2023 Land Rover Discovery Sports Adaptive Cruise Control

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using adaptive cruise control or any of its features. Failure to use adaptive cruise control or any of its features safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

The driver should remain alert and intervene, if necessary, when adaptive cruise control is in operation.

The adaptive cruise control system may operate unexpectedly in certain conditions. For example:

When driving on a different line to the vehicle in front.

When a vehicle edges into the same lane as the vehicle being driven. The vehicle is only detected once it has moved fully into the same lane.

When entering or exiting a bend. Vehicles in front may not be detected.

When moving around a stationary vehicle. The detection beam may become uncertain as to which vehicle should be followed.

When the vehicle in front turns out of the same lane as the vehicle being driven. The detection beam may become uncertain as to which vehicle should be followed.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL OVERVIEW

Adaptive cruise control allows the driver to set a cruising speed for the vehicle. The vehicle’s speed is automatically reduced if a slower moving vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The system then maintains a constant gap to the vehicle ahead. If the system detects that the slower moving vehicle is no longer present, it automatically raises the vehicle’s speed back to the set speed. In some scenarios, adaptive cruise control also brings the vehicle to a standstill, if required.

Adaptive cruise control comprises a number of different sub-features in order to operate effectively, including:

• Follow mode. See FOLLOW MODE.
• Queue assist. See QUEUE ASSIST.

Push the LIM switch (4) on the steering wheel controls to toggle between speed limiter and adaptive cruise control functions.

The instrument panel displays a message if a fault occurs in the adaptive cruise control system, or in any of its sub-features. If this occurs, adaptive cruise control does not operate. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer at the earliest opportunity.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

When adaptive cruise control is operating, it monitors the area in front of the vehicle to identify any vehicles which are in its path. The vehicle’s cruising speed is controlled accordingly. See FOLLOW MODE.

Adaptive cruise control may also react to stationary vehicles that it previously recognized as traveling in the same direction. See QUEUE ASSIST.

1. Speed control rocker switch:

   Roll the rocker switch upwards to select SET+.

   Roll the rocker switch downwards to select SET-.

   Push the speed control rocker switch inwards to select RES (resume).

2. CAN: Cancels the cruise control.
3. LIM: Switches between speed limiter and cruise control. See SPEED LIMITER.
4. Adaptive cruise control: reduce gap control.
5. Adaptive cruise control: increase gap control.

Roll the set rocker switch (1) upwards to set a desired cruising speed. The vehicle’s cruising speed is set at the speed it was traveling when the switch was pressed. Use the gap control switches (4) and (5) to adjust the set gap between the vehicle in front when follow mode is engaged. See FOLLOW MODE.

The instrument panel displays a green information lamp to inform the driver that adaptive cruise control is engaged.

The steering wheel icon also illuminates green when adaptive cruise control is active.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL LIMITATIONS

Clear front bumper/windshield Driver Assistance feature performance limited may be displayed if adaptive cruise control is in standby and an obstruction is detected over a period of time. If the message is displayed, clear any obstruction (e.g. ice/ mud in front of the manufacturer badge or the windshield). Seek retailer/authorized repairer assistance if the message persists. The instrument panel may also display Clear front bumper/windshield Driver Assistance feature performance limited temporarily if the radar sensor or camera’s vision is disrupted for a long period. For example, in poor weather conditions, when traveling through a tunnel, or in complex traffic situations.

Adaptive cruise control does not operate if:

• Neutral (N), Reverse (R) or Park (P) are selected.
• The speed limiter is in operation.

Adaptive cruise control automatically deactivates, but does not clear its memory, when:

• The CANCEL command is requested. See ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) requests a cruise control cancelation.
• The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.
• Any passenger door is opened.
• An off-road terrain response program is selected.

Adaptive cruise control automatically deactivates, and its memory is cleared, when:

• All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) is selected.
• Hill Descent Control (HDC) is selected.
• The ignition is switched off.
• A fault occurs in the adaptive cruise control system.
• The driver’s door is opened.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DRIVER INTERVENTION

The amount of braking applied by the adaptive cruise control system is limited. The system sounds an audible warning and the instrument panel displays a message if the system’s braking limits are reached. The driver should intervene immediately and apply a higher level of braking force using the brake pedal.

Adaptive cruise control cancels when the brake pedal is pressed, or if the vehicle becomes stationary. Press the RES switch on the steering wheel controls to resume adaptive cruise control operation. See ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL.

Pressing the accelerator pedal inhibits adaptive cruise control braking. The follow mode warning lamp extinguishes to confirm the system has been overridden. See FOLLOW MODE (GREEN).

Adaptive cruise control operation resumes when the accelerator pedal is released.

FOLLOW MODE

When adaptive cruise control identifies a vehicle in the lane ahead, it automatically enters follow mode. Adaptive cruise control adjusts the vehicle’s speed by controlling acceleration and braking to maintain a set gap to the vehicle ahead.

The instrument panel displays an information lamp to confirm that follow mode has detected a target vehicle.

1. Follow mode gap setting.
2. Targeted vehicle.

The instrument panel may also display the follow mode gap setting and a representation of the targeted vehicle.

If the turn signals are used, follow mode may reduce the gap to the vehicle ahead in anticipation of a maneuver. If a maneuver is not carried out, follow mode restores the previous gap setting after a few seconds.

The follow mode gap to the vehicle ahead can be adjusted. See Linked procedure not present at the moment.

SWITCHING FOLLOW MODE OFF

Switching follow mode off allows the driver to take control of the vehicle’s speed. When follow mode is switched off, the adaptive cruise control system does not provide any vehicle braking. Vehicle braking must be applied by the driver.

To switch follow mode off, press and hold the gap reduce button (4). The cruise control icon illuminates to confirm the feature has been switched off.

To switch follow mode back on, press and release the gap increase button (5) button. If adaptive cruise control is active and tracking a vehicle, the follow mode off white warning lamp extinguishes. The adaptive cruise control icon illuminates in gray (standby) or green (active) to confirm that the feature has been switched back on. The previous follow mode gap setting is resumed.

CHANGING THE FOLLOW MODE GAP

Follow mode has four different gap settings. Gap 3 is the default gap setting when the vehicle is switched on.

To decrease the follow mode gap, press the follow mode gap decrease button (4) on the steering wheel. To increase the follow mode gap, press the follow mode gap increase button (5) on the steering wheel.

The instrument panel displays a vehicle image with a number of bars when they follow mode gap is adjusted. The number of bars displayed in front of the vehicle image reflects the follow mode gap setting.

FOLLOW MODE LIMITATIONS

Follow mode maintains a constant gap to the vehicle ahead until:

• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the adaptive cruise control set speed. If this occurs, the vehicle stops accelerating when the set speed is reached.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of the lane or out of view. If this occurs, the vehicle accelerates to the adaptive cruise control set speed.

QUEUE ASSIST

Queue assist enhances the adaptive cruise control follow mode feature. See FOLLOW MODE.

Queue assist operates at lower speeds than follow mode, allowing the feature to be used in slow-moving lines of traffic.

When the targeted vehicle slows to a standstill, queue assist brings the vehicle to a standstill. When the targeted vehicle moves off, briefly press the accelerator pedal, if safe to do so. Queue assist now maintains a constant gap to the vehicle ahead.

If the vehicle is stationary, queue assist also applies the Electric Parking Brake (EPB), including when:

• Adaptive cruise control is canceled by the driver.
• The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.
• The driver’s door is opened.

Adaptive cruise control deactivates when the EPB is applied.
