Collision Warning.

.
In order to function properly, the camera and
laser sensor must be kept clean. Dirt, ice,
snow, etc., will reduce the function of these
components.
Remove ice and snow when necessary and
wash these areas regularly with a suitable car
washing liquid.
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 dif-
ficult to see. For this reason, always activate
the audible warning signal.
Slippery driving conditions increase braking
distance, which can reduce the system's
capacity to avoid a collision. In these condi-
tions, the ABS and DSTC systems provide
the best possible braking effect while helping
to maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be tempo-
rarily disengaged in the event of high pas-
senger 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 sys-
tem.
WARNING
•
In certain situations, the system can-
not provide warnings or warnings may
be delayed if traffic conditions or other
external factors make it impossible for
the radar sensor or camera to detect a
pedestrian or a 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 pedestrians and provides warnings
and braking effect most effectively at
speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). For
stationary or slow-moving vehicles, the
system functions best if your vehicle’s
speed is below approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h).
•
Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-
ing vehicles may not be provided in
dark conditions or in poor visibility.
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 155.
