2020 VAUXHALL CORSA F manual transmission

124Driving and operating
It uses radar 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 over 19 mph 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.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 button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press w.
w is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is still not active.

Driving and operating125
Activation of the functionalitySetting speed by the driver
The adaptive cruise control has to be
switched on manually at a speed
between 19 mph and 112 mph. 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.
The preset speed can then be
changed by moving thumb wheel to
RES/+ to increase or SET/- to
decrease the speed. Move thumb
wheel repeatedly to change speed in
small steps, move and hold to change speed in large steps.
When the adaptive cruise control is
operating, the stop-start system is
automatically deactivated.
Adopting 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 taken over as new set speed
for the adaptive cruise control.
Using the camera at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs.
If the adaptive cruise control is active, the recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre and MEM illuminates if the
difference between set speed and
speed limit is more than 6 mph.
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 limit is now the new set
speed of the adaptive cruise control.

128Driving and operatingThe adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically in the
following cases:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The vehicle accelerates above 112 mph (manual and automatic
transmission) or slows down
below 19 mph (manual
transmission).
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● The traction control system or electronic stability control is
deactivated or operating.
● The selector lever of automatic transmissions is neither in D nor
in M.
● A fault is detected in the electronic stability control or the
radar system.
● Immediately after the clutch pedal has been depressed or afew seconds after the clutch
pedal has been depressed
(depending on the manual
transmission).Switching off the system
Press w, the adaptive cruise control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing 5 to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise
control.
Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention ● Use the adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs 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 the 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 thevisibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.
System limits9 Warning
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.
● The adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● The adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.

132Driving and operatingOn vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates from
3 mph to 87 mph when a vehicle has
been detected.
Active emergency braking only works when the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking ● smart brake assist
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.Emergency 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.
Emergency automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert 3 134
Front pedestrian protection 3 136
Below a speed of 19 mph, emergency automatic braking may slow down thevehicle 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 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.

140Driving and operatingDepending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals inthe vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Info Display 3 74.
If the vehicle stops for more than
3 seconds in a forward gear, if
automatic transmission is in P
position or if no further obstacles are
detected, no acoustic warning signals
are given.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 6 mph, by applying the
electric parking brake or by pressing
the parking assist button e.
When the system is deactivated
manually, the LED in the button
illuminates.
If the system has been deactivated
manually, it is not reactivated
automatically the next time the
ignition is switched on.
System limitations
In the event of a fault or if the system does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, C
illuminates in the instrument cluster. A message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre and a warning
chime sounds.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
