Condition and Illustration |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Cornering, entering and exiting bends |
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to react to vehicles on bends is limited. ABA5 and ACC may react to a vehicle or object in an adjoining lane and unexpectedly issue warnings or brake the vehicle. ABA5 and ACC may be slow to react to a vehicle or object previously hidden by a bend in the lane. ACC may also accelerate the vehicle unexpectedly if the vehicle ahead is hidden by a bend in the lane. |
|
Vehicles not traveling in line with your vehicle and stationary vehicles
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to react to vehicles not traveling in line with your vehicle and stationary vehicles is limited. ABA5 and ACC may react to a vehicle or object partially in your lane and unexpectedly issue warnings or brake your vehicle. ABA5 and ACC may be slow or fail to react to vehicles not traveling in line with your vehicle or stationary vehicles only partially in your lane. ACC may not detect and react to vehicles not traveling in line with your vehicle or stationary vehicles partially in your lane and may accelerate unexpectedly. |
|
Other vehicles changing lanes
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to vehicles pulling into your lane without maintaining a safe distance is limited. ABA5 and ACC may be slow to react or fail to react to a vehicle entering your lane if the distance to the vehicle entering the lane is too short. ACC may accelerate unexpectedly if it fails to detect the vehicle entering the lane. If a vehicle cuts in front, brake your vehicle to increase the following distance. |
|
Narrow vehicles changing lanes
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to narrow vehicles pulling into your lane is limited. Narrow vehicles may be slow to enter the system's detection range. ABA5 and ACC may be slow to react or fail to react to a critical driving situation due to the merging vehicle being slow to enter the system's detection range. ACC may accelerate unexpectedly if it fails to detect the vehicle entering the lane. |
|
Vehicles turning off or in a nonstandard orientation.
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to vehicles turning off or vehicles in a nonstandard orientation is limited. ABA5 and ACC may react to a vehicle turning off and unexpectedly issue warnings or brake the vehicle. ABA5 and ACC may be slow or fail to react to a vehicle turning off or to a vehicle at an angle due to an accident even through there is a critical driving situation. |
|
Overtaking
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to a vehicle you are overtaking is limited. When overtaking a vehicle, ABA5 and ACC may unexpectedly issue warnings or brake your vehicle if you drive too close to the vehicle you are overtaking before exiting that lane. |
|
Winding stretches of road
|
On winding stretches of road, ABA5 and ACC cannot detect which lane the vehicle in front is driving in. ABA5 and ACC may unexpectedly issue warnings or brake your vehicle when reacting to vehicles in a different lane. ABA5 and ACC may be slow to react or fail to react to a vehicle in your lane even through there is a critical driving situation. ACC may fail to detect the vehicle in front in your lane and may accelerate the vehicle unexpectedly. |
|
Obstacles and stationary vehicles in front of a detected vehicle
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to objects when the detected vehicle turns off is limited. When the detected vehicle turns off, ABA5 and ACC may react to the obstacle or stationary vehicle that was in front of the detected vehicle and unexpectedly issue warnings or brake your vehicle. When the detected vehicle turns off, ABA5 and ACC may be slow to react or fail to react to an obstacle or stationary vehicle that was in front of the detected vehicle even though there is a critical driving situation. ACC may react to the vehicle turning off by accelerating unexpectedly. |
|
Vehicles parked or broken down at the side of the road
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to a stationary vehicle on the side of the road is limited. ABA5 and ACC may unexpectedly issue warnings or brake your vehicle if it detects a vehicle on the side of the road. |
|
Stationary objects
|
The ability of ABA5 and ACC to detect and react to stationary objects above, beside, and on the road is limited. ABA5 and ACC can unexpectedly issue warnings and brake the vehicle if it detects stationary objects beside, above, or in front of your lane such as:
|
|
People
|
The ability of ABA5 to detect and react to people in certain situations is limited. ABA5 can unexpectedly issue warnings and brake the vehicle if it detects and reacts to:
|
