The following situation can lead to inadvertent

activation:

The parked vehicle is moved, for example, in a

two-story garage.

Deactivate the tow-away alarm in order to

prevent inadvertent activation. If you deacti-

vate the tow-away alarm, collision detection

will also be deactivated.

You can permanently deactivate collision

detection via the multimedia system

(/ page 166).

If the battery is severely discharged, the func-

tion for detecting a collision on a parked vehi-

cle is automatically deactivated to facilitate

the next engine start.

System limits

Detection may be restricted in the following situa-

tions:

the vehicle is damaged without impact, for

example, if an outside mirror is torn o or the

Driving and driving safety systems

Driving systems and your responsibility

Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems that

assist you in driving, parking and maneuvering the

vehicle. The driving systems are only aids. They

are not a substitute for you paying attention to

your surroundings and do not relieve you of your

responsibility pertaining to road trac law. The

driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe

distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed,

for braking in good time and for staying in lane.

Pay attention to the trac conditions at all times

and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the

limitations regarding the safe use of these sys-

tems.

Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of an

accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor

override the laws of physics. They cannot always

take into account road, weather or trac condi-

tions.

Some driving systems can regulate or limit the

speed to a previously set value. Draw atten-

tion to the stored speed when changing driv-

ers.

Information on vehicle sensors and cameras

Some driving and driving safety systems use cam-

eras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to

monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the

vehicle.
