thats to switch on the Alert part of ACC without cruise control being on I believe



yes, its called "forward alert" and you can set the sensitivity in the same way you set the ACC gap distance. TBH i'm not sure how useful it is...

Well it could have been useful in the thick freezing fog we had yesterday, could help in giving an early warning that something is ahead. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I would think freezing fog would have the same effect on the sensor as snow.................. in wet fog though I have had no problems with it - in fact it detected an unlit tractor and trailer doing 5mph that I couldn't see in the fog when I was doing 30 and pulled my speed down until the computer couldn't handle the low speed, by which time I had over-ridden it anyway. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
