System limitations
General information
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Some driving situations which affect the func-
tion of the radar sensor are described below.
When driving, the adaptive cruise control is
governed by physical and system-specified
limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the
ACC system may react unexpectedly or late
from the driver's point of view. Therefore, al-
ways be attentive and intervene, if necessary:
- when driving around curves ¢
page 110
- when vehicles in front are not in line with
your vehicle ¢ page 110
- when other vehicles are changing lanes
r:=>page 111
- when other vehicles are difficult to detect
r:=> page 111.
A WARNING
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced by
rain, snow and heavy spray. This can result
in vehicles driving ahead being inade-
quately detected or, in some circumstan-
ces, not detected at all.
If necessary, take
act ion yourself!
When driving around curves
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Fig. 121 Vehicle entering a curve
Fig. 1 22 Vehicle leaving a curve
Entering a curve
When enter ing a curve, the adaptive cruise
control may react to a vehicle in the next lane
and apply the brakes in your vehicle
r:=> fig. 121. The braking action can be overrid-
den by depressing the accelerator pedal.
Leaving a curve
At the exit from very long curves the pred ic-
t ive lane reading can cause the adaptive cruise
control to react to another vehicle in the next
lane and apply the brakes in your vehicle
r=>fig. 122. The braking action can be overrid-
den by depressing the accelerat or pedal.
, Vehicles offset to one side
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Fig. 123 Vehicle traveling ahead outside the detect ion
range of the radar sensor
Vehicles trave li ng ahead and to one side can-
not be detected by the adaptive cruise contro l
unt il they are within the detect ion range of
the sensor.
