Activated mode, its target speed is the actual speed  
at activation; if your vehicle speed is less than 20mph

speed. Whilst in the car following cruise mode, you  
can follow the vehicle ahead to a stop, if the amount  
of time that the vehicle is in a stopped condition is  
less than approximately 3 seconds your vehicle may  
automatically pull away to follow the vehicle ahead, if  
the stopped time exceeds 3 seconds your car will not  
automatically pull away, you will receive a prompt in  
the instrument pack message centre requesting you  
to re-activate the adaptive cruise control using the  
method displayed.  
Whilst using the car following cruise  
function it is strongly recommended that  
the driver does not touch the accelerator  
pedal. Any activation of the accelerator  
will not allow the system to automatically  
apply the brakes should this be necessary.  
DO NOT exit the vehicle when the ACC  
car following cruise function has stopped,  
or is keeping the car stationary. Before  
exiting the car the shift control lever  
should be in the Park position, the parking  
brake applied and the power switch in  
the OFF position.

After following the vehicle ahead to a  
stop, the driver must observe any local  
traffic laws and ensure that there are no  
obstacles or other traffic participants,  
such as pedestrians, directly in front of  
the vehicle before allowing it to pull away  
and begin to follow the vehicle ahead  
again.  
If the ACC system has already stopped the  
vehicle, and the ACC function is disabled,  
turned off or cancelled, the vehicle will  
no longer stay still, it may move forward  
or slip backward. When the vehicle is  
stopped and kept still by the ACC system,  
be sure to be ready to apply the brakes  
manually.

STARTING & DRIVING

If the vehicle speed exceeds the maximum function  
speed of the ACC 90mph (150km/h)the system will  
automatically switch to the Standby mode, this means  
that all acceleration and braking manoeuvres must be  
carried out by the driver according to local traffic laws  
and traffic and road conditions.  
Approaching the vehicle ahead too fast, the adaptive  
cruise control system cannot apply sufficient  
braking force.  
A vehicle suddenly cuts into the lane in front.  
The vehicle ahead makes an emergency braking  
manoeuvre.  
An oncoming vehicle crosses the centre of the road  
and is driving towards you in the same lane.

truck).

If the adaptive cruise control system is already in use,  
the driver should pay special attention in the following  
conditions, select the appropriate speed, and be ready  
to take action or apply brakes.  
IMPORTANT  
When an image of your car and rear end of the  
vehicle ahead separated by a grid, is displayed in the  
instrument pack message centre the ACC system  
will make any necessary response to the vehicle  
ahead, if the image is not displayed the ACC system  
will NOT make any response, the responsibility for  
any manoeuvres rest with the driver.  
Encounters pedestrians, non-motor vehicles or  
animals.  
The vehicle is driving on a steep slope, an uneven  
road or a complex traffic road section.  
The vehicle makes a sharp turn.
