When to use it
Please study the instructions for Active
Cruise Control carefully before using it.
Read and observe the following notes
closely, so that you will be able to use the
system safely and to maximum benefit.
Braking by the system and by the driver
The system is capable of braking the car as
you approach a slower-moving vehicle or if
the car is travelling downhill. It will also
brake the car if you reduce the desired
speed abruptly. It is nevertheless your
responsibility as the driver to keep reas-
sessing the traffic situation and to apply the
brakes yourself if necessary.
Situations may arise in which the driver's
active intervention is essential. The range
of the sensor and the system's capacity for
braking the car automatically are limited.
The system will bring the car's speed down
to approx. 20 mph, below which the car
must be actively braked by the driver.
The system will not brake the car if you
approach a stationary obstruction on your
side of the road, e.g. a vehicle standing at
red traffic lights or the end of a tailback. It
likewise does not respond to oncoming
vehicles.
