Opel Corsa: Adaptive cruise control / Driver's attention
- Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
- Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
- Do not use the adaptive cruise
control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
- Do not use the system when the
spare wheel is in use.
Press , the adaptive cruise
control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise

Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking
and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle...
Other information:
The adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to the conventional
cruise control with the additional
feature of maintaining a certain
following distance to the vehicle
ahead.
It uses radar and camera sensors to
detect the vehicles ahead. If no
vehicle is detected in the driving path,
the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control...
