Parking aid
148

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Note: Once the system has been activated by
selecting reverse or using the switch, the front
and rear sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral. Therefore, if an obstacle
is detected an audible warning tone will sound.
The parking aid is automatically in standby
when the ignition is on and provides the driver
with information on most obstructions, and
their distance from the vehicle, when
manoeuvring. This is ac hieved by using four
ultrasonic sensors on each bumper.
When objects are detected the Park aid will
emit a warning tone which increases in
frequency and then becomes constant, as the
vehicle gets closer to the object.
USING THE PARKING AID
Touch-screen
To set the volume of the parking aid warning
tones:
• Select Vehicle from the touch-screen
Home menu, then select Veh. settings.
• Select Parking , then select Vol. presets.
Touch the Parking aid + or - button to increase
or decrease the warning tone volume.
Note: This adjusts both front and rear speaker
volume.
WARNINGS
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to be vigilant when reversing. Small
children or animals may not be
detected by the system.
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects , barriers, thin
obstructions or painted surfaces which could
possibly cause damage to the vehicle may not
be detected by the system. Always be vigilant
when reversing.
CAUTIONS
Objects moving away from the vehicle
will be reported. Howe ver, whilst driving
away, object warning may be temporarily
reported due to ground reflection.
Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.

Driving hints

ECONOMICAL DRIVING
There are two main factors which influence fuel
economy, the way the vehicle is driven and
maintenance.
Driving tips for economy
•Avoid unnecessary jour neys, especially
short stop-start trips.
• Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
stand still.
• Allow time to brake gently and smoothly.
• Be aware of traffic and road conditions
ahead, and take action in time to avoid
hard braking or acceleration.
• When stationary apply the park brake, and
select neutral.
• Turn off the air conditioning when not
needed.
Maintenance and fuel economy
Regular servicing by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer, along with regular checks by the
driver are essential fo r vehicle longevity and
fuel economy.
The condition of the engine (oils, filters, spark
plugs, settings etc.) tyre pressures, and wheel
alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel
economy. For this reason it is essential that the
vehicle is checked regularly by the driver and
serviced by an approved Dealer/Authorised
Repairer at the correct intervals.
Note: If you are in any doubt about the
maintenance requirement s, intervals, or
checks required, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer for advice.

Cruise control
156

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a
constant road speed without using the
accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful for
motorway cruising, or for any journey where a
constant speed can be maintained for a lengthy
period.
The cruise (speed) contro l system can be used
by the driver to maintain a selected vehicle
speed above 30 km/h (18 mph).
Adjustment controls on the steering wheel
allow the driver manual control of the system.
Brake operations also influence the cruise
control system.
1. SET - The speed adjustment control thumb
wheel is used to engage cruise control
initially by rolling it upw ards. It is also used
to increase ( +) or decrease ( -) the set
speed until the desired speed is obtained.
2. CANCEL - Cancels cruise control but
retains the set speed in memory.
3. RESUME - Resumes the cruise control set
speed after it ha s been cancelled.
USING CRUISE CONTROL
Setting vehicle speed
When you are travelling at the speed you
require, roll the speed adjustment control ( 1)
upwards or downwards to increase or decrease
speed.
Cruise control will engage and maintain the set
speed and you can remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
Note: Cruise control w ill automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is pressed or
when the vehicle speed falls below 30 km/h
(18 mph).
E9708823
1
WARNING
Only use cruise control when
conditions are favourable, for
example, straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic.
In certain conditions, such as a steep
downhill gradient, the vehicle speed
may exceed the set cruising speed.
This is because engine braking is unable to
maintain or reduce the vehicle speed. Driver
intervention may be required.

159
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is
designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap
from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if
there is no slower vehicle ahead. The system is
intended to provide enhanced operation of the
vehicle when following other vehicles which
are in the same lane and travelling in the same
direction.
The ACC system uses a radar sensor, which
projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle
to detect objects ahead.
The radar sensor is m ounted centrally behind
the bumper cover above the cooling aperture,
to provide a clear view forward for the radar
beam.
USING ACC
The system is operated by adjustment controls
mounted on the steering wh eel. The driver can
also intervene at any time by use of the brake
or accelerator pedals. The steering wheel
adjustment controls operate as follows:
1. SET - Rotate the thumbwheel upwards ( +)
or downwards ( -), to increase or decrease
speed, until the desire d speed is achieved.
2. Gap increase or decr ease. Four settings
available by adjusting the thumb wheel.
3. CANCEL - Cancels but retains the set
speed in memory.
4. RESUME - Resumes the set speed after it
has been cancelled.
WARNING
ACC is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally, ACC
will not react to:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below
10 km/h (6 mph).
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
CAUTION
Only use ACC when conditions are
favourable (i.e. main roads with free
flowing traffic).
Do not use in poor visibility, specifically
fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
E94163
Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
It is the drivers re sponsibility to stay
alert, drive safely and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
Keep the front of the vehicle free from
dirt, metal badges or objects, including
vehicle front protectors, which may
prevent the sensor from operating.
Do not use ACC when entering or
leaving a motorway.
CAUTION

