Active cruise control may brake when you

reduce the stored desired speed; however, the

driver must constantly monitor traffic and inter-

vene if necessary.

When you switch off the engine or ignition,

active cruise control is fully switched off, too,

and any settings you have selected are can-

celed.

Behavior in curves

Because of the limited range of the system, it is

possible that in curves or on the peaks and val-

leys of hilly roads, a vehicle ahead may be rec-

ognized late, or not at all. Therefore, it is up to

the driver to select a speed that is prudent in

view of the curves and terrain of the roadway.

In approaching a curve, it is possible that active

cruise control would react briefly to a vehicle in

the adjacent lane. In addition, the system can

sense if your vehicle is in a curve and may not

accelerate. If your vehicle decelerates in either

case, you can choose to overcome the deceler-

ation by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal.

Driver interventions

Anytime the driver presses down on the

accelerator pedal, any automatic braking

action by the system is interrupted until the

pedal is fully released. After doing this, release

the accelerator and the system again controls

your cruising speed and distance setting. While

driving with activated system, resting your foot

on the accelerator pedal will cause the system

not to brake even if necessary. Be certain that

floormats or other objects on the vehicle floor

do not interfere with movement of the accelera-

tor pedal.<

While active cruise control is capable of

braking your vehicle automatically when

you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is

important to be aware that the ability of the sys-

tem to apply the brakes is also limited, if you are

driving down a steep grade or when you reduce

your desired speed sharply. The system cannot

stop your vehicle. It uses only a portion of brak-

ing system capacity and does not utilize the full

capacity of the vehicle braking system. There-

fore, the system cannot decrease your speed

for large differences in speed between your

vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Examples: during

emergency braking, when you approach a vehi-

cle traveling at a much lower speed than your

own speed such as when approaching a toll

booth or when a much slower vehicle cuts in

front of you at close range.<

Whenever active cruise control

recognizes a situation that requires

driver braking because the system

capacity has been reached or has

been exceeded, the system alerts

the driver by flashing this symbol in the instru-

ment cluster and sounding a signal.
