Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the radar sensor settings and oper-
ation checked at a qualified specialist work-
shop. This also applies to collisions at slow
speeds where there is no visible damage to
the front of the vehicle.
Following damage to the windscreen, have
the configuration and operation of the cam-

When driving at a speed under 30 km/h: if
you depress the brake pedal, BAS PLUS is
activated. Braking assistance from BAS PLUS
is carried out at the last possible moment.
When driving at a speed above 30 km/h: if

BAS PLUS provides braking assistance in haz-

a speed range between 7 km/h and
250 km/h.
At speeds of up to approximately 70 km/h,
BAS PLUS can react to:
stationary objects in the path of your vehi-
