Driving systems
Special driving situations with distance cruise control/Active Brake Assist
Danger.
For these reasons, pay even closer atten-
tion to traffic conditions when cornering
and when approaching standing objects
because no automatic braking will be initi-
ated.

Vehicles on entry and exit sliproads or
intersections
Danger.
Distance cruise control and Active Brake
Assist may not always detect vehicles
in front at intersections, entry sliproads
or exit sliproads unequivocally. Where
vehicles join your lane, warnings may not
be issued at all, and braking may not be
initiated, because the target could not
be acquired in time even though it may
have already encroached into your lane.
Where vehicles leave your lane, a delayed
visual loss of the target could result in
brief warnings and braking being initiated
even if the vehicle has already arrived in
the next lane.

Warning in response to vehicles pulling
out of your lane
Danger.
In instances where the vehicle in front
pulls out of your lane, it is common for
the speed of this vehicle to decrease be-
fore 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 ART warning. Since ART re-
sponds very rapidly and promptly by de-
celerating your own vehicle, the situation
is alleviated in time for intervention by
