The camera and radar are intelligent driving aids that cannot be relied on to achieve intelligent driving, and the necessary safety steering must be employed to avoid road safety risks or accidents caused by the driver's improper use of camera and radar.

Obstructed camera

The area in front of the radar sensor must be cleaned regularly and kept free of decals, objects, dirt, etc., which could interfere with radar-based functions. It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or to produce an incorrect function response.

Wet snow or ice on the grille in front of the radar unit can disrupt radar-based functions. It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or to produce an incorrect function response. The driver is always responsible for intervening in this type of situation and for maintaining a safe speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.

Vehicle speed

The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle ahead is significantly reduced if the speed of the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your vehicle's speed.

Limited field of vision

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations, it may detect a vehicle later than expected or not at all.

1. The radar sensor's detection of vehicles very close to your vehicle may be delayed in certain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls in between your vehicle and the vehicle directly ahead.
2. Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles that are not driving in the center of the lane may remain undetected.
3. In curves, the radar may detect a different vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.

Do not install anything in front of the radar unit, such as auxiliary lights, decals, etc., as this could interfere with radar-based functions. It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or to produce an incorrect function response.
