Danger.
AEBS may not always detect vehicles in front
unequivocally at entry sliproads or where other vehicles
are driving on a different line or cut in. The distance
sensor may react too late to vehicles that are driving on a
different line or that suddenly cut in. It may be necessary
to brake the bus using the service brake in order to
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle that is deriving
on a different line or to ease back from a vehicle that
suddenly cuts in. For these reasons, pay even closer
attention to traffic conditions at entry sliproads or where
other vehicles are driving on a different line or are driving
parked on the hard shoulder.
Vehicles cutting in
Danger.
Vehicles that cut into your lane without maintaining a
safe distance will not be detected by AEBS until they
have encroached into the detection range of the sensor.
There is not enough of a gap between the bus and the
vehicle that is cutting in. You must be prepared to brake
the bus using the service brake in order to ease back from
the vehicle that is cutting in.
Vehicles turning off
Danger.
At intersections, entry sliproads and exit sliproads,
AEBS may not always detect vehicles in front
unequivocally. For example, you own vehicle may
issue warnings in response to vehicles turning off and
braking could be initiated unnecessarily or too late.
For these reasons, pay even closer attention to traffic
conditions at inter-sections, entry sliproads and exit
sliproads.
Overtaking
Danger.
A distance warning could be issued if you begin to
overtake but approach the vehicles in front whilst still
in the same lane. Your vehicle could be braked
automatically in order to increase the distance to the
vehicle in front. For this reason, be sure to change
lane fully before increasing speed to overtake the
vehicle in front.
