motorcycles or vehicles with high ground
clearance (e.g. trucks), with a hanging or
projecting load, with a small cross-section or
having unconventional shapes. In these cases,
the system may fail to react or react incorrectly;
- the system is unable to detect pedestrians,
bicycles and animals. The system may also fail to
detect pedestrians or cyclists or riders of
scooters or pedestrians who are pushing their
bicycles, scooters or whatever on foot;
- The system may react (e.g., by braking) due to
unexpected detection of small moving objects
other than a vehicle such as, for example, balls,
cans or metal containers, bags of chips,
cardboard boxes;
- the system does not detect vehicles travelling in
the opposite direction to the motorcycle
direction of travel or crosswise to the motorcycle
direction of travel;
- the system may react to vehicles travelling in the
lane adjacent to the motorcycle lane, for
instance it may get the vehicle brake
unexpectedly; this may happen when travelling
close to the lane lines;
- the Adaptive Cruise Control system may fail to
react or react incorrectly in the presence of
electromagnetic or reflections of
the surrounding environment (e.g. in tunnels, in
the presence of guardrails, heavy rain, ice, hail or
fog);
- the Adaptive Cruise Control system may fail to
react or react incorrectly in the presence of
bumps, jerks or sudden movements repeated
over time that could cause the radar to get
misaligned compared to its original position.
Such misalignment, if excessive, will prevent
system proper operation or reduce its
(in such cases it is necessary to
have the alignment checked by an authorised
dealer). In the event of an accident or if the
motorcycle falls down, it is advisable to have the
radar and its positioning inspected by a Ducati
authorised dealer.
- the Adaptive Cruise Control system may fail to
react or react incorrectly in
environmental and/or situations, in which
radar detection may be disturbed or delayed:
this may result in incorrect calculation of the
distance between vehicles and, consequently,
result in incorrect Adaptive Cruise Control
system behaviour. In this case, it must be the
