Limits of the sensors
Limits of the radar sensors
Driver assist systems that use radar sensors can react unexpectedly, with a delay or not at all in the following
situations:
—Driving in poor weather conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow or heavy spray.
—Driving through road works, tunnels or toll stations.
—Driving on winding roads, e.g. mountain roads.
—Over crests or through dips.
—Driving offroad.
—Driving in multi-storey car parks.
—Driving on roads with embedded metal objects, e.g. railway tracks.
—Driving on roads with loose chippings.
—In complex driving situations, e.g. traffic islands.
—After external force on components in the area of the radar sensors, e.g. after a rear-end collision.
—If the radar sensors are covered, dirty, incorrectly adjusted or damaged.
Limits of the camera behind the windscreen
Driver assist systems that use the camera behind the windscreen can react unexpectedly, with a delay or not at all in
the following situations:
—Over crests or through dips.
—Driving through road works.
—Driving offroad.
—Driving in poor weather conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, fog or heavy spray, and on poor roads.
—When the sun is low in the sky, in darkness or with glare from oncoming vehicles.
—If the camera is temporarily not available due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high ambient
temperatures.
—If the camera window is covered, dirty or damaged.
—If the camera is displaced.
Delayed response
If the sensor system is exposed to environmental conditions that impair sensor functioning, the driver assist systems
may detect this only after a certain delay. For this reason, any restrictions to functions may be displayed only after a
delay at the start of the journey and when driving .
