Limited field of vision
The radar unit has a limited field of vision. In
some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.
The radar unit's field of vision.
Sometimes the radar unit is late at detect-
ing vehicles at close distances - e.g. a
vehicle that drives in between your car and
the vehicle ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
lane can remain undetected.
In bends, the radar unit may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle
from view.
Low trailers
Low trailer in radar shadow.
Low trailers can also be difficult for the radar
unit to detect, or are not detected at all - the
driver should therefore be particularly careful
when driving behind low trailers when the
adaptive cruise control
*
or Pilot Assist

is acti-
vated.
Camera
Impaired vision
The cameras have limitations similar to the
human eye, i.e. may "see" worse in for exam-
ple intense snowfall or rain, dense fog, heavy
dust storms and snow flurries. Under such
conditions, the functions of camera-depend-
ent systems could be significantly reduced or
temporarily disengaged.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,
dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings
can also significantly reduce camera function
when it is used to scan the carriageway to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and
other vehicles.
