STARTING & DRIVING
Rear Driver Assistance System *
The rear driver assistance function is only an
aid, it is NOT a substitute for the attention
of the driver. The driver must always remain
in control, observe the surroundings and drive
safely.
System Overview
The effective recognition capabilities of the
rear sensors can be limited by objects such
as roadside buildings, guardrails, changes in
pitch angle of the car due to heavy loading,
road conditions such as bends or bumps or
weather conditions such as snow and ice etc.
Any of the above may trigger a false alarm.
The correct operation of the rear sensors will
be compromised if they are misaligned due to
accident damage. This may cause the system
to automatically shutdown.
To ensure that the radar sensors work
correctly, the rear bumper should be kept
free of snow and ice and must not be covered.
The rear driver assist system may not provide
adequate warning of very fast approaching
vehicles or operate correctly on tight curves
of 500m radius or less.
Use of non recommended materials or
paint on rear bumper repairs may have a
detrimental effect on the operation of the
rear sensors. Please only use recommended
materials.
The rear driver assist system will not operate
correctly whilst towing a trailer or caravan.
The system has limitations and may not be
able to warn of vehicles approaching at high
speeds.
