and traffic lights, as route-based speed adaptation
does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
Speed adaptation is canceled in the following
cases:
R
If the turn signal indicator is switched off
before the route event and it is therefore
assumed that the route event is not relevant
to the driver.
R
If the driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
System limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right
of way regulations into account. The driver is
responsible for complying with road traffic regula-
tions and driving at a suitable speed.
In difficult conditions, the speed selection made
by the system may not always be suitable. This
applies to the following situations, forexample:
R
The road's course is not clearly visible.
R
Road narrowing.
R
Varying maximum permissible speeds in indi-
vidual lanes, for example at toll stations.
R
Wet road surfaces, snow or ice.
In these situations the driver must intervene
accordingly.
