-Please note that the sensor does not always
detect all objects. This increases the risk of a
collision.

animals or objects that are crossing the ve­
hicle's path or are difficult to detect
¢ page 97.
-Reflective objects such as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the funct ion of the radar sensor and
the system's ability to detect a collision risk .
- Lack of attention can lead to collisions, oth­
er accidents and serious injuries. pre sense
front is an assistance system and cannot
prevent a collision by itself. The driver must
always intervene . The driver is always re­
sponsible for braking at the right time.
- Always pay attention to traffic, even when
pre sense front is switched on . Always be
ready to intervene and take over complete
control of the vehicle whenever it is neces­
sary. Always follow traffic laws regarding
maintaining a safe distance between your
vehicle and vehicles ahead.
- pre sense front works within certain limits
and cannot react to situations that are out­
side of the system limits, such as when ap­
proaching a stationary vehicle or a station­
ary obstacle (the end of a traffic jam or ave­
hicle that has broken down).
- Always keep in m ind that the radar sensor
for pre sense front only works w ith in de­
fined detection zones, which means other
vehicles may not always be detected correct­
ly.
- The function and range of the radar sensor
can be impaired by rain, snow and heavy
mist. Vehicles ahead may not be detected
right away, or not detected at a ll.
- Reflective surfaces such as guard rails or en­
trances to tunnels may impair the function
of the radar sensor.
