Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake, especially if
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake warns you. Terminate the
intervention in a non-critical driving situation.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired if there is:
R
dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors
R
snow or heavy rain
R
interference by other radar sources
R
the possibility of strong radar reflections,
for example in parking garages
R
a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
R
a vehicle traveling in front on a different line
relative to the center of your vehicle
G
WARNING
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake does not react:
R
to people or animals

to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
As a result, PRE-SAFE
®
Brake may neither
give warnings nor intervene in all critical
situations. There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake.
In order to maintain the appropriate distance
to the vehicle in front and thus prevent a
collision, you must apply the brakes yourself.
