Driving
On r
oads with embedded metal objects
such as train or tram tracks.
On roads with loose gravel.
Pay special attention when using ACC in the
following situations:
On curves
The ACC may not detect the vehicle in front
on a curve, or may regulate the distance from
vehicles in other lanes
Fig. 171 .
Vehicles outside the sensor zone
In the following situations the ACC may not
react, or may react slowly or inappropriately:
Vehicles that are not aligned while driving
or that are outside the sensor's detection
area, such as motorcycles
Fig. 171
Vehicles that move into your lane, a short
distance from your vehicle
Fig. 172 .
Vehicles with loads or accessories that pro-
trude from the sides, rear or roof.
Objects that are not detected
The ACC function only detects and reacts to
vehicles moving in the same direction. There-
fore it does not detect:
People
Animals
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direction
or crossing the road.
Other stationary obstacles
The ACC does not react to stationary vehi-
cles. If, for example, a vehicle detected by the
ACC turns or moves over and there is a sta-
tionary vehicle in front of it, the ACC will not
react to the second vehicle
Fig. 172 .
