2017 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA ignition

184Driving and operatingIt then adjusts the vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle ahead at the
selected following distance. The
vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
The adaptive cruise control can store
and maintain speeds over approx.
15 mph. If following a vehicle ahead
driving slower than 15 mph, the
slower speed will be set. On vehicles
with automatic transmission, the
system can also brake to a stop.
Adaptive cruise control uses a radar
sensor to detect vehicles ahead. If no
vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a traditional cruise
control.
For safety reasons, the system
cannot be activated before the brake
pedal or clutch pedal has been
depressed once after switching on
ignition.
Adaptive cruise control is mainly
advised to be used on long straight
roads like highways or country roads
with steady traffic. Do not use the
system if it is not advisable to
maintain a constant speed.
Control indicator A 3 109, m 3 109,
C 3 109.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on
Press C to switch on adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator m in the
instrument cluster illuminates white.
Additionally C appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Activation by setting the speed
Adaptive cruise control can be
activated between 15 mph and
112 mph.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
turn thumb wheel to SET/-, the
current speed is stored and
maintained. Control indicator m in the
instrument cluster illuminates green.

186Driving and operatingFull speed range adaptive cruise
control on vehicles with automatic
transmission
Full speed range adaptive cruise
control will maintain a following gap behind a detected vehicle and can
slow your vehicle to a stop behind that vehicle.
When the vehicle ahead drives away
within two minutes, turn thumb wheel
to RES/+ or operate the accelerator
pedal to reach a speed of 6 mph to
resume full speed range adaptive
cruise control.
If the stopped vehicle ahead begins to move forward and full speed range
adaptive cruise control has not
resumed, the green illuminated
vehicle ahead control indicator A will
flash and a warning chime will sound
as a reminder that the vehicle ahead
is pulling away.
When the vehicle ahead stops for
more than two minutes, the electrical
parking brake will apply automatically and the full speed range adaptive
cruise control will be deactivated. In
this event, drive the vehicle normallyby operating the accelerator pedal.
Turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 6 mph to resume full
speed range adaptive cruise control.9 Warning
When full speed range adaptive
cruise control is deactivated or
cancelled, the vehicle will no
longer be held at a stop and can
start to move. Always be prepared
to manually apply the brake pedal
to hold the vehicle stationary.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held at a stop by the full
speed range adaptive cruise
control. Always move selector
lever to park position P and switch
off the ignition before leaving the
vehicle.
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.

188Driving and operating● The collision imminent brakingsystem 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.
Additionally, the system is
automatically deactivated on vehicles
with automatic transmission (full
speed range adaptive cruise control)
when:
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● The vehicle is being held to a stop
by the system for more than
two minutes.
● The vehicle stops, the driver's seat belt is released and the
driver's door is opened.
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the control indicator m
and C in the Driver Information
Centre changes from green to white
and a pop-up message is displayed.
The stored speed is maintained. The
system is deactivated but not
switched off.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 or C
extinguishes. 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 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 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 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.
● 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.

Driving and operating201Display priorities
After activating the advanced parking
assist, a message appears in the
Driver Information Centre. Advanced

Driving and operating215Press LPG to switch between petrol
and liquid gas operation as soon as
the required parameters (coolant
temperature, gas temperature and
minimum engine speed) have been
reached. The requirements are
usually fulfilled after approximately
60 seconds (depending on exterior
temperature) and the first firm press
on the accelerator. The status LED
shows the current operating mode.1 off:petrol operation1 flashes:checking conditions

message is displayed
in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the fuel tank is empty, the engine
will not start.
The selected fuel mode is stored and reactivated at the next ignition cycle if
conditions allow.
As soon as the liquid gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged until the
ignition is switched off.
When switching automatically
between petrol or gas operation, a
brief delay of engine tractive power
may be noticeable.
Every six months, run the petrol tank
down until control indicator I or
Y illuminates, then refuel. This helps
maintain fuel quality and system
function for petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.
Faults and remedies
If gas mode is not possible, check the following:
● Is there enough liquid gas present?
● Is there enough petrol present for
starting?Due to extreme temperatures in
combination with the gas
composition, it may take slightly
longer before the system switches
from petrol to gas mode.
In extreme situations, the system may
also switch back to petrol mode if the
minimum requirements are not
fulfilled. If conditions allow, it may be possible to manually switch back to
liquid gas operation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults.Caution
Repairs and adjustments may onlybe made by trained specialists in
order to maintain the safety and
warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be
detected easily.

216Driving and operating9Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in
the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No
smoking. No naked flames or
ignition sources.
If the gas odour persists, do not start
the engine. If possible, close the
manual shut-off valve on the
multivalve. The multivalve is located
on the liquid gas tank in the load
compartment, underneath the rear
floor storage cover 3 74.
Turn the thumb wheel clockwise.
If no further gas odour is perceptible
when the manual shut-off valve is
closed, the vehicle can be used in
petrol mode. If the gas odour persists, do not start the engine. Have the
cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
When using underground car parks,
follow the instructions of the operator
and local laws.
