Objects that cannot be detected
Adaptive Cruise Control only detects vehi-
cles moving in the same direction as your
vehicle. It cannot detect:
— Persons
— Animals
— Crossing or oncoming vehicles
— Other stationary obstacles
Stationary vehicles
Fig. 110 Stationary vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control reacts to stationary
vehicles to a limited extent up to a speed of
around 60 km/h (approx. 37 mph), provi-
ded a stationary vehicle is detected as such
and your own vehicle can be comfortably
braked behind the stationary vehicle within
the system limits of the Adaptive Cruise
Control system. Adaptive Cruise Control
does not perform emergency braking.
The function which enables your vehicle to
react to stationary vehicles comes with
some equipment levels and is not available
in all countries.
Cornering
Fig. 111 Driving through bends.
The radar sensor always scans the area di-
rectly in front of the vehicle. For this reason,
the Adaptive Cruise Control may detect ve-
hicles erroneously or may not detect vehi-
cles ahead when driving around tight bends

tions:

sor range in close proximity to your vehi-
cle, e.g. motorbikes
