Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.

Acoustic warning
General information
An intermittent tone indicates when the vehicle
is approaching an object. E.g., when an object
is detected at the rear left of the vehicle, a
sound is heard from the rear left speaker.
The shorter the distance to the object, the
shorter the intervals of the intermittent tones.
When the distance to a detected object is less
than approx. 8 in/20 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
