If there is a risk of spray) collision, the driver will be warned in good time there is glare from oncoming headlights, with visible and audible signals. The multi-

Up to a speed of 65 km/h, pedestrians are wearing certain clothing standing objects and crossing pedestrians are and objects that hinder detection detected. The collision warning is a tool that cannot definitively detect complex traffic situations and may issue a warning too late. As a result, the driver must always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes. If the Assistant issues a warning, the driver must brake or swerve immediately if it is not dangerous to do so. The driver must not rely exclusively on the display, but instead always be aware of his or her surroundings. 24 there are pedestrians that are concealed by other objects there are pedestrians whose shape is difficult to discern from the background The assistant may generate false alerts in the following situations:
oncoming traffic crossing traffic on bends at traffic islands Pedestrians are detected based on typical body contours and posture. The collision warning will not react to:
small people (children) animals oncoming traffic crossing traffic and bends Lane departure warning The multi-function camera mounted to the front windscreen in the area of the area of the rear-view mirror monitors the area in front of the car and recognises lane markings. If the vehicle drifts out of the current lane, a warning is sounded. 25 roads. Where road markings and the road structure are poor, or if there are objects on the road, mis-
detections may occur. In this situation, the lane departure warning may sound an alert inappropriately or, incorrectly, not at all. The driver must not rely exclusively on the display, but instead always be aware of his or her surroundings. The lane departure warning is a tool that cannot intervene in the vehicle. The driver maintains full responsibility for steering the car, must keep their hands on the wheel at all times and must adjust the speed and distance from the car in front accordingly. Lane departure warning cannot take account of road and weather conditions and cannot always assess traffic situations correctly. The driver must adjust their driving style independently. The driver must not rely exclusively on the display, but instead always be aware of his or her surroundings. To ensure the function of the lane departure warning, the area around the camera must be kept clean the cameras line of sight must be kept clear the front windscreen in the area of the camera must be regularly checked for damage. The lane departure warning cannot recognise all road markings and has only been developed for driving on asphalted 26

The distance information minimises the risk of accident and reduces the consequences of an over a period of several seconds. The assistant provides optical information about the current distance to the vehicle in front, prompting the driver to adjust their distance. In critical situations, it also emits a signal (if activated) to warn the driver to brake the car immediately or to swerve if the situation allows it. 27 to people or animals to oncoming traffic to crossing traffic on bends In complex traffic situations, the distance information may issue a warning although there is no danger not issue a warning although there is a danger The distance information is a tool but should not be relied on exclusively. The driver must monitor their surroundings at all times and adjust their distance independently. The assistant will not intervene in the vehicle. It is the driver's responsibility to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The sensitivity of the distance information depends on the environmental and weather conditions. In heavy rain and snow, as well as in low temperatures and darkness, the assistant is more sensitive and recommends maintaining a greater distance. The distance information function is limited when visibility is poor (e.g. in poor road lighting, snow, heavy rain, fog and spray) there is glare from oncoming headlights, direct sunlight and bright reflections the camera is dirty, damaged or covered The distance information does not react:

The assistant analyses the driving behaviour, display and must be observed at journey length and time of day to offer all times. The driver must not rely exclusively on the display, but instead always be aware of his or her surroundings and interpret traffic signs independently.

The assistant also recommends lowering the high beam in well-lit areas, such as towns or cities. The high beam assistant is only active when the high beams are switched on. The high beams do not react to:
