pears from the screen and the functions

CAUTION
If the radar sensor is dirty or poorly ad-

justed, the Front Assist system may give un-
necessary warnings and apply the brakes
inappropriately.
The operation of the radar can be affec-

closed car park or due to the presence of
metallic objects (e.g. guard rails or sheets
used in road works).
The sensor may not be adjusted correct-
●
ly if it receives an impact. This may com-
promise the system's efficacy or discon-
nect it. If you have the feeling that the ra-
dar sensor is damaged or adjusted incor-
rectly, switch off the Front Assist and ACC
functions to avoid any damage. If this oc-
curs have it adjusted.
