dirt, ice, snow, and should be washed
regularly, also see page 270.

Camera and Radar Limitations
The following information lists some of
the driving and weather conditions that
can result in limitations of the radar
and camera.
Front Bumper Radar
(if fitted)
Vehicle Speed
The radar unit’s ability to detect a
vehicle ahead is greatly reduced if that
vehicle’s speed is very different to your
vehicle’s own speed.
Interference by other radar sources or
strong radar reflections.
Field of Vision
The radar unit has a limited field of
vision and in certain situations may not
detect another vehicle or is detected
later than expected.
The radar unit maybe late to detect
vehicles at close distance, such as a
vehicle that drives in between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
road may not be detected.
