Camera and radar sensor 16
For the sensors to work correctly, they must
be kept clear of dirt, ice and snow, and be
cleaned regularly with water and car sham-
poo.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
will reduce their function and may prevent
measurement.

"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to
assist the driver when there is a risk of collid-
ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
The function has certain limitations - for
example, it is not active until approx. 4 km/h..
The collision warning system's visual warning
signal (see (1) in the illustration (p. 215)) may
be difficult to notice in the event of strong
sunlight, reflections, when sunglasses are
being worn or if the driver is not looking
straight ahead. The warning sound should
therefore always be activated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking dis-
tance is extended, which may reduce the
capacity to avoid a collision. In such situa-
tions the ABS and DSTC systems will provide
best possible braking force with maintained
stability.
