82 OPERATION
WARNING
ACC cannot detect all ob-
jects and traffic situations or
interpret them correctly
Risk of accident
ACC might not be able to
detect certain objects or
complex traffic situations
correctly, with the result that
it does not issue a warning
or slow the vehicle appro-
priately, or that it issues an
incorrect warning and initi-
ates inappropriate slowing
of the vehicle. You have to
apply the brakes yourself, for
example when you come on
the scene of an accident or
approach a vehicle stopped
at traffic lights or in conges-
tion.
Object detection can be re-
stricted, for example in in-
tersecting traffic, on twisting
or hilly roads and when you
ride offset from the vehicle
ahead in your lane or if you
weave from side to side in
the lane.
Keep the traffic conditions
under observation at all
times and intervene actively
whenever the situation re-
quires.
WARNING
ACC cannot compensate for
excessive speed differences
Risk of accident
ACC cannot perform emer-
gency braking. Retardation
and the rate at which retard-
ation increases are limited.
High speed differences, for
example when you come
up fast behind a truck or
when another vehicle cuts
into your lane ahead of you,
cannot be compensated for
by the system.
When the adjustment
range of ACC is exceeded,
object detection might be
delayed on account of the
high speed. Consequently,
increased rider caution is
required in these circum-
stances.
Keep the traffic conditions
under observation at all
times and intervene actively
whenever the situation re-
quires.
