The system does not decelerate in the following
situations:

users.

lights.

Merging vehicles
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly merges
into your lane, the system may not be able to au‐
tomatically restore the selected distance. It may
not be possible to restore the selected distance
in certain situations, including if you are driving
significantly faster than vehicles driving ahead of
you, for instance when rapidly approaching a
truck. When a vehicle driving ahead of you is reli‐
ably detected, the system requests that the
driver intervene by braking and carrying out eva‐
sive maneuvers, if needed.
