Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
radar sensors are integrated behind the
bumpers and/or behind the radiator grill.
Some driving and driving safety systems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to
the vehicle.
Keep the areas around the sensors and cameras
free of dirt, ice or slush (
/
page 337). The cam‐
eras and sensors must not be covered, for exam‐
ple by bicycle racks, overhanging loads, stickers,
foil or foils to protect against stone chipping.
Additional license plate brackets can impair the
function of the ultrasonic sensors and camera
systems, in particular.
In the event of damage or a severe impact in the
area of the sensors, have the function of the
sensors checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop. If the sensors or cameras are dam‐
aged, some driving systems and driving safety
systems may no longer function properly.
