stance when rapidly approaching a truck.
When a vehicle has been detected ahead
of you, the system requests that the driver
intervene by braking and making 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 vehicle 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
decelerates you may compensate for it by
briefly accelerating. After releasing the ac-
celerator pedal the system is reactivated
and controls speed independently.
Driving off
Your vehicle cannot drive off automatically
using Distance Control in the following sit-
uations, for example:
– On steep uphill grades.
– In front of bumps in the road.
In these cases, step on the accelerator
pedal.
Weather
Under unfavorable weather or light condi-
tions, Distance Control may be limited in
the following ways:
– Poorer vehicle detection.
– Short-term interruptions for vehicles
that are already recognized.
Drive attentively, and react to the current
surrounding traffic situation. If necessary,
intervene actively, for instance by braking,
steering or making an evasive maneuver.
Drive power
Depending on the drive mode or drive
power, the vehicle may exceed or drop be-
low the set desired speed in some situa-
tions, e.g., when driving uphill or downhill.
Assisted Driving Mode
Principle
Assisted Driving Mode enhances Distance
Control with Steering Assistance and lane
keeping. The system assists the driver in
keeping the vehicle within the lane. For
this purpose, the system executes support-
ing steering movements, for instance when
cornering.
Assisted Driving Mode is operated using
the buttons on the steering wheel.
