Deceleration
The system does not decelerate in the fol-
lowing situations:
– For pedestrians, cyclists or similarly
slow-moving road users.
– For red traffic lights.
– For cross traffic.
– For oncoming traffic.
– Unlit vehicles or vehicles with faulty
lighting at night.
Merging vehicles
A vehicle driving in front of you is not de-
tected until it is completely within the same
lane as your vehicle.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly
merges into your lane, the system may not
be able to automatically 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 reliably detected, the system requests
that the driver intervene by braking and
carrying out evasive maneuvers, if needed.
With Stop&Go function for Steptronic
transmission: driving off
In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive
off automatically; for example:
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A541A8 - II/22
Driving comfort
– On steep uphill grades.
– In front of bumps in the road.
In these cases, press on the accelerator
pedal.
Cornering
When the set speed is too high for a curve,
the speed is reduced slightly. Because
curves may not be anticipated in advance,
drive into a curve at an appropriate speed.
The system has a limited detection range.
Situations can arise in tight curves where a
vehicle driving ahead will not be detected
or will be detected very late.
When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. If the system de-
celerates you may compensate it by briefly
accelerating. After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated and controls
speed independently.
