Radar sensors

Safety information

WARNING
Due to external influences, e.g. interference, the radar sensors of the vehicle and thus also the driving assistance systems can be disturbed. There is a risk of an accident. Observe the traffic situation, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene if the situation warrants it.

System limits of the radar sensors
The function of the radar sensors can be restricted or not available, for example in the following situations:

• If the sensors are contaminated.
• In the case of iced-up sensors.
• If the sensors are obscured, for example by stickers, foils or a number plate carrier.
• If the sensors are misaligned, for example, due to parking damage.
• If the radiation range of the sensors is covered, for example by protruding loads.
• When the field of view of the sensors is covered, for example by garage walls, hedges, snow hills, vehicles or trailers.
• After work was performed incorrectly on the vehicle paintwork near to the sensors.
• At steep crests or hollows of hills.

A Check Control message may be displayed if the system limits are reached.

System limits of the ultrasonic sensors
The physical limits of ultrasound measurement may be reached when detecting objects in situations involving the following, for example:

• If the sensors are dirty or covered, e.g. by stickers.
• If the sensors are misaligned, for example, due to parking damage.
• After work was performed incorrectly on the vehicle paintwork near to the sensors.
• Small children and animals.
• Persons wearing certain types of clothing, for example, a jacket.
• Obstacles and people at the edge of the driving lane.
• If there is external interference with the ultrasonic sound, for example by passing vehicles, loud machines or other ultrasonic sources.

• For trailer towbars and tow hitches of other vehicles.
• Thin or wedge-shaped objects.
• Moving objects.
• Higher protruding objects, for example, projecting walls.
• Objects with corners, edges and smooth surfaces.
• For objects with fine surfaces or fine structures, for example, wire mesh fences.
• Objects with porous surfaces.
• Small and low objects such as boxes.
• Low objects already displayed, for example, kerbs, can be outside of the detection ranges of the sensors.
• Soft obstacles or obstacles covered in the foam material.
• Plants or shrubs.
• In washing bays and car washes.
• In the event of bumps, for example, speed bumps.
• If there are dense exhaust fumes.
