ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (8/8)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.
– The radar-camera should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a small size (motor-
bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entered the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may
then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the radar-camera may temporarily no longer detect the vehicle in front, and this may lead
to acceleration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take
place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav-
elling too close to the lane of the other.
– A slower vehicle with a wide difference in speed may not be taken into account by the system.
– The system is deactivated below around 31 mph (50 km/h). Drivers must react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
System disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.) ;
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between objects;
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.).
Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.
