Assist systems
– The function of the sensors and cameras
may be limited when light and visibility con-
ditions are poor, for example when driving
into a tunnel, when there is glare, or when
there are reflective objects.
impair sensor functionality. The assist sys-
tems may be limited or may not function as
expected.
Note
– External ultrasonic sensors, such as those in
other vehicles, can interfere with the sen-
sors.
– Obstacles may disappear from the measure-
ment range when approaching them, even if
they were already detected.
– The coverage areas of the sensors ðfig. 101
and cameras ðfig. 102 are schematic repre-
sentations and do not represent a true-to-
scale image of the sensor ranges.
– The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations
– In some situations, the ability of the sensors
and cameras to detect and display certain
objects may be limited:
– Objects located above the coverage area,
such as bumpers on parked cars, garage
doors that are partially open, or objects
that are hanging
ðpage 310.
– Low obstacles
Locations of the sensors and cameras
– Narrow objects, such as barrier chains, fo-
liage, poles, or fences
– Projecting objects, such as trailer draw
bars
– Objects with certain surfaces and struc-
tures, such as fabric
Tips
– Exterior mirrors equipped with peripheral
cameras must always be folded out fully to
ensure correct functionality. Make sure the
mirrors are folded out fully when driving.
– The sensors and cameras and the areas
around them must not be obstructed or
painted, because this can impair the func-
tion of the systems that depend on them.
Make sure that the sensors and cameras are
free of snow, ice, and other deposits. At-
tachments, stickers, adhesive, paint or simi-
lar objects must not be applied to sensors
or extend into the visual field of the sensors
and cameras.

– On vehicles that have factory-installed li-
cense plate brackets on the front of the ve-
hicle, the brackets may only be replaced
with ones that are the same size and made
of the same material. Do not install any li-
cense plate brackets on the front of vehicles
that do not have factory-installed brackets.
Otherwise, the function of the system could
be impaired.
Front area
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the follow-
ing sensors and cameras may be installed:
– Camera behind the windshield
– Peripheral cameras on the exterior mirrors
– Front peripheral camera in the radiator grille
– Front and side ultrasonic sensors
