Detection range
The vehicle sensors detect the traffic situation
in their detection range.
The sensor detection capability and automatic
braking power are limited.
For instance, two-wheeled vehicles may not be
detected.
Deceleration
Distance Control does not decelerate in the fol-
lowing situations:
▷ For pedestrians or similarly slow-moving
road users.
▷ For cross traffic.
▷ For oncoming traffic.
Merging vehicles
Distance Control may not be able automati-
cally restore your chosen distance if a preced-
ing vehicle suddenly cuts into your lane. It
may not be possible to restore the selected
distance in certain situations, including if you
are driving significantly faster than vehicles
driving ahead of you, for instance when rapidly
approaching a truck. When a vehicle has been
detected ahead of you, the system requests
that the driver intervene by braking and mak-
ing an evasive maneuver, if needed.
Cornering
When Distance Control is on, if your set speed
is too high for a bend, your vehicle will be
slowed slightly in the bend. Because curves
may not be anticipated in advance, drive into a
curve at an appropriate speed.
Distance Control has a limited detection range.
Situations can arise in tight curves where a ve-
hicle driving ahead will not be detected or will
be detected very late.
When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. If the system decel-
erates you may compensate for it by briefly
accelerating. After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated and controls
speed independently.
