ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
Refl ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
The vehicle ahead is signifi cantly dirty.
Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used when it's
raining.

sensor (front) .
Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapour rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.

In the following cases, the laser sensor (front) may inadvertently determine that there
is a vehicle ahead and the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may operate.
