Cornering
When the set speed is too high for a
curve, the speed is reduced slightly. Be-
cause curves may not be anticipated in ad-
vance, drive into a curve at an appropriate
speed.
The system 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.
Weather
The following restrictions can occur under
unfavorable weather or light conditions:
– Poorer vehicle detection.
– Short-term interruptions for vehicles
that are already recognized.
Examples of unfavorable weather or light
conditions:
– Wet conditions.
– Snowfall.
– Slush.
– Fog.
– Glare.
Drive attentively, and react to the current
surrounding traffic situation. If necessary,
intervene actively, for instance by braking,
steering or evading.
Engine power
The desired speed may not be maintained
on uphill grades if engine power is insuffi-
cient.
Malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed if the
system has malfunctioned or was automati-
cally deactivated.
The system may be limited in the following
situations:
– When an object was not correctly de-
tected.
– In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snow-
fall.
– On tight curves.
– If the camera field of view or the wind-
shield is dirty or covered.
– When driving toward bright lights.
– Up to 20 seconds after the start of the
engine, via the Start/Stop button.
– During calibration of the camera imme-
diately after vehicle delivery.
