General information and system limitations
The front of the radar (1, Fig 117) must not be
covered with stickers, painted or obstructed in any
way as this could prevent the radar from working
properly. It is advisable to always check that the radar
field of view is clear before moving The same
applies to any modification to the front of the
motorcycle.
The radar has a limited field of view as well as
technological limitations that may not allow
detection of vehicles ahead of the motorcycle. In
general, in some scenarios, the Adaptive Cruise
Control function may respond in a way
from what the rider would expect. By way of
example, but not of limitation, following is a list of
some of the system limits:
- the system is not able to detect stationary
vehicles, but can only detect moving ones (see
paragraph "stationary vehicles");
- the system is not always able to detect vehicles
ahead of the motorcycle if the speed
between the motorcycle and these vehicles is
too high;
- the system has a reduced ability to detect
vehicles close to the motorcycle, on the side or
entering the lane. A vehicle that is entering the
lane in front of the motorcycle can only be
recognised by the system if it is in the radar field
of view and is classified as a target vehicle by the
same. In similar cases, it may happen that the
system does not react as expected (e.g., braking
abruptly, braking late or not slowing down at all);
- the Adaptive Cruise Control system may detect
late or not detect objects whose shapes cannot
correctly be identified at all by the ACC, such as
