or careless use of ACC can easily lead to acci- dents and serious injuries. If you do not pay due attention, there is a risk of accidents and seri- ous or even fatal injuries. use the brakes and take control of the vehi- cle as needed to avoid accidents and serious or fatal injuries. ● Adapt your speed and distance from the ve- hicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions. ● Even if the system is functioning properly, the conditions of the vehicle detected by the system may not match the driver's observa- tions. If you do not pay due attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.
● For safety reasons, never use ACC in low visi- bility conditions, on roads with multiple curves, inclines, or slippery surfaces (such as snowy, wet, or flooded roads). ● Never use ACC during off-road driving or on unpaved roads. ACC can only be used on paved roads. Special driving situations Please refer to at the start of the chapter on page 113. ● Depending on vehicle equipment, ACC may not respond to stationary vehicles. ● ACC will not react to persons, animals, or ve- hicles that are crossing laterally or approach- ing the vehicle in the same lane. Overtaking If you indicate left to overtake, ACC will acceler- ate the vehicle and reduce the distance from the vehicle in front.
Your set speed will not be excee- ded. ● If sufficient deceleration is not possible through ACC, the driver shall immediately apply foot brake as required by the system. ● Foot brake should be applied as soon as braking requirement information is displayed on the instrument cluster display. If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front after you have changed lane, ACC will accelerate the vehicle up to the set speed. ● If the system requests the driver to take con- trol of the vehicle and the vehicle continues to move, the driver must apply the foot brake. System limits of ACC ● Always be prepared to take control of the ve- hicle by accelerating or braking yourself.
Please refer to at the start of the chapter on page 113. Never take risks by using the additional con- venience features provided by the adaptive cruise control (ACC). ACC cannot detect all driv- ing situations and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired way. Drivers are responsible for all driving behaviors at all times. WARNING ● Pay attention to changes in road conditions and drive with caution when using the ACC. Failure to do so may lead to accidents and serious or fatal injuries. ● The ACC can only work within its maximum range when the radar sensors detect a vehi- cle in front.
Under special circumstances, the system may not issue a warning or intervene immediately or may issue a warning or inter- vene with a delay. In this case, you should Fig. 94 Driving through bends. Vehicle that is driving outside the sensor range Owner's manual 114
