2019.75 OPEL COMBO E manual transmission

172Driving and operatingAdopting speed by the speed limit
recognition
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the speed limit
recognition. The detected speed limit
can be used as new value for the
cruise control.
Using a camera at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs. The system also takes
account of information on speed limits from the navigation map data.
The function can be deactivated or
activated in the personalisation menu
3 118.
If the cruise control is active, the
recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.
The displayed information depends
on the Driver Information Centre
version.
In the Driver Information Centre,
speed limit sign is shown in the
display and MEM illuminates for a few
seconds.Press MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed.
Press MEM on the steering wheel
once more to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
This speed is the new value for the
cruise control.
Exceeding the set speed
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed is resumed.
Deactivation of the functionality Press Ñ, cruise control is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.
The vehicle is driven without cruise
control.
Cruise control is deactivated, but not
switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.Cruise control is deactivated
automatically:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● Vehicle speed is below 40 km/h.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
operating.
● The selector lever is in N
(automatic transmission) / the
first or second gear (manual
transmission).
Resume stored speed
Press thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 40 km/h. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off the system
Press m, the cruise control mode is
deselected and the cruise control
indication extinguishes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates cruise control.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

Driving and operating175Switching off the system
Press ß, the speed limiter mode is
deselected and the speed limit
indication extinguishes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pressing m to activate cruise control
deactivates speed limiter.
The preset speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault,
the speed is cleared resulting in
flashing of the dashes.
The speed limiter may not operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.
Adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to the conventional
cruise control with the additional
feature of maintaining a certain
following distance to the vehicle
ahead. It uses a camera at the top ofthe windscreen and camera sensors
to detect the vehicles ahead. If no
vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control
automatically decelerates the vehicle
when approaching a slower moving
vehicle. It 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 ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates the turn
lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.The adaptive cruise control can store
set speeds for manual transmission.
If the vehicle ahead is moving too
slowly and the selected following
distance cannot be maintained
anymore, a warning chime is given
and a message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre. The
message prompts the driver to take
back control of the vehicle. On
vehicles with automatic transmission, the system can brake the vehicle until
a full stop.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds over 30 km/h for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is
moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be
maintained anymore, a warning
chime is given and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The message prompts the driver to take back control of the
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system can brake
the vehicle until a full stop.

176Driving and operating9Warning
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 button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press C, the symbol C is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre. The
system is still not active.
Activation of the functionality by
setting the speed
The adaptive cruise control has to be switched on manually at a speed
between 30 km/h and 180 km/h.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the automatic selector
lever must be in position D or M.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
move the thumb wheel to SET/-. The
current speed is stored and
maintained.The speed value is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre.
When the adaptive cruise control is
operating, the stop-start system is
automatically deactivated.
Overriding set speed It is always possible to drive fasterthan the selected set speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the
stored speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is ahead, the following
distance selected by the driver is
restored.

184Driving and operatingEmergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard.
Front automatic braking can only
occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert 3 181
Front pedestrian protection 3 185
Below a speed of 30 km/h,
emergency automatic braking may
slow down the vehicle to a complete
stop. If the speed exceeds 30 km/h,
emergency automatic braking
reduces the speed. However, the
driver must apply the brake.Emergency automatic braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash.
● Automatic transmission: If the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, automatic braking is
maintained for up to two
seconds. Keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle
from starting off again.
● Manual transmission: If the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt
by a slight vibration in the brake
pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
System limitations
In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● detecting all vehicles, especially vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
● detecting a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow
● driving during nighttime
● windscreen damaged or stickered
