BAS PLUS can help you to minimise the risk of
a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian and
reduce the effects of such a collision. If BAS
PLUS detects a danger of collision, you are
assisted when braking.
Important safety notes
G WARNING
BAS PLUS cannot always clearly identify
objects and complex traffic situations.
In such cases, BAS PLUS may:
R
intervene unnecessarily
R
not intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake. Terminate the
intervention in a non-critical driving situation.
G WARNING
BAS PLUS does not react:
R
to small people, e.g. children
R
to animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
when cornering
As a result, BAS PLUS may not intervene in all
critical situations. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake.
In the event of snowfall or heavy rain, detec-
tion can be impaired.
Detection by the radar sensor system is also
impaired in the event of:
R
dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R
interference by other radar sources
R
strong radar reflections, for example, in
multi-storey car parks
R
a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
motorcycle
R
a vehicle travelling in front on a different
line
R
vehicles quickly moving into the radar sen-
sor system detection range
Detection by the camera system is also
impaired in the event of:
R
dirt on the camera or if the camera is cov-
ered
R
glare on the camera system, e.g. from the
sun being low in the sky
R
darkness
R
if:
-
pedestrians move quickly, e.g. into the
path of the vehicle
-
the camera system no longer detects a
pedestrian as a person due to special
clothing or other objects
-
a pedestrian is concealed by other
objects
-
the typical outline of a person is not dis-
tinguishable from the background
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the radar sensor settings and oper-
ation checked at a qualified specialist work-
shop. This also applies to collisions at slow
speeds where there is no visible damage to
the front of the vehicle.
Following damage to the windscreen, have
the configuration and operation of the cam-
era system checked at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Function
To avoid a collision, BAS PLUS calculates the
brake force necessary if:
R
you approach an obstacle and
R
BAS PLUS has detected a risk of collision
When driving at a speed under 30 km/h: if
you depress the brake pedal, BAS PLUS is
activated. Braking assistance from BAS PLUS
is carried out at the last possible moment.
