be impaired if:
R there is dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors.
R there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy
rain or snow.
R a narrow vehicle, e.g. a motorbike or
bicycle, is traveling in front.
R the road has very wide lanes.
R the road has narrow lanes.

integrated into the sides of the rear bumper.
Make sure that the bumper is free of dirt, ice

checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Blind Spot Assist may otherwise not work
properly.
