System limits
Basic limits
The system may have limited functionality in
some situations, for example:
▷ On steep crests or dips and on tight bends.
▷ If the camera is dirty or damaged.
▷ In thick fog, wet conditions or snow.
▷ At very high outside temperatures.
Limits of person and animal
recognition
In some situations, it is possible that persons are
recognised as animals and animals as persons.
Small animals are not detected by object recog‐
nition, even if they can be clearly seen in the im‐
age.
Detection may be limited in the following circum‐
stances, for example:
▷ Where persons or animals are partly or wholly
concealed, in particular their head.
▷ Where persons are not standing upright, for
example if they are lying down.
▷ Cyclists on non-conventional cycles, for ex‐
ample recumbent cycles.
▷ If the system has been physically damaged,
for example after an accident.

General
This camera-based system warns once a mini‐
mum speed has been reached.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the Intelligent Safety
Systems.
Warnings are issued by means of a steering
wheel vibration. The strength of the steering
wheel vibration can be adjusted. The timing of
this warning may vary depending on the current
driving situation.
The system does not issue a warning if the driver
indicates before leaving the driving path.
Vehicles with side collision warning: if a lane
marking is crossed in the speed range up to
210 km/h, 130 mph, the system intervenes not
only by vibrating but also with a brief active steer‐
ing intervention. The system thereby helps to
keep the vehicle in lane.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the course of the
road and traffic situation. There is a danger of
accidents. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it. In
the event of a warning, do not move the steer‐
ing wheel with unnecessary force.
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve you of
personal responsibility. System limitations can
mean that warnings or system responses are
not issued or are issued too late, incorrectly, or
without justification. There is a danger of acci‐
dents. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.
