Swerving vehicles
Cornering
A vehicle driving in front of you is not detected
until it is completely within the same lane as
your vehicle.
If the desired speed is too high for a curve, the
speed is reduced slightly in the curve, although
curves cannot be anticipated in advance.
Therefore, drive into a curve at an appropriate
speed.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly
swerves into your lane, the system may
not be able to automatically restore the
In tight curves, situations may result due to the
restricted detection range of the system in
which a vehicle driving ahead of you may not be
detected at all, or not until after a considerable
delay.
selected distance. This also applies to major
speed differences to vehicles driving ahead of
you, e.g. when rapidly approaching a truck.
When a vehicle driving ahead of you is reliably
detected, the system requests that the driver
intervene by braking and carrying out evasive
maneuvers, if necessary. Take action yourself,
otherwise there is a risk of an accident.<
Unexpected lane change
When approaching a curve, the system may
react briefly to the vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. Any deceleration of the
vehicle by the system can be compensated for
by briefly accelerating. After the accelerator
pedal is released, the system becomes active
again and independently controls the speed.
If a vehicle ahead of you unexpectedly moves
into another lane from behind a stopped vehi-
cle, you yourself must react, as the system does
not react to stopped vehicles.
Driving away
In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive
away automatically, e.g. on steep inclines, with
a heavy trailer or behind bumps in the road.
Driver interventions and your
responsibility
Anytime the driver presses down on the
accelerator pedal, any braking action by
