Swerving vehicles
When a vehicle from a neighbouring lane
swerves into the lane in front of you, the system
does not detect the car until it is fully in the
same lane.
When a vehicle ahead suddenly swerves
into your lane, the system may not be able
to maintain the selected distance automatically.
The same applies when you are driving signifi-
cantly faster than the vehicle in front of you, e.g.
when you are rapidly approaching a lorry. There
is a risk of collision. Once the system has estab-
lished that a vehicle is indeed in front of you, it
will indicate that you must brake and/or
manoeuvre the vehicle yourself. Take the
appropriate action yourself, as otherwise there
is a risk of accident.

Characteristics in bends
If the desired speed chosen is too high for a
bend, the system reduces the speed while cor-
nering. It cannot, however, detect bends in
advance. Therefore, choose a suitable speed
well before entering a bend.
Due to the radar sensor's limited detection
range, bends may lead to vehicles ahead being
detected only later or not at all.
When approaching a bend, the system may
temporarily react to vehicles in an adjacent lane
because of the curvature of the bend. Should
the system decelerate the vehicle in such an
instance, this can be compensated for by
pressing the accelerator pedal briefly. Once the
accelerator pedal is released, the system is
active again and regulates the car's speed auto-
matically.
Your responsibility
Your actions have priority at all times. When you
press the accelerator pedal while driving with
Active Cruise Control, the automatic braking
function will be temporarily interrupted. Once
you release the accelerator pedal, the desired
speed or the selected distance to the vehicle
ahead is taken into account.
Do not leave your foot on the accelerator
pedal, and make sure that no objects,
such as floor mats, are pressing on the acceler-
ator pedal. Otherwise the system may not be
able to brake the vehicle.
