for more information on the menu system.
Limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead
may make the visual warning signal in the windshield difficult to see. For this reason, always activate the audible
warning signal in such conditions.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature
due to strong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the audible warning signal will be used, even if it has been deactivated in
the menu system.
Warnings may not appear if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel and pedal movements
are great, for example, due to a very active driving style.
WARNING
In certain situations, the system cannot provide warnings or warning may be delayed if traffic conditions or other
external factors make it impossible for the radar sensor or camera to detect the vehicle ahead.
Warnings may not be provided if the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, or if movements of the steering
wheel/brake pedal are great, such as during active driving.
The sensor system has a limited range for stationary or slow-moving vehicles and may therefore give delayed or
no warnings if your vehicle's speed is above approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles may not be provided in dark conditions.
The Collision Warning system uses the same radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For more information on the
radar sensor and its limitations, see
page 160
.
If no warning is given, or if a warning is delayed, Auto-brake will also not be provided or will be delayed.
NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the warning distance can be reduced (see "Setting a warning distance" on
page
167
). This causes the system to provide later warnings, which decreases the total number of warnings provided.
The camera's limitations
The camera is used by Collision Warning with Auto-brake, Driver Alert Control (see
page 171
), and Lane Departure
Warning (see
page 174
).
NOTE
Keep the section of the windshield in front of the camera clean and free of ice, snow, or condensation.
