Safety
General information
Four radar sensors in the bumpers monitor the
area next to the vehicle in the speed range from
approx. 45 mph/70 km/h to ap‐
prox. 130 mph/210 km/h.
The front camera determines the lane marking
positions.
If, for instance another vehicle is detected next to
the vehicle and if there is a risk of collision with
this vehicle, the system helps avoid the collision
via steering intervention.
