Heat-reflecting windscreen The heat-reflecting windscreen has a
coating which reflects solar radiation.
Also data signals, e.g. from toll
stations, might be reflected.
The marked areas on the windscreen are not covered with the coating.
Devices for electronic data recording
and fee payment must be attached in
these areas. Otherwise data
recording malfunctions may occur.
Windscreen stickers
Do not attach stickers such as toll
road stickers or similar on the
windscreen in the area of the interior
mirror. Otherwise the detection zone
of the sensor and the view area of the camera in the mirror housing could be restricted.

power windows. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
If there are children on the rear seats, switch on the child safety

and barriers for some distance.

increase in wet conditions or in sharp
curves. Otherwise the system maylight up due to guardrails, signs, trees,
shrubs or other immobile objects.
This is normal operation and the
system does not need to be serviced.
