Setting the distance
When you draw closer to a vehicle in front, the adaptive cruise
control matches your speed to that vehicle by automatically
applying the brakes, and then maintains a constant distance
(which you can adjust in the settings). The vehicle may get
closer than the target distance for a moment. If the vehicle
in front accelerates, the adaptive cruise control will also
accelerate, up to the target speed you have specified.
The higher the speed, the higher the distance in metres
WARNING!.
We recommend you to use the setting: distance
3. You will then be following the general recommendations
of automobile clubs, traffic authorities, etc.
The actual distance maintained by the adaptive cruise control
can be longer or shorter, depending on the traffic situation
and the driving style of the driver in front.
distance 1: This setting
is equivalent to a distance of 28 metres at a speed of 100 km/h
(time-based distance of 1 second).
distance 2: This setting
is equivalent to a distance of 36 metres at a speed of 100 km/h
(time-based distance of 1.3 seconds).
distance 3: This setting
is equivalent to a distance of 50 metres at a speed of 100 km/h
(time-based distance of 1.8 seconds).
distance 4: This setting
is equivalent to a distance of 64 metres at a speed of 100 km/h
(time-based distance of 2.3 seconds).
Setting the driving program
You can set the driving program to dynamic,
standard or
comfort. The acceleration style
ranges from dynamic to comfortable, depending on the selected
driving program and the distance setting.
When setting the distance, the driver is responsible for adhering
to the locally applicable laws and regulations.
Note
- Distance 3 is set automatically each time the ignition is switched on. If you would prefer to have a different distance as the default setting, you can have the adaptive cruise control menu extended by a qualified workshop.
- Your personal settings are stored automatically and assigned to the remote control key which is being used.
