With the help of the radar sensor system, the
forward collision warning can detect obsta-
cles that are in the path of your vehicle for an
extended period of time.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h), the forward collision warning can
react to stationary obstacles, such as sta-
tionary or parked vehicles.

WARNING
The distance warning function does not
react:
R
to people or animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
The distance warning function may not
give warnings in all critical situations.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake.
Always adapt your speed to suit the pre-
vailing road and traffic conditions.
G
WARNING
The distance warning function cannot
always clearly identify objects and com-
plex traffic situations.
In such cases, the distance warning func-
tion may:
R
give an unnecessary warning
R
not give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and do not rely solely on the dis-
tance warning function.
The · warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up if:
R
the vehicle is rapidly approaching a vehi-
cle traveling in front or a stationary object.
In this case, an intermittent warning tone
also sounds
Detection can be restricted under the follow-
ing conditions:
R
the vehicle is new or service work has been
carried out on the system. In this case,
observe the information on breaking-in
the vehicle
R
the sensors are dirty or covered
R
in heavy rain or snow
R
there is interference from other radar
sources, e.g. in parking garages
R
the vehicle traveling in front is narrow,
e.g. a motorcycle
R
the vehicle traveling in front is traveling
on a different line
Following any damage to the front end of the
vehicle, have the configuration and opera-
tion of the radar sensor checked at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. This also applies to
collisions at slow speeds where there is no
visible damage to the front of the vehicle.

lision warning
When the ignition is restarted, the forward
collision warning is automatically activated.
