Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and maneu‐
vering the vehicle. The driving systems are tools
and do not relieve you of your responsibility. Pay
attention to the traffic conditions at all times
and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the
limitations regarding the safe use of these sys‐
tems.
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 342).
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.
