166 Driving and operating ● There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides for several minutes. In this case, there are no radar echoes and the sensor may report that it is blocked. ● The collision imminent braking system is applying the brakes. ● The radar sensor is blocked by an ice or water film. ● A fault is detected in the radar, engine or brake system. When adaptive cruise control is deactivated automatically, the control indicator m illuminates white and a warning symbol is displayed as a pop- up in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is maintained. 9 Warning When adaptive cruise control is deactivated, the driver must take over full brake and engine control. Switching off Press C to switch off adaptive cruise control. The control indicator m extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. switches off adaptive cruise control and deletes the stored speed. Driver's attention ● Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain roads, as it can lose the vehicle ahead and need time to detect it again. ● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create rapid changes in tyre traction (wheel spinning), so that you could lose control. ● Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as the radar sensor can be covered by a water film, dust, ice or snow. This reduces or suppresses completely the visibility. In case of sensor blockage, clean the sensor cover. System limits ● The system's automatic brake force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be sufficient to avoid a collision. |
