Vehicles that are diff icult to detect, e.g. two -
wheeled vehicles ahead, vehicles with high
ground clearance, protruding load , are fre-

The system is in-
tended to measu re the distance to ref lective
surfaces. If a measurement
is not possib le,
the system does not respond.
When t he me asurement has taken pla ce, the
system can assess a hazardous situation,
when a vehicle ahead suddenly brakes or when
your own vehicle is driving at high speed to-
wards a much slower vehicle ahead. As soon
as the system assumes that a poss ible coll i-
sion with the vehicle ahead can only be avoid-
ed by immediate a ll-out braking or by an
avoiding maneuver, a warning appea rs.
The system has a pre-set response t ime to be
able to warn in good time . This system re-
sponse time is automatically reduced if you
acce le rate actively, for example to jo in a high-
way. Braking, transverse accele rat ion and the
stee ring a ng le can lead to a reduced system
response time. The war ning is deactivated if
you begin to overtake with f ull acceleration .
The system draws your attent io n to two differ-
en t hazardous s ituations :
