Limitations of Rear
Collision Warning
112
In certain cases the Rear Collision Warning
(RCW) may have difficulty helping the driver in
the event of a collision risk.
This can, for example, be if:
• the vehicle approaching from behind is
detected too late
• the vehicle approaching from behind
changes lane at the last moment.
• a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected
to the car's electrical system – the function is
then deactivated automatically.

NOTE
• In certain markets, RCW does not give
a warning with the direction indicators
due to local traffic regulations - in such
cases, this part of the function is deac-
tivated.
• This function uses the car's camera
and/or radar units, which have certain
general limitations.
