Important safety notes

G

WARNING

BAS PLUS cannot always clearly identify

objects and complex traffic situations.

In such cases, BAS PLUS may:

R

intervene unnecessarily

R

not intervene

There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic

situation and be ready to brake. Terminate the

intervention in a non-critical driving situation.

G

WARNING

BAS PLUS does not react:

R

to small people, e.g. children

R

to animals

R

to oncoming vehicles

R

when cornering

As a result, BAS PLUS may not intervene in all

critical situations. There is a risk of an

accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic

situation and be ready to brake.

In the event of snowfall or heavy rain, the

recognition can be impaired.

Recognition by the radar sensor system is

also impaired in the event of:

R

dirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

R

interference by other radar sources

R

there are strong radar reflections, for

example in parking garages

R

a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a

motorbike

R

a vehicle traveling in front on a different line

R

vehicles quickly moving into the radar

sensor system detection range

Recognition by the camera system is also

impaired in the event of:

R

dirt on the camera or if the camera is

covered

R

there is glare on the camera system, e.g.

from the sun being low in the sky

R

darkness

R

if:

-

pedestrians move quickly, e.g. into the

path of the vehicle

-

the camera system no longer recognizes

a pedestrian as a person due to special

clothing or other objects

-

a pedestrian is concealed by other

objects

-

the typical outline of a person is not

distinguishable from the background

Following damage to the front end of the

vehicle, have the configuration and operation

of the radar sensors checked at a qualified

specialist workshop. This also applies to

collisions at low speeds where there is no

visible damage to the front of the vehicle.

Following damage to the windshield, have the

configuration and operation of the camera

system checked at a qualified specialist

workshop.

Function

To avoid a collision, BAS PLUS calculates the

brake force necessary if:

R

you approach an obstacle, and

R

BAS PLUS has detected a risk of collision

When driving at a speed under 20 mph

(30 km/h): if you depress the brake pedal,

BAS PLUS is activated. The increase in brake

pressure will be carried out at the last

possible moment.

When driving at a speed above 20 mph

(30 km/h): if you depress the brake pedal

sharply, BAS PLUS automatically raises the

brake pressure to a value adapted to the

traffic situation.
