Head-up-display*
A flashing symbol alerts the driver
If the vehicle is equipped with a head-up display,
a flashing symbol in the windshield will alert the
driver.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is
not looking straight ahead may make the vis-
ual warning signal in the windshield difficult to
see.

WARNING
Pilot Assist only provides warnings for vehi-
cles that its radar sensor and camera have
detected. For this reason, a warning may be
given later than expected or not at all. The
driver should never wait for a warning before
applying the brakes.
