Assist systems
The rearview camera can only detect the area
marked in red © fig. 87. Only this area is dis-
played on the upper display > A.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.
— Sensors may be subject to physical system
limitations. External sources of interfer-
ence, for example from other vehicles, can
impair sensor functionality. The assist sys-
tems may be limited or may not function as
expected.
— Obstacles may disappear from the measure-
ment range when approaching them, even if
they were already detected.
— In some situations, the ability of the sensors
and cameras to detect and display certain
objects may be limited.
— Objects located above the coverage area,
such as bumpers on parked cars, garage
doors that are partially open, or objects
that are hanging
— Low obstacles
— Narrow objects, such as barrier chains, fo-
liage, poles, or fences
— Projecting objects, such as trailer draw
bars
— Objects with certain surfaces and struc-
tures, such as fabric
— The sensors and cameras and the areas
around them must not be obstructed be-
cause this can impair the function of the
systems that depend on them. Make sure
that the sensors and cameras are free of
snow, ice, and other deposits. Attachments,
stickers, adhesive, or similar objects must
not extend into the visual field of the sen-
sors and cameras.
~On vehicles that have factory-installed li-
cense plate brackets on the front of the ve-
hicle, the brackets may only be replaced
with ones that are the same size and made
of the same material. Do not install any li-
cense plate brackets on the front of vehicles
that do not have factory-installed brackets.
Otherwise, the function of the system could
be impaired.
~The function of the sensors and cameras
may be limited when light and visibility con-
ditions are poor, for example when driving
into a tunnel, when there is glare, or when
there are reflective objects.
— External ultrasonic sensors, such as those in
other vehicles, can interfere with the sen-
sors.
~The coverage areas of the sensors fig. 80
and cameras © fig. 87 are diagrams and do
not represent a true-to-scale image of the
sensor ranges.
~The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations
