The collision warning can be issued in the in‐
strument cluster, in the Head-up Display, and
acoustically.

System limits
Be alert
Due to system limitations, warnings may
be not be issued at all, or may be issued late or
improperly. Therefore, always be alert and ready
to intervene; otherwise, there is the danger of an
accident occurring.◀
Detection range
The detection capacity of the radar sensor and
the collision warning has limitations.
This may result in the warning not being issued
or being issued late.
For example, the following situations may not be
detected:
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you
or sharply decelerating vehicles.
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Pedestrians.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowfall.
In tight curves.
If the radar sensor is dirty or covered.
Prewarning sensitivity
Depending on the set prewarning time, this may
result in increased false warnings.
