driver must always intervene . The driver is
always responsib le for braking at the cor-
rect time.
- Always pay close attention to traffic,
even when the brak ing guard is switched
on. Be ready to intervene and be ready to
take complete control whenever necessa-
ry. Always keep the safe and legal dis-
tance between your vehicle and vehicles
up ahead.

its, for example when approaching a
stopped vehicle or stationary obstacle
(end of a traff ic jam or vehicle that has
broken down in traffic).

can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy

be prompt ly detected or may not be de-
tected at all .
- Reflective surfaces including crash barri-
ers or tunne l entrances may impair the
function of the radar sensor.
