Vehicles pulling out
A vehicle driving ahead of you is only detec-
ted when it is fully in your driving path.
If another vehicle suddenly pulls out in
front of you, the system might not be able
to re-establish the selected distance of its
own accord. In some circumstances, it may
also not be possible to restore the selected
distance if you are driving significantly
faster than vehicles in front, for example
when rapidly approaching a lorry. If a vehi-
cle is clearly detected in front of you, the
system prompts you to intervene by brak-
ing, and if necessary by taking evasive ac-
tion.
With the Stop&Go function and
Steptronic transmission: driving off
The vehicle cannot drive off automatically
in the following situations, for example:
–
On steep upward gradients.
–
Before bumps or rises in the road.
–
When towing a heavy trailer.
In such cases, press accelerator pedal.
