to the vehicle in front and thus prevent a col-
lision, you must apply the brakes yourself.

automatically under the following conditions:
the driver and front-passenger have their
R
seat belts fastened

R
covering the sensors
there is interference by other radar sources
R
there are strong radar reflections, for
R
example in parking garages
a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
R
motorbike
a vehicle traveling in front on a different line
R
relative to the center of your vehicle

dirt on the camera or if the camera is cov-
R
ered

R
from the sun being low in the sky
darkness
R
if:
R
pedestrians move quickly, e.g. into the
-
path of the vehicle
the camera system no longer recognizes
-
a pedestrian as a person due to special
clothing or other objects
a pedestrian is concealed by other
-
objects
the typical outline of a person is not dis-
-
tinguishable from the background
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensors checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at low speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.
