& WARNING Risk of accident due to
restricted detection performance of vehi‐
cle sensors and cameras
If the area around vehicle sensors or cam‐
eras is covered, damaged or dirty, certain
driving and safety systems cannot function
correctly. There is a risk of an accident.
Keep the area around vehicle sensors
#
or cameras clear of any obstructions
and clean.
Have damage to the bumper, radiator
#
grille or stone chipping in the area of
the front and rear windows repaired at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Particularly, keep the areas around the sensors
and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush
( page 261). The sensors and cameras may
/
not be covered and the detection ranges around
them must be kept free. Do not attach additional
license plate brackets, advertisements, stickers,
foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in
the detection range of the sensors and cameras.
Make sure that there are no overhanging loads
protruding into the detection range.
If there is damage to a bumper or the radiator
grille, or after an impact, have the function of
the sensors checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. Have damage or stone chipping in the
area of the cameras on the windshield and rear
window repaired at a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
