The area monitoring system (from here on only referred to as the system)
warns you of the danger of a collision with an obstacle in front of the vehicle
and tries to avoid a collision or mitigate its consequences by automatically ap-
plying the brakes as appropriate.
WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
The system has physical and system-related limitations. For this reason,
■
the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system responses in
certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and ready to inter-
vene!
Always adapt your speed and safety proximity to the vehicle ahead to the
■
current visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
The increased passenger protection afforded through the system must
■
not tempt you to take greater risks than otherwise – risk of accident!
If the system reports a warning, depending on the traffic situation, decel-
■
erate the vehicle or avoid the obstacle.
The system does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
Note
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the electri-
cally connected trailer, the system becomes unavailable.