Setting the speed
Accelerate as normal until the required speed is
reached.
Rotate the speed adjustment control upwards
(+) to store the vehicle speed in the memory
and engage the system.
The set speed will be displayed on the message
centre (e.g. SETSPEED 80 KM/H (50 MPH) ).
Changing the speed
There are three ways to change the set speed:
•Accelerate or brake to the desired speed
then rotate the speed adjustment control
upwards ( +).
• Increase or decrease the speed by rotating
the speed adjustment control upwards ( +)
or downwards ( -), until the required set
speed is shown on the message centre.
The vehicle speed will gradually adjust to
the selected speed.
• Increase or decrease the speed in steps of
2 km/h (1 mph) by rotating the speed
adjustment control upwards (+) or
downwards ( -) briefly until the desired
speed is obtained.
ACC operates between approximately 30 km/h
and 180 km/h (18 mph and 112 mph)
dependent on the c ountry specification.
Set speeds outside th is range will not be
captured. The ACC may apply the brakes to slow down
the vehicle to the new set speed. The new set
speed will be displayed on the message centre
until ACC is cancelled.
Follow mode gap settings
Once a set speed has been selected, the driver
can release the accelerator and the set road
speed will be maintained.
When a vehicle ahead enters the same lane or
a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the
vehicle speed will be adjusted automatically
until the gap to the vehicle ahead corresponds
to the default gap setting (gap level 3). The
vehicle is now in
follow mode.
The amber warning indicator in the
instrument panel will be
illuminated.
The message centre will display the gap set.
E97091
WARNING
When in follow mode, the vehicle will
not decelerate automatically to a stop,
nor will the vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a collision, without
driver intervention.
E91497

161
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

The vehicle will then maintain the constant time
gap to the vehicle ahead until:
•The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of lane or out
of view.
• A new gap distance is set.
If necessary, the vehicle brakes will be
automatically applied to slow the vehicle to
maintain the gap to the vehicle in front.
The maximum braking which is applied by the
ACC system is limited and can be overridden by
the driver applying the brakes, if required.
Note: Driver braking will cancel ACC.
If the ACC system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, then an
audible warning will sound while the ACC
continues to brake. DRIVER INTERVENE will be
displayed on the message centre. The driver
should take immediate action.
When in follow mode, the vehicle will
automatically return to the set speed when the
road ahead is clear, for instance when:
• The vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane.
• The driver changes lane to either side or
enters an exit lane.
The driver should intervene if appropriate.
Changing the follow mode set gap
The gap from the vehicle ahead can be
decreased or increased by rolling the
thumbwheel on the stee ring wheel. Four gap
settings are available and the selected gap
setting will be displaye d on the message centre
when either ACC button is pressed. Each gap level is indicated by an
additional
chevron in front of th e vehicle icon in the
message centre (one chevron (gap level 1)
being the shortest, four chevrons (gap level 4)
being the longest). A fter the ignition is
switched on, the default gap (gap level 3) will
be automatically selected ready for ACC
operation.
Note: When the ignition is switched off, the
gap setting will revert to the default setting
(gap level 3) when switched on again.
Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to select a
gap appropriate to the driving conditions.
Overriding the speed and follow mode
The set speed and gap ca n be overridden by
pressing the accelerator pedal when cruising at
constant speed or in follow mode. If the vehicle
is in follow mode, the instrument warning
indicator will go out when the ACC is
overridden by the driver using the accelerator
and CRUISE OVERRIDE will be displayed on
the message centre. When the accelerator is
released the ACC functi on will operate again
and vehicle speed will decrease to the set
speed, or a lower spee d if follow mode is
active.
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding the
ACC by depressing the accelerator
pedal, the ACC will not automatically
apply the brakes to ma intain separation from
any vehicle ahead.
