Laser Sensor Handling

The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) laser sensor is installed at the top of the windshield
near the rearview mirror.
Always keep the surface of the windshield around the laser sensor clean to assure proper
operation of the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.
WARNING
As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the laser, always heed the
following precautions:
Never remove the sensor.
A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under the IEC
60825-1 specifi cation and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.
Do not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a magnifi cation function
such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and objective lenses within a distance of
100 mm (3.94 in) from the sensor.
