A
WARNING
Lack of attention can cause collisions, other
accidents and serious personal injuries. The
braking guard is an assist system and cannot
prevent a collision by itself. The driver must
always intervene . The driver is always respon-
sible for braking at the correct time.
- Always pay close attention to traffic , even
when the braking guard is switched on . Be
ready to intervene and be ready to take
complete control whenever necessary. Al-
ways keep the safe and legal distance be-
tween your vehicle and vehicles up ahead.
- Braking guard works within limits and will
not respond outside the system limits, for
example when approaching a stopped vehi-
cle or stationary obstacle (end of a traffic
jam or vehicle that has broken down in traf-
fic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor for
the braking guard works only within defined
detection and range limits that may prevent
the proper detection of other vehicles .
- The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Moving vehicles up ahead may not be
promptly detected or may not be detected
at all.
- Reflective surfaces including crash barriers
or tunnel entrances may impair the function
of the radar sensor.

Tips
- You can cancel the braking with increasing
force that is initiated by the system by brak-
ing yourself, by accelerating noticeably or
by swerving.
- Keep in mind that braking guard can brake
unexpectedly. Always secure any cargo or
objects that you are transporting
to reduce
the risk of damage or injury .

Tips
- Your settings are automatically stored and
assigned to the remote control key being
used.
- If you restrict or switch off the ESC, the
braking guard also switches itself off

- Switch braking guard off when you are load-
ing the vehicle onto a vehicle carrier, train,
ship or other type of transportation.
This
can prevent undesired warnings from the
braking guard system.
