into a curve at an appropriate speed.
In tight curves the system offers only restricted
detection where a vehicle ahead of you might be detected late or not at all.

briefly report vehicles in the next lane due to
the bend of the curve. If the system decelerates
you may compensate it by briefly accelerating. After releasing the gas pedal the system is reac~tivated and controls speed independently.

conditions, e. g. if there is rain, snowfall, slush, fog or glare, this may result in poorer recogni~tion of vehicles as well as short-term interrup~tions for vehicles that are already detected.Drive attentively, and react to the current trafficsituation.
