Safety Information
Note: When detection is restricted, SGA may issue a warning too late or not at all. The detection of obstacles can be impaired by the following situations:
-
dirty, icy or obscured sensors
-
very wide lanes
-
vehicles not driving in the middle of their lane
-
barriers or other road boundaries
There is a risk of an accident in these situations.
The driver must pay attention to the traffic situation and maintain a safe distance at the side of the vehicle.
SGA is only an aid for a conscientious driver. Depending on the situation and the trailer, SGA may issue a warning prematurely or not at all. SGA and ASGA are not a substitute for attentive driving. Always ensure there is sufficient distance to the side for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and obstacles.
Important: If the sensors are dirty or SGA malfunctions, a grey triangle alert icon appears on the driver display. Objects in the monitoring range are not tracked when this occurs.
Before driving the truck, ensure that the radar sensor cover is free from dirt, ice, or slush. If the sensors get dirty while driving, pull off in a safe location to clean them. The radar sensors must not be painted or covered by items such as stickers.
If the truck is involved in a severe accident or there is damage to the passenger-side footsteps, have the function of the radar sensors checked.
If SGA malfunctions, have the function of the radar sensors checked at an authorized dealer.
