System Activation
- Cruise control operation is only possible in speed range 30 km/h to 180 km/h
- The LDM limits the acceleration (approx. + 1.2 m/s2
) & deceleration (max. -2.5 m/s2
).NOTE: Acceleration when cornering is limited.
- The LDM can only conditionally compensate for high speed situations. (Safety concept, i.e. interference from the next lane or fast approach to a truck)
If the deceleration induced by the cruise control is not sufficient, the driver will have to intervene directly.
- The timed separation from a vehicle driving ahead is no less than 1.5 second. In certain conditions (e.g. when a vehicle cuts in a short distance ahead), this timed separation may briefly be less than 1.5 second.
If the deceleration induced by the cruise control is not sufficient, the driver will have to intervene directly.
- If the ACC sensor is blinded, the Active Cruise Control option shuts down. (Blinding, e.g. due to extremely heavy snowfall, through a layer of ice on the sensor or through dirt)
Cruise control can be reactivated after the ACC sensor has been cleaned.
- System remains activated during a gearshift.
Only if the clutch is deactivated for more than approx. 4 to 6 seconds, does the cruise control shut down. (If no gearshift or change in engine speed is made within 5 seconds of such a signal, cruise control will be deactivated.)
