functions.

WARNING
•
The Distance Warning function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and make it safer – it cannot
handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.
•
The vehicle's size may affect the ability to
detect, e.g. motorcycles, which could
mean that the warning lamp illuminates at
a shorter time window than set or that the
warning is temporarily absent.
•
Extremely high speeds can cause the
lamp to illuminate at a shorter time win-
dow than that set due to limitations in
radar unit range.
•
Distance Warning is not a substitute for
the driver's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the car is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
