Switching target vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control
At certain speeds, models with automatic transmissions and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC1) can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
When Adaptive Cruise Control is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and switches targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, Adaptive Cruise Control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
Warning
When Adaptive Cruise Control follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary one – Adaptive Cruise Control will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.
- The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Adaptive Cruise Control will be disabled and go into standby mode:
- if your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Adaptive Cruise Control cannot determine if the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
- if your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that Adaptive Cruise Control no longer has a vehicle to follow.
