The distance between you and the vehicle
detected in front of you is maintained by
a variable setting. This setting is
represented by horizontal bars displayed
in the information display. Selecting one
bar gives the smallest gap and selecting
all bars gives the largest gap. These bars
are shown empty when in standby mode
and filled when the system is in use.
When the system does not detect a vehicle
in front of you, you will only see your
vehicle displayed in the information display
below the bars. The system will maintain
the set speed when conditions permit. The
system also maintains the set gap and
displays this in the information display.
When the system detects a vehicle in front
of you, it will be displayed above the
horizontal bars.
This is a follow mode. The system will
accelerate or decelerate as necessary to
maintain the set gap. The selected gap will
determine the acceleration behavior of the
system. Press switch A to decrease the gap or
switch B to increase the gap. The number
of bars in the information display
represents the set gap.
Note:
The recommended gap setting is
three bars.
Standby Mode
Note: You will cancel the system if you
move the transmission selector lever to
neutral or depress the clutch or accelerator
pedal for a long period of time.
Press the brake pedal or CAN to cancel
the system. The system will return to
standby mode allowing you full manual
control of your vehicle. The memory will
retain the set speed and gap setting.
Press
RES+ to resume. The system will
resume with the previously set speed and
gap setting if conditions permit.
Switching the System Off
Press the cruise control button to switch
the system off.
Note: This will not retain the stored speed.
Automatic Cancel
Note: A message will be shown in the
display if the engine speed drops too low. It
will advise you to change down a gear
(manual transmission only). If you do not
follow this recommendation then the
system will automatically cancel.
Note: The system will not operate when
traction control is off.
The system is dependent on various other
systems, for example anti-lock braking
system and electronic stability program.
When a safety system has a malfunction
or is reacting to an emergency, the system
will automatically cancel.
