Driving and driving safety systems

Driving systems and your responsibility

Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and maneu‐
vering the vehicle. The driving systems are aids
and do not relieve you of your responsibility. Pay
attention to the traffic conditions at all times
and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the
limitations regarding the safe use of these sys‐
tems.

Function of the radar sensors

Some driving and driving safety systems use
radar sensors to monitor the area in front of,
behind or next to the vehicle (depending on the
vehicle's equipment).
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the radar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind the radiator grill. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush . The sensors
must not be covered, for example by bicycle
racks, overhanging loads or radar-reflecting
stickers. Following an impact and in the event of
Driving and parking 147
associated damage, which may not be visible, to
the bumpers or radiator grille, have the function
of the radar sensors checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. The driver assistance system
may no longer work properly.
