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.
