Driver assist systems
Inf
ormation on sensors
Introduction
Depending on equipment, the vehicle
ha
s various driver assistance systems
that increase comfort and convenience
when driving. Some of these driver as-
sistance systems use sensors or cam-
eras for operation (also referred to as
“sensors” in general below). These are
visible to you in some cases and in oth-
er cases not.
The sensors and cameras detect the vehi-
cle surroundings optically and using ultra-
sound or radar waves.
Installed sensors
Depending on equipment, the following
sensors may be installed:
— Radar sensor in the front of the vehicle.
— Radar sensors in the rear of the vehicle.
— Camera behind the windscreen.
— Ultrasound sensors in the front of the ve-
hicle.
— Ultrasound sensors in the rear of the ve-
hicle.
You can find information on the re-
spective component locations in the
vehicle overviews → page 8.
WARNING
Driver assistance systems are not a sub-
stitute for the full c
oncentration of the
driver and function only within the limits
of the respective systems. The driver as-
sistance systems cannot detect all driving
situations and may warn or react with
a delay or not at all or may warn or react
in an undesired way. If you do not pay due
attention, there is a risk of accidents and
serious injuries or even death.
·
Always pay due attention and do not
rely exclusively on the system. The driv-
er is always responsible for all driving
tasks.
