Detection issues can occur:
• With vehicles that edge into your lane
that can only be detected once they
have moved fully into your lane (A).
Motorcyclists may be detected late, or
not at all. (B)

In these cases the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and
intervene if necessary.
