• On roads with loose gravel.
•
Vehicles with no function to avoid overtaking
on the right: On roads with several lanes, when
other vehicles are driving more slowly in the
overtaking lane.
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 ››› Fig. 131 .
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. 131 .
•
Vehicles that move into your lane, a short
distance from your vehicle ››› Fig. 132 .
•
Vehicles with loads or accessories that pro-
trude 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. There-
fore it does not detect:
•
People
•
Animals
•
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direction
or crossing the road.
•
Other stationary obstacles
The ACC may not react to stationary vehicles.
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 ››› Fig. 132
.
WARNING
Using the ACC in the above situations can
cause serious accidents and injuries, and you
could break the law.
