tance.
It
may
not
be
possible
to
restore
the
se#jlected
distance
in
certain
situations,
including
ifyou
are
driving
significantly
faster
than
vehiclesdriving
ahead
of
you,
for
instance
when
rapidly
approaching
a
truck.
When
a
vehicle
driving
ahead
of
you
is
reliably
detected,
the
system
re#j
quests
that
the
driver
intervene
by
braking
and
carrying
out
evasive
maneuvers,
if
needed.
Cornering
When
the
desired
speed
is
too
high
for
a
curve, the
speed
is
reduced
slightly.
Because
curves
may
not
be
anticipated
in
advance,
drive
into
a
curve
at
an
appropriate
speed.
The
system
has
a
limited
detection
range.
Situa#j tions
can
arise
in
tight
curves
where
a
vehicle
driving
ahead
will
not
be
detected
or
will
be
de#j
tected
very
late.
When
you
approach
a
curve
the
system
may
briefly
report
vehicles
in
the
next
lane
due
to
the bend
of
the
curve.
If
the
system
decelerates
youmay
compensate
it
by
briefly
accelerating.
After
releasing
the
accelerator
pedal
the
system
is
re#j
activated
and
controls
speed
independently.
Driving
off
In
some
situations,
the
vehicle
cannot
drive
off automatically;
for
example:'xOn
steep
uphill
grades.'xIn
front
of
bumps
in
the
road.'xWith
a
heavy
trailer.
In
these
cases,
step
on
the
accelerator
pedal.
Weather
The
following
restrictions
can
occur
under
unfav#j orable
weather
or
light
conditions:
'xPoorer
vehicle
recognition.'xShort-term
interruptions
for
vehicles
that
are
already
recognized.
Examples
of
unfavorable
weather
or
light
condi#j tions:
'xWet
conditions.'xSnowfall.'xSlush.'xFog.'xGlare.
Drive
attentively,
and
react
to
the
current
trafficsituation.
If
necessary,
intervene
actively,
for
in#j
stance
by
braking,
steering
or
evading.
Engine
power
The
desired
speed
is
also
maintained
downhill.
The
speed
may
not
be
maintained
on
uphill
grades
if
the
engine
power
is
insufficient.
Depending
on
the
driving
mode,
the
vehicle
may
exceed
or
drop
below
the
set
desired
speed
in
some
situations;
for
instance,
on
downhill
or
up#j
hill
grades.
Malfunction
Radar
sensor The
system
cannot
be
activated
if
the
radar
sen#j
sor
is
not
aligned
correctly.
This
may
be
caused by
damage
incurred,
for
instance
during
parking.

Concept
The

General
information The
system
determines
the
position
of
the

markings
and
the
vehicle
driving

using
five
radar
sensors
and
a
