If the sensor is not aligned properly, e.g. due to

damage, the active cruise control cannot be

activated.

System limitations

As with conventional cruise control sys-

tems, active cruise control in no way

diminishes or substitutes for the driver's own

personal responsibility, alertness and aware-

ness in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise

controlling the vehicle. The driver should

decide when to use the system on the basis of

road, traffic, visibility, and weather conditions.

Active cruise control is intended for use on free-

way-type roadways where traffic is moving rel-

atively smoothly. Do not use this system in city

driving; in complex driving situations; on curvy,

winding roads, slippery roads or roads with

sharp curves such as highway off-ramps; during

inclement weather such as snow, strong rain or

fog; or when entering interchanges, service/

parking areas or toll booths. It is also important

to regulate your vehicle’s speed and distance

setting within applicable legal limits. Always be

ready to take action or apply the brakes if nec-

essary, especially when the system is actively

following a vehicle in front of you.<

Always remember that the range and abil-

ity of the system do have physical limita-

tions. For example, the system may not detect

vehicles driving ahead if they suddenly brake

heavily in stop-and-go traffic during accelera-

tion. The system will not apply the brakes or

slow your vehicle when a very slow-moving

vehicle, stopped vehicle or stationary object is

in the lane ahead of you, for example when

approaching a traffic light or parked vehicle or

when a vehicle is stalled in your lane. Also, the

system does not react to oncoming traffic,

pedestrians or other types of potential traffic

such as a rider on a horseback. It is also possible

that the system may not detect smaller moving

objects such as motorcycles or bicycles. Be

especially alert when encountering any of these

situations as the system will neither automati-

cally brake, nor provide a warning to you. Also,

be aware that every decrease in the distance

setting allows your vehicle to come closer to a

vehicle in front of you and requires a heightened

amount of alertness.<

The system cannot allow the vehicle to drive off

automatically in situations that make driving off

considerably more difficult, e.g. on steep uphill

grades, with a heavy trailer or before raised

areas in the road.

Near radio astronomy stations, the system

radar is deactivated at speeds under 20 mph/

30 km/h due to legal regulations.

Be certain to interrupt the system when

you pull into an exit lane for a highway

offramp.<

Also, vehicles traveling in a staggered manner

on a highway may cause a delay in the system’s

reaction to a vehicle in front of you or may cause

the system to react to a vehicle actually in the

lane next to you. Always be ready to take action

or apply the brakes if necessary.

In addition, the system is interrupted

whenever the driver applies the vehicle

brakes, shifts the transmission from drive/D to

neutral/N, or deactivates DSC. After any inter-
