Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
This enhancement uses a front mounted radar to monitor
traffic ahead. ACC can be programmed to maintain a set
gap to the vehicle ahead. When a vehicle ahead enters
the same lane as you, or, if the vehicle ahead is traveling
slower than the set speed, your vehicle will automatically
slow down and then maintain the set gap until the road
ahead clears. At that point, your vehicle will accelerate to
the set speed.

v

ehicle ahead. There are 4 gap settings to choose

from. When ACC is active, the amber warning lamp
will illuminate in the Instrument panel. The
Message center will display the current set
gap.
Set speeds are cleared at ignition switch off.
Forward alert
Forward alert is an additional feature of ACC and
provides limited detection of objects in the road ahead.
When necessary, it will give an audible warning plus the
Message center warning, FORWARD ALERT. The driver
must take appropriate action.

external devices, such as, garage doors,
entry gates, security systems, etc.

will illuminate as a warning if the driver’s and/
or front passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled.
Dependent on specification, this may be accompanied by
a warning chime.

than age, determines the type of seat that is required.

determine the correct seat for your child.The front passenger seat occupancy sensor determines
the state of seat occupancy and sets the air bag status
to suit:
