The cross traffic warning is only an aid and not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and park-
ing remains with you. Make sure that no persons,
animals, objects etc. are in the maneuvering area.
& WARNING Risk of accident caused by limi-
ted detection performance of the cross
traffic warning
The cross traffic warning cannot always clearly
identify objects and traffic situations.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation; do not rely on the cross traffic
warning alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve as nec-
#
essary, provided the traffic situation per-
mits and that it is safe to take evasive
action.
