Rear Collision Warning* limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for Rear Collision Warning (RCW)1 to warn the driver of a collision risk.
This may be the case if:
- the vehicle approaching from the rear is detected at a late stage
- the vehicle approaching from the rear changes lanes at a late stage
- a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is connected to the vehicle's electrical system - the function will then be automatically deactivated.
Note
In certain markets RCW does not warn with the direction indicators due to local traffic regulations – in such cases, that part of the function is deactivated.
Note
The function uses the vehicle's radar sensors, which have certain general limitations.
