WARNING
If you suspect that the sensor is damaged, deactivate the ACC. Have the
■
sensor checked by a specialist garage.
The sensor can become misaligned by collisions or by damage to the front of
■
the vehicle, the wheel arch or the underside of the vehicle. This can lead to an
impairment of the ACC function - risk of accidents! If this is the case, have the
sensor checked by a specialist garage.
Any improperly carried out work to the front of the vehicle may cause the
■
sensor to become misaligned. We therefore recommend only having these
modifications and technical alterations carried out by a specialist garage.
Please also observed the instructions in
and technical alterations.
The area in front of and around the sensor must not be covered with stick-
■
ers, additional lights or similar items. This can lead to impaired function of the
sensor - risk of accidents!
CAUTION
The sensor may not be able to distinguish all objects correctly under certain cir-
cumstances. We therefore recommend that you avoid using the ACC in the follow-
ing cases.
When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal buildings, rail-
■
road tracks, etc.) can be found.
When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-capacity
■
garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).
CAUTION
Remove the snow with a brush and the ice with a solvent-free de-icer.
