Change of target with cruise control functions

The driver supports of adaptive cruise control* and Pilot Assist*, in combination with automatic transmission, have a change of target function at certain speeds.

Change of target

P5-1507-Adaptie Cruise Control, change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.

When the driver supports are following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle – the driver supports will slow down for the stationary vehicle.

 Warning

When the driver supports are following another vehicle at speeds in excess of approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the driver supports will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.

  • The driver must then intervene him/herself and brake.

Automatic standby mode with change of target

The driver supports are disengaged and set in standby mode:
  • when the speed is below 5 km/h ((3 mph)) and the driver supports are uncertain whether the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, such as a speed bump.
  • when the speed is below 5 km/h ((3 mph)) and the vehicle ahead turns off so that the driver supports no longer have a vehicle to follow.
