Active Cruise Control*

The principle

Active Cruise Control enables you to select

a speed which the car will then maintain

automatically, assuming your progress is

not obstructed.

Subject to reasonable limits, the system

automatically adjusts the speed of your car

if you come up behind a slower vehicle in

front. You can adjust the distance which

the system maintains between your own

car and the vehicle in front in four stages.

For safety reasons, this distance depends

on the speeds in question. To maintain

sufficient distance, the system automati-

cally closes down the throttle, applies the

brakes if necessary, and speeds up again if

the vehicle in front accelerates. As soon as

the road ahead becomes clear, it acceler-

ates to your desired speed again.

Active Cruise Control is no substitute

for the driver's individual responsi-

bility to keep a safe distance from other

vehicles.

You should decide on the basis of the road,

traffic and visibility conditions whether and

how to use the system.

Only use the system in traffic that is flowing

at a steady speed; do not use it on roads

with tight bends, on slippery surfaces, in

heavy rain or in fog.

Check your road speed and stopping

distance, to avoid committing a traffic

offence or running the risk of causing an

accident.<

Vehicle detected. The display

lights up when there is a vehicle

in front.

The system instructs you to

intervene by braking and, if

necessary, taking evasive

action. The display flashes.

Active Cruise Control is unable

to restore the distance between your car

and the vehicle in front automatically. For

further details, see page 74.

Active Cruise Control will only intervene by applying the brakes. For further details, see page 74.

Driving De-activating the system Whenever the ignition is switched off, the system is de-activated and the desired speed stored in the memory is deleted. 1 Memorising and increasing the desired speed Press the lever forwards: Your momentary road speed is adopted as your desired speed, and memorised. The speedometer displays this speed. If the lever is pressed forwards a further time, the desired speed is increased to the nearest 5-mile step.
PAGE 4
Distance 3 When you switch on the system for the first time after starting the engine, this distance is always preset. > Knurled wheel turned upwards: To increase the distance > Knurled wheel turned downwards: To reduce the distance 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.
PAGE 5
Driving Bends in the road Vehicles pulling out If the desired speed selected is excessive for a bend, the system will reduce the speed while the car is taking the bend. However, it is unable to anticipate how sharp a bend in the road is. It is therefore the driver's responsibility to select an appropriate speed before entering a bend. Due to the sensor's restricted range, the situation may arise where a preceding vehicle may not be detected on a bend in the road, or detected very late.

Overview Cruise Control. The system will only intervene by applying the brakes. Controls In such situations, the system can also be interrupted by pressing the accelerator. You can resume use of the system as desired, as soon as the road conditions and the traffic situation permit. The driver retains control Driving hints The driver's actions always take precedence. If the driver operates the accelerator while Active Cruise Control is in use, the automatic braking function is temporarily interrupted.
