detected:
▷
Slow moving objects when you approach
them at high speed.
▷
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of
your vehicle.
▷
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
▷
Pedestrians.
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷
In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
▷
In tight curves.
▷
If the radar sensor is dirty.
Be alert
Due to system limitations, warnings may
be not be issued at all, or may be issued late or
improperly. Therefore, always be alert and ready
to intervene; otherwise, there is the danger of an
accident occurring.◀
Prewarning sensitivity
If the prewarning sensitivity is high, a larger
number of false warnings may occur.
