Objects That Cannot Be Detected; Other Stationary Obstacles; Vehicles Outside The Sensor Range; Switching Acc On And Off - Volkswagen T-Roc Manual

If the radar sensor is exposed to environmental conditions that impair sensor functioning, the
system may detect this only after a certain time. For this reason, possible functional restrictions may
be displayed only after a delay at the start of the journey and when driving ⇒ .

Objects that cannot be detected

Persons.
Animals.
Stationary vehicles.
Crossing or oncoming vehicles.

Other stationary obstacles.

If a stationary vehicle is hidden behind a vehicle that has been detected by the adaptive cruise
control and this vehicle turns off the road or changes lane, the ACC will not react to the stationary
vehicle ⇒ Fig. 120
.
Bends
The radar sensor always measures straight ahead. For this reason, vehicles may be incorrectly
detected or vehicles driving ahead not detected in tight bends ⇒ Fig. 119
.
