WARNING
• Driver support systems only warn of
obstacles which their camera and
radar units have detected – hence a
warning may not be given, or it may be
given with a certain delay.
• Never wait for a warning or interven-
tion. Apply the brakes when the sit-
uation requires.
• • Automatic braking can prevent a
collision or reduce collision speed,
but to ensure full brake performance
the driver should always depress
the brake pedal – even when the car
brakes automatically.
• The warning and steering assis-
tance are only activated if there is a
high risk of collision – you must
therefore never wait for a collision
warning or for the function to inter-
vene.
• The function does not activate any
automatic brake interventions in the
event of heavy acceleration.
WARNING
• • Warnings and brake interventions
could be implemented late or not at
all if a traffic situation or external
influences mean that the camera
unit and radar unit cannot detect
pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles cor-
rectly.
• For vehicles to be detected at night,
their headlamps and rear lamp clus-
ter must be switched on and shining
clearly.
• Warnings for stationary and slow-
moving vehicles could be disen-
gaged due to darkness or poor visi-
bility.
• Warnings and brake interventions
for pedestrians and cyclists are
deactivated at vehicle speeds
exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
• The system can provide effective
warnings and brake interventions as
long as the relative speed is below
50 km/h (30 mph).
• For stationary or slow-moving vehi-
cles, warnings and brake interven-
tions are effective at vehicle speeds
up to 70 km/h (43 mph).
IMPORTANT
Driver support components must only be
maintained at a workshop – contact Pole-
star Support.
