WARNING
Do not cover the windscreen in the area of the laser sensor. This can lead
to impaired function of the sensor - risk of accidents!
WARNING
The laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries. The la-
ser beam is not visible to the human eye.
Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass
■
to look into the laser sensor.
The laser beam can also be active when the system is disabled or is not
■
available.
CAUTION
Remove any snow from the windscreen in the area of the laser sensor using a
■
hand brush and any ice with a solvent-free de-icing spray.
If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc., re-
■
- .
place the windscreen.
Note
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
■
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.
Automatic braking interventions by the emergency brake function can be
■
terminated by pressing the clutch or the accelerator or by moving the steering
wheel.
