Monitoring range of the sensors
Between the vehicle and the monitoring range
there is an angle of approximately 6°. Objects
within this range are not detected.

R
warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar solid boun-
daries
R
warnings may be interrupted when you are
driving alongside particularly long vehicles,
such as lorries, for a prolonged time
Depending on the situation and on the trailer/
semitrailer, Sideguard Assist may:
R
issue a warning prematurely
R
not issue a warning
Make sure that the radar sensor cover is free
from dirt, ice or slush. The radar sensors must
not be painted or covered, e.g. by stickers or
films.

board computer displays a yellow event window.
Objects in the monitoring range are then not
indicated.
Have the function of the radar sensors checked

erly.
