Certain driving and driving safety systems use sensors 1 to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle (depending on the vehicle's equipment). Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the radar sensors are integrated behind the bumpers and/or behind the radiator grille. Keep these parts free of dirt, ice and slush. Do not cover the sensors, for example, with bicycle racks, overhanging loads or stickers.

Functions of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Observe the important safety guidelines for the driving safety system. ABS controls the brake pressure in critical situations: • During braking, for instance, at maximum fullstop braking or if there is insufficient tire traction, the wheels are prevented from locking.

Vehicles without steering wheel buttons: if ASR is malfunctioning, the indicator lamp lights up while the vehicle is running and the engine output may be reduced. ASR improves traction, i.e. the transfer of power from the tires to the road surface, for a sustained period and therefore also improves the driving stability of the vehicle.
