216 Driving and operating
● The adaptive cruise control only
considers traffic driving in the
same direction.
● The adaptive cruise control does
not consider pedestrians, cyclists
and animals for braking and
driving off.
● The adaptive cruise control does
not consider stationary vehicles.
As the radar's field of detection is
quite narrow, it is possible that the
system may not detect:
● vehicles of reduced width, e.g.
motorcycles, scooters
● vehicles not running in the middle
of the lane
● vehicles entering a corner
● vehicles suddenly pulling out or
in
● vehicles ahead braking
excessively
Deactivate the system in the following
situations:
● when driving in a tight bend
● when approaching a roundabout
● when following a vehicle not
detected by system, e.g., a
motorcycle
● when the vehicle ahead sharply
decelerates
● when a vehicle cuts in sharply
Hill considerations
9 Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to
brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
