System limits
Speed range
Best results are achieved when using the sys-
tem on well-developed roads and highways.
The desired speed can be selected between
20 mph/30 km/h and 110 mph/180 km/h.
The system can also be activated when station-
ary.
Comply with the legal speed limit in every situa-
tion when using the system.
Detection range
The detection capacity of the system and the
automatic braking capacity are limited. For
instance, two-wheeled vehicles driving ahead
of you might not be detected.
Because of the limitations to the detec-
tion capacity of the system, you should be
alert at all times so that you can intervene
actively, if necessary; otherwise, there is the
danger of an accident occurring.<
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate when a sta-
tionary obstacle is located in the same lane, e.g.
a vehicle at a red traffic light or at the end of a
traffic congestion.
The system also does not respond to:
>Pedestrians or similarly slow road users.
>Red traffic lights.
>Stationary objects.
>Cross traffic.
>Approaching traffic.
A warning might not be issued when
approaching a stationary or very slow-
moving obstacle. Take action yourself, other-
wise there is a risk of an accident.<
