WARNING
Inadequate braking
power during automatic
braking by the system
If the system has detected that braking assistance is
required on the part of the driver, a warning signal
sounds and a warning message appears on the in-
strument cluster. In this case, the system braking
power is insufficient to prevent a collision.
e Brake immediately in this case.
System limitations
WARNING
Unfavorable road condi-
tions and poor weather
conditions
Radar sensor vision can be impaired by rain, snow,
ice, fog, loose gravel or spray. Vehicles up ahead may
not be adequately detected, or may not be detected
at all.
Reflective objects such as ice, heavy rain, crash bar-
riers or tunnel entrances may impair the functional-
ity of the radar sensor. A message indicating that the
system is not available appears on the instrument
cluster.
e Do not use the system under such conditions.
WARNING
Undetected vehicles or
objects
The radar sensor detects a narrow, cone-shaped
area in front of your vehicle. As a result, vehicles or
objects may not be detected in time or cannot be
detected in the following situations:
– Vehicles driving erratically or weaving in and out
– Vehicles with a small cross-section or narrow
vehicles
– Vehicles entering and exiting curves
– Stationary vehicles
– Vehicles with large projecting loads
– Pedestrians, cyclists and animals
– Objects on the road
– Oncoming vehicles and cross-traffic
e Intervene and brake yourself if necessary.
e Drive with extreme care and always pay attention
to the traffic conditions and vehicle
surroundings.
Vehicles driving erratically or weaving in and
out and narrow vehicles
Fig. 9: Vehicles driving erratically or weaving in and out (A)
and narrow vehicles (B)
A vehicle that is driving erratically or weaving in and
out will only be detected if it is completely in the
same lane.
A narrow vehicle may not be detected in time, if at
all.
Vehicles entering and exiting bends and sta-
tionary vehicles
Fig. 10: Vehicles entering and exiting bends (C) and sta-
tionary vehicles (D)
Vehicles entering and exiting bends may not be de-
tected or may not be detected in time or the radar
sensor may react to vehicles in adjacent lanes.
A stationary vehicle or obstacle that suddenly ap-
pears in the radar sensor's range, such as after a ve-
hicle ahead changes lanes or at the end of a traffic
jam, may only be detected to a limited extent by
adaptive cruise control.
