2019.75 VAUXHALL COMBO E warning

178Driving and operatingHill considerations9Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
Fault
In the event of a fault with the adaptive
cruise control, you are alerted by the
illumination of a warning light and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Forward collision alert The forward collision alert may help toavoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera in the windscreen to
detect a preceding vehicle directly
ahead, in your path.If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.

Driving and operating179ActivationForward collision alert detects
vehicles and operates automatically
at all speeds above 3 mph and
53 mph. The system detects
stationary vehicles if the speed does
not exceed 50 mph.
Alerting the driver
The driver is warned by following
alerts:
● Symbol , illuminates and a
warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre
when the distance to the vehicle
ahead gets to small.
● Symbol , illuminates, a warning
message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre and a
warning chime sounds, when a
collision is imminent and
immediate driver's action is
required.9 Warning

Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity has to be set to
close, normal or distant in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 115.
The chosen setting will remain until it
is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 115.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react
also to other objects.

180Driving and operatingIn the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,
dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking Active emergency braking can help toreduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
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 or the front pedestrian protection
alert.Forward collision alert 3 178
Front pedestrian protection 3 182
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, brake pressure,
vehicle speed) to calculate the
probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
Active emergency braking is
equipped with a front camera and
operates in forward gear above
walking speed up to 53 mph. The
system detects stationary vehicles
only if the speed does not exceed
50 mph.
A precondition is that active
emergency braking is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 115.
If deactivated, m illuminates in the
instrument cluster and a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre
If the system has been deactivated
manually, it is reactivated
automatically the next time the
ignition is switched on.
The system includes: ● emergency automatic braking● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection

Driving and operating181Emergency automatic brakingAfter 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 3 178
Front pedestrian protection 3 182
Below a speed of 19 mph, emergency
automatic braking may slow down the vehicle to a complete stop. If the
speed exceeds 19 mph, 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 completestop, 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

Driving and operating183Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided.
Cruise control or Adaptive cruise
control may be disengaged when the
front pedestrian alert occurs.
System limitations In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or sensor
performance is limited:
● vehicle speed is out of range from
3 mph to 37 mph in forward gear
● the distance to an pedestrian ahead is more than 40 m
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
