System limits
Detection range
The system's detection capability and automatic
braking capacity are limited.
For example two-wheeled vehicles may not be
detected.
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate in the following
situations:
▷ For pedestrians or similarly slow road users.
▷ For red traffic lights.
▷ For crossing traffic.
▷ For oncoming vehicles.
Vehicles pulling out
A vehicle driving ahead of you is only detected
when it is fully in your driving path.
If another vehicle suddenly pulls out in front of
you, the system might not be able to restore the
selected distance automatically. In some circum‐
stances, it may also not be possible to restore
the selected distance if you are driving signifi‐
cantly faster than vehicles in front, for example
when rapidly approaching a lorry. If a vehicle is
clearly detected in front of you, the system
prompts you to intervene by braking, and if nec‐
essary by taking evasive action.
Cornering
If the desired speed is too high for cornering, it
will be reduced slightly in the bend. However, the
system does not detect bends in advance. For
this reason, moderate your speed when corner‐
ing.
The system has a limited detection range. Situa‐
tions can arise on tight bends where a vehicle
driving in front will not be detected or will be de‐
tected very late.
When your vehicle is approaching a bend, the
angle of the bend may cause the system to re‐
spond temporarily to vehicles in the other lane. If
the system responds by decelerating the vehicle,
you may compensate for this by accelerating
briefly. When the accelerator pedal is released
again, the system will resume control of the vehi‐
cle's speed.
