▷ 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.
Prewarning sensitivity
Each time after the prewarning time is set, this may result in increased false warnings.
