Overtaking
Danger.
A distance warning could be issued if
you begin to overtake but approach the
vehicle in front whilst still in the same
lane. Your vehicle could be braked auto-
matically in order to increase the distance
to the vehicle in front. For this reason,
be sure to change lane fully before in-
creasing speed to overtake the vehicle in
front.

Snaking roads
Danger.
On snaking roads, distance cruise control
and Active Brake Assist may not always
detect vehicles in front unequivocally. The
distance sensor may not detect that the
vehicle in front is in the same lane as
you. You must be prepared where neces-
sary to brake the bus using the service
brake in order to increase the distance
from the vehicle ahead. For these reas-
ons, pay even closer attention to traffic
conditions on snaking roads.
