Driving systems
Special driving situations with distance cruise control/Active Brake Assist
Danger.
Distance cruise control and Active Brake
Assist may not always detect vehicles in
front unequivocally at entry sliproads or
where other vehicles are driving on a dif-
ferent 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 driving 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 driv-
ing or 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 distance cruise control 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.
M54_00-1008-01
Vehicles turning off
Danger.
At intersections, entry sliproads and exit
sliproads, distance cruise control and Act-
ive Brake Assist may not always detect
vehicles in front unequivocally. For ex-
ample, your own vehicle may issue warn-
ings in response to vehicles turning off
and braking could be initiated unneces-
sarily or too late. For these reasons, pay
even closer attention to traffic conditions
at intersections, entry sliproads and exit
sliproads.
