Driving into a bend
When you are driving into a bend, the ACC system may react to a
vehicle travelling in the other lane and therefore brake the vehicle
⇒ page 140, fig. 149. You can override the braking effect by pressing
the accelerator.
Driving out of a bend
When you are driving out of a long bend, the ACC system may - in
the course of its calculation of the lane ahead - react to a vehicle
travelling in the other lane and therefore brake the vehicle
⇒ page 140, fig. 150. You can override the braking effect by pressing
the accelerator.
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Vehicles in front travelling out of line
Vehicles in front which are not in line with your vehicle cannot be
detected by the ACC system until they are within the range of the
sensor.
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles which are very close to you when they move onto your lane
cannot be detected by the radar sensor until they move into its
range.
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Not clearly discernible vehicles
Vehicles that are not clearly discernible, e.g. a motorcycle travelling
in front of you and vehicles with a large amount of ground clearance
or protruding freight, are often identified late or may not be
detected at all.
