er's Manual regarding the scope of the sys‐
tem's operation and limitations.
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Only objects that are detected by the system are
taken into account.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
The following situations may not be detected, for
instance:
▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,
or sharply decelerating vehicles.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Upper speed limit
If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated
temporarily. When the vehicle slows down to be‐
low this speed, the system is reactivated.
System limits of the sensors
Additional information:
▷ Cameras, refer to page 35.
▷ Radar sensors, refer to page 36.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐
lowing situations:

Safety
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A1E4B0 - X/20
▷ In tight curves.
▷ If the driving stability control systems are lim‐
ited or deactivated, for instance DSC OFF.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine
via the Start/Stop button.
Warning sensitivity
The more sensitive the warning settings are, for
example the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. Therefore, there may also be an ex‐
cess of premature or unjustified warnings and re‐
actions.
Evasion Assistant
Concept
The system supports the driver in making eva‐
sive maneuvers in certain situations, such as
when obstacles or persons suddenly appear.
General information
The system issues a warning and intervenes to
support the driver if a lateral evasive maneuver is
possible. Sensors monitor and detect the clear‐
ance around the vehicle. If the system identifies
space alongside the vehicle, it supports an eva‐
sive maneuver begun by the driver by safely pro‐
viding targeted steering support.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
