Monitor object ahead
Objects are all vehicles in the same lane. The vehicles on other lanes are of no interest for the Active Cruise
Control option.
In the same lane, the vehicle immediately ahead is selected as the object.
With the calculated expected same lane, the lateral deviation of each monitored object to the same lane can be
determined.
The radar waves received cannot distinguish between animals, vehicles and traffic signs. In order to prevent
incorrect reactions, stationary objects and traffic in the other direction are ignored in the distance control.
Cruise control
The Active Cruise Control option differentiates between 2 driving conditions:
•
Cruise control with specified set speed
A selected set speed (in the range 30 km/h - 180 km/h) is automatically maintained on open roads
without vehicles driving ahead.
•
Cruise control with speed adapted to that of vehicle driving ahead
If a slower vehicle is detected on the vehicle's own track, the vehicle's own speed will be adapted to that of
the vehicle driving ahead
At the same time, a distance from this vehicle preset by the driver is established (4 fixed, timed
separations can be selected).
The timed separation from a vehicle driving ahead is no less than 1 second under stationary conditions. In
certain conditions (e.g. when a vehicle cuts in a short distance ahead), this timed separation may briefly be
less than 1 second.
Lens heating
The lens of the ACC sensor is made of plastic. The built-in lens heating ensures better availability of the Active
Cruise Control option in winter weather conditions.
