Vehicle features and options

This chapter describes model-specific equip-

ment, systems, and functions that are currently

available, or may become available in the fu-

ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.

Additional information:

Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.

Overview

The rearview camera is located in the handle

strip on the rear of the vehicle.

Depending on the equipment, the following

cameras and sensors are installed in the vehi-

cle:

Functional requirement of the

cameras

The areas of the cameras are clean and clear.

▷

Camera behind the windshield.

Rearview camera.

Additional information:

Front radar sensor.

▷

Washing the vehicle, refer to page 314.

Vehicle care, refer to page 315.

Radar sensors, side, rear.

Ultrasonic sensors in the front/rear bump-

ers.

System limits of the cameras

The cameras may not work properly, e.g.,

show something that is incorrect, in the follow-

ing situations:

▷

Ultrasonic sensors, side.

Cameras

▷

In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.

On steep hills, in steep depressions or in

tight curves.

Camera behind the windshield

▷

When the camera field of view is covered,

for instance by a fogged up windshield or

labels.

▷

If the camera lens is dirty or damaged.

With open doors or open cargo area.

When driving toward bright lights or strong

reflections, e.g., setting sun.

▷

Radar sensors

Safety information

Warning

The radar sensors are located on the side of

the rear bumper.

Functional requirement of the radar

sensors

The areas of the radar sensors are clean and

clear.

The vehicle radar sensors and thus also the

driver assistance systems can be impaired by

external influences, e.g., interference. There

is a risk of accident, injury, or property dam-

age. Watch the surrounding traffic situation

closely, be ready to take over steering and

braking at any time, and actively intervene

where appropriate.

Additional information:

▷

Washing the vehicle, refer to page 314.

Vehicle care, refer to page 315.

System limits of the radar sensors

The function of the radar sensors may be re-

stricted or not available, for instance in the fol-

lowing situations:

Front radar sensor

▷

In case of dirty sensors.

In case of iced-up sensors.

If sensors are covered such as by labels,

films or a license-plate carrier.

▷

If the sensor is not aligned correctly, for in-

stance due to parking damage.

If the radiation range of the sensors is cov-

ered, e.g., by protruding cargo.

The front radar sensor is located in the front

bumper.

When the field of view of the sensors is cov-

ered, e.g., by garage walls, hedges, snow

hills, vehicles or trailers.

▷

After improper paint work on the vehicle in

the area of the sensors.

On steep hilltops or in sharp dips in the

road.

Ultrasonic sensors

Ultrasonic sensors, front

The ultrasonic sensors for the parking assis-

tance systems are located on the sides of the

front and rear bumpers.

Functional requirement of the

ultrasonic sensors

The areas of the ultrasonic sensors are clean

and clear.

The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assis-

tance systems are located in the front bumper.

Ultrasonic sensors, rear

▷

Washing the vehicle, refer to page 314.

Vehicle care, refer to page 315.

System limits of the ultrasonic

sensors

The detection of objects with ultrasonic meas-

urements can run into physical limits, e.g., in

the following situations:

▷

If the sensors are dirty or covered, e.g., by

stickers.

The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assis-

tance systems are located in the rear bumper.

If the sensor is not aligned correctly, for in-

stance due to parking damage.

After improper paint work on the vehicle in

the area of the sensors.

▷

For small children and animals.

For persons with certain clothing, for in-

stance jacket.

▷

With obstacles and persons at the edge of

the lane.

In case of external interference with the

ultrasonics, for instance from passing ve-

hicles, loud machines or other ultrasonic

sources.

▷

Under certain weather conditions, e.g., high

moisture, wet conditions, snowfall, cold, ex-

treme heat, or strong wind.

With tow bars and trailer hitches of other

vehicles.

▷

With thin or wedge-shaped objects.

With moving objects.

With elevated, protruding objects such as

ledges.

▷

With objects with corners, edges, and

smooth surfaces.

In the case of objects with fine surfaces or

structures, e.g., wire mesh fences.

▷

For objects with porous surfaces.

With small and low objects, for instance

boxes.

▷

Low objects already displayed, for instance

curbs, can be outside of the detection

ranges of the sensors.

With soft obstacles or obstacles covered in

foam material.

▷

With plants and bushes.

In automatic car washes.

In the event of uneven floors, e.g. speed

bumps.

▷

If there are large amounts of exhaust gas.

Cargo that extends beyond the perimeter of

the vehicle is not taken into account by the

ultrasonic sensors.

If applicable, a Check Control message will be

displayed when the system limits are reached.
