Vehicle changing lanes.
One vehi-
cle turning and another stationary.
The limits of the ACC system mean that it is
not appropriate in all situations
›››
in In-
troduction on page 228.
CUPRA does not recommend using the
function in the following cases
›››
:
●
Heavy rain, snow or fog.
●
When going through tunnels.
●
In sections with roadworks.
●
On routes with curves, e.g. on mountain
roads.
●
On off-road routes.
●
In covered car parks.
●
On roads with embedded metal objects
such as train or tram tracks.
●
On roads with loose gravel.
Pay special attention when using ACC in the
following situations:
On curves
The ACC may not detect the vehicle in front
on a curve, or may regulate the distance
from vehicles in other lanes

.
Vehicles outside the sensor zone
In the following situations the ACC may not
react, or may react slowly or inappropriately:
●
Vehicles that are not aligned while driving
or that are outside the sensor's detection
area, such as motorcycles
›››
Fig. 164
●
Vehicles that move into your lane, a short
distance from your vehicle
›››

.
●
Vehicles with loads or accessories that
protrude from the sides, rear or roof.
Objects that are not detected
The ACC function only detects and reacts to
vehicles moving in the same direction.
Therefore it does not detect:
●
People
●
Animals
●
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direction
or crossing the road.
●
Other stationary obstacles
The ACC does not react to stationary vehi-
cles. If, for example, a vehicle detected by
the ACC turns or moves over and there is a
stationary vehicle in front of it, the ACC will
not react to the second vehicle

WARNING
Using the ACC in the above situations can
cause serious accidents and injuries, and
you could break the law.
