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.

▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach them at high speed.

▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you or sharply decelerating vehicles.

▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.

▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.

Functional limitations

The system may not be fully functional in the following situations:

▷ In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowfall.

▷ In tight curves.

▷ If the camera view field or the front windshield are dirty or covered.

▷ When driving toward bright lights.

▷ In the case of vehicles with insufficiently visible tail lamps.

▷ In the case of partially covered vehicles.

▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine, via the Start/Stop knob.

▷ During the calibration process of the camera immediately after vehicle shipment.

Depending on the set prewarning time, this may result in increased false warnings.
