Distance Warning* - symbols and messages

as Adaptive cruise control (p. 201) and Collision

(p. 200)

warning with auto brake (p. 227), has certain lim-

itations.

NOTE

Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-

tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun-

glasses, could mean that the warning light in

the windscreen cannot be seen.

Poor weather or winding roads could affect

the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles

in front.

The size of other vehicles could also affect

detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This

could mean that the warning lamp illuminates

at a shorter distance than the setting or that

the warning is temporarily absent.

Extremely high speeds can also cause the

lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than

that set due to limitations in sensor range.

For further information on radar sensor limita-

tions, see Radar sensor - limitations (p. 214) and

Collision warning system* - operation (p. 231).

* Option/accessory.
