Driving and operating 217
Radar unit
The radar unit is located in the middle
of the front bumper.
9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, in the event of a front-
end impact, do not use the system.
The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind may be affected and react
incorrectly. After an accident,
consult a workshop to verify and
adjust the radar unit position.

Warning
The usage of a license plate
support on the front bumper may
affect the proper radar unit
functionality.
When using a license plate
support, follow the markings and
indications on the front bumper.
Fault
In the event of an adaptive cruise
control fault, a warning light is
illuminated in the Driver Information
Centre and a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre accompanied by an audible
signal.
The speed limit recognition may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not
comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a
workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. For vehicles equipped with
camera and radar, active emergency
braking also detects cyclists. Before
the active emergency braking
applies, the driver may be warned by
the forward collision alert.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, brake pressure,
vehicle speed) to calculate the
probability of a frontal collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver's responsibility
for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. It warns the driver if the
vehicle is at risk of a collision with
the preceding vehicle, a
pedestrian or a cyclist. Just before
