Swerving vehicles

When a vehicle moves from an adjacent
lane into your lane, active cruise control will
not recognize this vehicle until it is fully in
your lane ahead of your vehicle.

Malfunctions

The build-up of foreign material – e.g.,
snow, ice, dirt, road debris, etc. – can lead
to reduced detection performance of active
cruise control. You should check the sen-
sor under the front bumper and clean it as
necessary prior to driving your vehicle.
If the sensor becomes covered by foreign
material or has a malfunction, it is possible
that the sensor will no longer be able to
detect vehicles in front of you. After the
system recognizes that the sensor is no
longer functional, a message is displayed
in the Check Control and an acoustic signal
is emitted, refer to page

. Also observe

the additional information provided in the
Control Center.
