Rear Collision Warning*1 limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for Rear Collision Warning (RCW) 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 is then deactivated automatically.
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 camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.
