stitute for the driver’s personal judgment. Due

manner that is not consistent with their normal

and actively intervene where appropriate.
Overview
Radar sensors
The radar sensors are located in the rear
bumper.
Always keep the bumper in the area of the radar
sensors clean and unobstructed.
Switching on/off
The system is automatically active when the ve‐
hicle is turned on.
The system is deactivated in the following situa‐
tions:
▷ When driving in reverse.
▷ When the trailer power socket is in use or
trailer towing is activated, for instance during
operation with trailer or bicycle rack.
System limits
The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐
lowing situations:
▷ When a vehicle is approaching at a speed
much faster than your own.
▷ When the approaching vehicle approaches
slowly.
▷ In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
▷ In tight curves or on narrow lanes.
▷ If the bumper is dirty, iced up, or covered,
for instance by stickers.
▷ If the field of view of the sensors is covered,
e.g., by garage walls, hedges or snow hills.
▷ If cargo protrudes.
