CONTROLS
Detection range
The system's detection capability and automatic
braking capacity are limited.
For example two-wheeled vehicles may not be
detected.
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate in the following
situations:
▷
For pedestrians or similarly slow road users.
▷
Depending on the equipment, at red traffic
lights.
▷
For crossing traffic.
▷
For oncoming vehicles.
Vehicles cutting in
If another vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you,
the system might not be able to restore the se‐
lected distance automatically. In some circum‐
stances, it may also not be possible to restore
the selected distance if you are driving signifi‐
cantly faster than vehicles in front, for example
when rapidly approaching a lorry. If a vehicle is
clearly detected in front of you, the system

prompts you to intervene by braking, and if nec‐
essary by taking avoidance manoeuvre.
Cornering
If the set speed is too high for cornering, it will be
reduced slightly in the bend. However, since
bends may not be anticipated in advance, mod‐
erate your speed when cornering.
The system has a restricted detection range. Sit‐
uations can arise on tight bends where a vehicle
driving in front will not be detected or will be de‐
tected very late.
When your vehicle is approaching a bend, the
curvature may cause the system to respond
temporarily to vehicles in the other lane. If the
system responds by decelerating the vehicle,
you may compensate for this by accelerating
briefly. When the accelerator pedal is released
again, the system will resume control of the vehi‐
cle's speed.
Driving off
The vehicle cannot drive off automatically in
some situations, for example:
