Snaking roads
Danger.
On snaking roads, AEBS may not always detect vehicles
in front unequivocally. The distance sensor may not
detect that the vehicles in front is in the same lane as
you. You must be prepared where necessary to brake the
bus using the service brake in order to increase the
distance from the vehicles ahead. For these reasons, pay
even closer attention to traffic conditions on snaking
roads.
Standing objects
Examples of standing objects:
Posts
Crash barriers on the outside of a bend
Traffic signs projecting into the carriageway
Bridges
Danger.
For these reasons, pay even closer attention to traffic
conditions when cornering and when approaching
standing objects because no automatic braking will be
initiated.
Vehicles on entry and exit sliproads or intersections
Danger.
AEBS may not always detect vehicles in front at
intersections, entry sliproads or exit sliproads
unequivocally. Where vehicles join your lane,
warnings may not be issued at all, and braking may
not be initiated, because the target could not be
acquired in time even though it may have already
encroached into your lane. Where vehicles leave your
lane, a delayed visual loss of the target could result in
brief warnings and braking begin initiated even if the
vehicle has always arrived in the next lane.
Warning in response to vehicles pulling out of lane
