9 Warning

The usage of a license plate

When using a license plate

support, follow the markings and

indications on the front bumper.

9 Warning

Do not use the adaptive cruise

Fault

In the event of an adaptive cruise

control fault, a warning light is

illuminated in the Driver Information

Centre and a warning message is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre accompanied by an audible

signal.

The speed limit recognition may not

operate correctly if traffic signs do not

on Road Signs and Signals.

Have the system checked by a

workshop.

As a safety measure, do not use the

system if the brake lights are faulty.

Do not use the system if the front

bumper is damaged.

System performance on hills depends

on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic

conditions and the road gradient. It

may not detect a vehicle in your path

while driving on hills. On steep hills,

you may have to use the accelerator

pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.

When going downhill you may have to

brake to maintain or reduce your

speed.

The radar unit is located in the middle

of the front bumper.

9 Warning

The radar unit was aligned

carefully during manufacture.

Therefore, in the event of a front-

end impact, do not use the system.

The front bumper may appear to

be intact, however the sensor

behind may be affected and react

incorrectly. After an accident,

consult a workshop to verify and

adjust the radar unit position.

Note that applying the brake

deactivates the system.

During a reverse parking

manoeuvre, the system does not

consider a mounted coupling ball

bar. The driver has to consider this

additional length.

Notice

It is possible that the sensor detects

a non-existing object caused by

echo disturbance from external

acoustic noise or mechanical

misalignments (sporadic false

warnings may occur).

In the case of a gearbox failure,

the parking assist system is not

active, when reverse gear is

engaged.

Make sure that the front number
