WARNING
The Forward Collision Warning system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and system-related limits. The driver is always responsible for braking in time. If the Forward Collision Warning system issues a warning, immediately apply the brake to slow the vehicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending on the traffic situation.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
x The Forward Collision Warning system cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings in certain com-plex driving situations, for example, at traffic islands.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings when its function is impaired, for example, if the radar sensor is dirty or if the position of the radar sensor has been changed.
x The Forward Collision Warning system does not react to people, animals, or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
x Always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle at all times.
Deactivate the Forward Collision Warning system if it does not work as described in this chapter, for example, if multiple unwanted warnings occur. Have the system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
