System limitations
General information
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
The radar sensor has limits that the driver
must know to be able to use ACC properly .
The adaptive cruise control works within lim-
its that are also related to radar sensor range
and sight distance . In some situations ACC
may react unusually or late from the driver's
point of view. Therefore, always be attent ive
to what is happening around you and always
be ready to intervene, if necessary:
-when driving around curves ¢ page 125
- when vehicles up front are not in line with
your vehicle ¢ page 126
- when other vehicles are changing lanes
i=>page 126
- when other vehicles are difficult to detect
i=>page 126
- when vehicles up ahead are not moving or
obstacles are in your travel lane i=>page 126
A WARNING
The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Moving vehicles up ahead may not be
prompt ly detected or may not be detected
at all.
- Always pay careful att ention to the traf-
fic situation and be ready to intervene

When driving around curves
Applies to vehicles: wit h adaptive cruise control
Fig. 139 Vehicle enter ing a curve
Fig. 140 Vehicle leaving a curve
Entering a curve
When entering a curve, the adaptive cruise
control may react to a vehicle in the next lane
and apply the brakes in your vehicle
¢ fig . 139. The braking action can be overrid·
den by depressing the accelerator pedal.
Leaving a curve
At the end of very long curves, ACC's predic-
tive lane reading can cause ACC to react to an-
other vehicle in the next lane and apply the
brakes on your vehicle ¢ fig . 140. The braking
action can be overr idden by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
