Detection range
With the Evasion Assistant, the following
may not be detected in the sensor detection
range, e.g.:
– Preceding vehicle driving slowly and be-
ing approached at high speed.
– Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front
of you, or strongly decelerating vehicles.
– Vehicles with unusual rear designs.
– Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
– Partially covered pedestrians or bikes.
– Pedestrians that are not detected as
such because of their contour or pos-
ture.
– Pedestrians who are too small for the
sensors to detect.
Exit warning
Principle
The exit warning helps to avoid accidents.
The system monitors the vehicle's surround-
ings for a limited time after you get in
or park. When opening doors, vehicle occu-
pants are then warned if a risk of collision
with an approaching object is detected.
