2017 OPEL ZAFIRA C wheel

178Driving and operatinglarge increments, or activate SET/-
repeatedly: speed decreases in small
increments.
If the vehicle is driven with adaptive
cruise control active much slower
than the desired speed, e.g. because
of a slower vehicle ahead, then the
current speed can be stored and
maintained by turning the thumb
wheel to SET/-.
Resume stored speed If the system is switched on but
inactive, then turn thumb wheel to
RES/+ at a speed above 50 km/h to
resume the stored speed.
The stored speed is indicated in
brackets when the system is switched
on but not active,
Setting the following distance
When adaptive cruise control detects a slower moving vehicle in the driving
path, it will adjust the vehicle speed to maintain the following distance
selected by the driver.
The following distance can be set to
near, medium or far.
Press E, the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press E again to change the
following distance. The setting is also displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.The selected following distance is
indicated by filled distance bars on
the adaptive cruise control page.
Note that the following distance
setting is shared with the sensitivity
setting of forward collision alert.
Example: If setting 3 (far) is selected,
then the driver is warned sooner
before a possible collision, also if
adaptive cruise control is inactive or
switched off.

180Driving and operatingSwitching off
Press C to switch off adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator m and
C in the Driver Information Centre
extinguish. The stored speed is
deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
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 require 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 of the vehicle.
● 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 completely suppresses thevisibility. 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.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● Adaptive cruise control does not brake for pedestrians, animals,very slow speed driving or
stopped vehicles.
● Don't use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or
consider a vehicle which is not in the
actual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no
longer detects any vehicle ahead,
then control indicator A will
extinguish.
If the centrifugal force is too high in a bend, the system slows down the vehicle slightly. This braking level is
not designed to avoid spinning off the bend. The driver is responsible for
reducing the selected speed before

186Driving and operatingdepending on the vehicle equipment,
either the radar behind the radiator
grille or the front camera in the
windscreen to detect the distance of
a vehicle directly ahead in your path. It is active at speeds above 40 km/h.
When a preceding vehicle is detected
ahead, the distance is indicated in
seconds, displayed on a page in the
Driver Information Centre 3 117.
Press MENU on the turn signal lever
to select Vehicle Information
Menu ? and turn the adjuster
wheel to choose following distance
indication page.
The minimum indicated distance is
0.5 s.
If there is no vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is out of range, two
dashes will be displayed: -.- s.
If Adaptive cruise control is active,
this page shows the alert sensitivity
setting instead of following distance setting. 3 176.
Active Emergency Braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and obstacles
directly ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by
manual braking or by steering. Before
the active emergency braking
applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision alert 3 182.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate the probability of
a frontal collision.
Active emergency braking operates automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto collision
preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 125.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● forward looking brake assist9Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility of driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only. The driver shall continue to apply the brake
pedal as the driving situation
dictates.

Driving and operating195Combinations of multiple signs in the
display are possible.
An exclamation mark in a frame
indicates that there is an additional
sign detected which is not recognised
by the system.
The system operates without loss of
performance up to a speed of
200 km/h depending on the lighting
conditions. At night the system is
active up to a speed of 160 km/h.
Display indication Information about the currently valid
traffic signs is available on the
designated traffic sign assistant page in the Driver Information Centre.
Additionally, the currently valid speed
limit is displayed permanently in the
lower line of the Driver Information
Centre. In case a speed limit with
addon is available, a + symbol is
displayed in this area.
Choose ? via MENU and select
traffic sign assistant page with the adjuster wheel on the turn signal lever
3 117.
When another page on the Driver
Information Centre menu was
selected and then traffic sign
assistant page is chosen again, the
last recognised traffic sign will be
displayed.
Alert function
The alert function can be activated or
deactivated in the setting menu of the
traffic sign assistant page.
Once activated and when the traffic
sign detection page is currently not
displayed, newly detected speed limit
and no passing signs are displayed
as popup alerts in the Driver
Information Centre.

196Driving and operating
When traffic sign assistant page is
displayed, press SET/CLR on the turn
signal lever.
Select Alerts ON or Alerts OFF by
turning the adjuster wheel and press SET/CLR .
Pop-up alert is displayed for approx.
eight seconds in the Driver
Information Centre.
System reset The content of the traffic sign memory
can be cleared in the setting menu of the traffic sign assistant page by
selecting Reset and confirm by
pressing SET/CLR on the turn signal
lever.
Alternatively, SET/CLR can be
pressed for three seconds to clear the
content of the page.
Upon successful reset, a chime will
sound and the following “Default
Sign” is indicated until the next traffic
sign is detected.
In some cases, traffic sign assistant is
cleared up automatically by the
system.
Clearing of traffic signs
There are different scenarios that
lead to clearing the currently
displayed traffic signs. After clearing,
the “Default Sign” is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.

212Driving and operatingDismounting the coupling ball bar
Open the protective flap and turn the
key to position c to unlock the
coupling ball bar.
Pull out rotary handle and turn
clockwise as far as it will go. Pull out coupling ball bar downwards.
Insert sealing plug in opening. Fold away socket.
Trailer stability assist
If the system detects snaking
movements, engine power is reduced
and the vehicle/trailer combination is
selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible.
Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control 3 170.
