Adaptive cruise control1 can support you with maintaining a set speed. When driving with adaptive cruise control active, you select a target speed. The car then manages acceleration and braking to meet that target while also adapting to surrounding traffic.
When using adaptive cruise control, you are still responsible for maintaining focus and driving safely. The speed-keeping features exist to support you, but the responsibility of safe driving practice still lies with the driver.
Important
Before using adaptive cruise control
- Take the time to read everything the manual has to say about adaptive cruise control before using it.
- This support feature depends on information from radar and camera detection systems. Understanding their capabilities and limitations is necessary for safe use.
Managing speed and distance to vehicles ahead
When you activate adaptive cruise control, a set speed value appears by the speedometer. This represents the target speed that adaptive cruise control tries to maintain. You can adjust the set speed with the steering wheel buttons.
Instead of manually adjusting the set speed, you also have the option to use the current speed limit as your target speed. The set speed then automatically updates when the speed limit changes. This can be enabled in settings.
If your car detects a vehicle ahead that's either slower than you or a bit too close, adaptive cruise control will slow down to maintain a certain distance to the vehicle in front. You can adjust the general distance to vehicles ahead with the steering wheel buttons while using adaptive cruise control.
