2015.75 VAUXHALL ASTRA J cruise control

Driving and operating189consult a workshop to verify and
correct the adaptive cruise control sensor position.
Settings
Settings can be changed in the Auto
collision preparation menu in the
vehicle personalisation, 3 131.
Fault
If the adaptive cruise control does not work due to temporary conditions
(e.g. blockage by ice) or if there is a
permanent system error, then a
message is displayed in the DIC.
Vehicle messages 3 125.
Forward collision alert The forward collision alert can help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by a
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) is provided.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert is activated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 131 or that it
is not deactivated by pressing V
(depending on the system, see
following).
Depending on the vehicle's
equipment, there are two variants of
the forward collision alert available:
■ Forward collision alert based on
radar system

190Driving and operating
on vehicles equipped with adaptivecruise control 3 182.
■ Forward collision alert based on
front camera system
on vehicles with traditional cruise control or none 3 179.
Forward collision alert based on
radar system The system uses the radar sensor
behind the radiator grille to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path,
within a maximum distance of
150 metres.
Activation
Forward collision alert operates
automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto collision
preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 131.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity can be set to
near, medium or far.
Press E; the current setting is shown
in the DIC. Press E again to change
the alert sensitivity. The setting is also
displayed in the top line of the DIC.
Note that the alert timing sensitivity
setting is shared with the following distance setting of the adaptive cruise control. So changing the alert timing
sensitivity changes the adaptive
cruise control following distance
setting.
Alerting the driver
A green illuminated vehicle ahead
control indicator A illuminates in the
instrument cluster when the system has detected a vehicle in the driving
path. When the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small or when approaching another
