Depending on theve hicle's equipment, the
ra dar sensors are integ rated behind the
bumpers and/or behind thera diator grille.
Some driving and driving saf ety sy stems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to
th eve hicle.
Ke ep the areas around the sensors and cameras
free of dirt, ice or slush (/ page 305). The cam‐
eras and sensors must not be co vered, forex am‐
ple bybicycle rack s, overhanging loads, sticke rs,
fo il or foils toprotect against stone chipping.
Ad ditional licence plate brac kets can impair the
function of the ultrasonic sensors and camera
sy stems, in particular.
In theeve nt of dama geor a se vere impact in the
area of the sensors, ha vethe function of the
sensors checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Ha vedamage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras repaired at a qualified specialist
