Function of the radar sensors
Some driving and driving safety systems use
radar sensors 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 (

page 294).
The sensors must not be covered, for example
by bicycle racks, overhanging loads or radar-
reflecting stickers. Following an impact and in
the event of associated damage, which may not
be visible, to the bumpers or radiator grille, have
the function of the radar sensors checked at a
qualified specialist workshop. The driver assis‐
tance system may no longer work properly.

Functions of ABS (anti-lock braking system)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
R
During braking, the wheels are prevented
from blocking, e.g. due to maximum full-stop
braking or insufficient traction of the tyres.
R
Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
