In particular, the detection of obstacle scan be
impaired in the cas eof:
Rdirt on the sensors or anything else covering
the sensors
Rsnow or heavy rain
Rinterference from othe rradar sources
Rstrong rada rreflections, for example, in park-
ing garages
Ran arrow vehicl etraveling in front, e.g .a
motorbike
Rav ehicl etraveling in front on adifferent line
Due to the nature of the system ,particularly
complicate dbutnon-critica ldriving conditions
maya lsoc ause Adaptive Brake Assist to inter-
vene.
If yo ufailtoa dapt your driving style ,Adaptive
Brake Assist can neither reduce the ris kofacci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. Adaptive
Brake Assist canno ttake into account road,
weather or traffic conditions. Adaptive Brake
Assist is onlyana id.Y ou arer esponsibl efor the
distance to the vehicl einfront, for vehicle
speed ,braking in goo dtime and for staying in
your lane.

Operation
With the hel pofthe rada rsensor system ,Adap-
tive Brake Assist can detect obstacle sthath ave
been in the path of your vehicl efor an extended
perio doft ime.Adaptive Brake Assist does not
react to stationar yobstacles. If Adaptive Brake Assist detects
ariskofc ollision with avehicle
traveling in front or with astationar yobstacle,
the system calculate sthe braking forc eneces-
sary to avoidt hiscollision. If yo uapply the
brakes forcefully, Adaptive Brake Assist will
automaticall yincrease the braking forc etoa
level suitabl efor the traffic conditions.
