The following further criteria must also be fulfil-
led:
•
your car must be travelling at no less than
4 km/h (3 mph)
•
your car must turn to the left in markets with
right-hand traffic (or to the right in left-hand
traffic)
•
the oncoming vehicle must have its head-
lamps switched on.
WARNING
Driver supports only warn of obstacles which
their radar unit has detected – hence a warn-
ing may not be given, or it may be given with a
certain delay.
•
Never wait for a warning or intervention.
Apply the brakes when the situation
requires.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver sup-
port intended to facilitate driving and
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such as its
limitations and what the driver should be
aware of before using the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a substi-
tute for the driver's attention and judge-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe man-
ner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.
