Danger.
In instances where the vehicle in front pulls out of your
lane, it is common for the speed of this vehicle to
decrease before it has fully arrived in the adjacent lane.
On the one hand, the distance to this vehicle decreases;
on the other hand, the speed differential increases. This
may result in an AEBS warning. Vehicles turning off or
pulling out of your lane when cornering may amplify
this effect further still. Through bends, including
approach and exit, the vehicles that pulled out of your
lane may continue to be recorded by the sensor (albeit
possibly for only a brief period) even though it has
already arrived in the adjacent lane.
Warning in response to vehicles stopping
Danger.
In isolated cases, AEBS distance warnings may be
issued while the vehicle in front is coming to a halt, e.g.
If the vehicle in front brakes erratically or both suddenly
and powerfully with the effect that the distance to this
vehicle (B) decreases temporarily. Often, this behaviour
Cannot be perceived by the driver (e.g. Stopping at
traffic lights or at the back end of a traffic jam).
Danger.
Unfavourable weather conditions, such as snow, slush,
heavy rain or heavy soiling of the windscreen, may
impair correct functioning of the lane departure
warning system.
Danger.
Note that the function of the lane assistant warning
system is limited: if the lane markings are difficult to
detect (e.g. If the road is covered by snow, sand or
stones), if there are shadows or if the markings on the
road are complex or difficult to distinguish (e.g. On
construction sites) or on tight bends. In these
conditions, the lane departure warning system cannot
give a warning as intended if the bus drives on or over
the road lane markings. Make sure that the windscreen
is always kept clean in the area of the camera. You
should therefore switch on the windscreen wiper, for
example, to keep the windscreen in the area of the
camera free from dirt.
Danger.
Even when enabled, the lane departure warning system
does not issue warnings at speeds below 60km/h. When
the turn signals are switched on or if the bus is being
decelerated. In these situations, there will be no
warning from the lane departure warning system if the
bus is driven on or over the road lane markings. When
driving, you are therefore responsible for keeping the
bus in the correct lane and in the correct direction at all
times.
