and traffic lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
Speed adaptation is canceled in the following
cases:
If the turn signal indicator is switched off
R
before the route event and it is therefore
assumed that the route event is not relevant
to the driver.
If the driver depresses the accelerator or
R
brake pedal during the process.
System limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road traffic regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.
In difficult conditions, the speed selection made
by the system may not always be suitable. This
applies to the following situations, forexample:
The road's course is not clearly visible.
R
Road narrowing.
R
Varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
R
vidual lanes, for example at toll stations.
Wet road surfaces, snow or ice.
R
If transport equipment, for example a trailer or
R
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established.
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.
& WARNING Risk of accident in spite of
route-based speed adaptation
Route-based speed adaptation can malfunc-
tion or be temporarily unavailable in the fol-
lowing situations:
If the driver does not follow the calculated
R
route
If map data is not up-to-date or available
R
In the event of roadworks
R
In bad weather or road conditions
R
If the accelerator pedal is depressed
R
In the event of electronically displayed
R
speed limitations
Adapt the speed to the traffic situation.
