System limits of the radar sensors
The radar sensors may not be fully functional or may not be available in the following situations:
- If sensors are dirty, such as due to icing.
- If sensors are covered, such as by labels, films or a number plate baseplate.
- If the sensor is not aligned correctly, for instance due to parking damage.
- If the radiation range of the sensors is covered, e.g., by protruding cargo.
- When the field of view of the sensors is covered, e.g., by garage walls, hedges, snow hills, vehicles or trailers.
- After improper paint work on the vehicle in the area of the sensors.
- On steep hilltops or in sharp dips in the road.
If applicable, a Check Control message will be displayed when the system limits are reached.

Notes On Handling Optical Fibers
CAUTION: To avoid damage when handling optical fibers, comply with the
following
points:
The minimum permitted bending radius is 25 mm
Do not subject optical fibers to compressive and tensile load
Protect optical fibers against the effects of heat > or =85ºC
(e.g.
during welding work, dr
Limp-Home Mode
If a fault is diagnosed in the system, such as e.g. failure of the
high-pressure sensor, the fuel-supply control
valve is de-energized; the fuel then flows via a so-called bypass into the rail.
In the event of HPI limp-home mode, turbocharging is deactivated by an opening
of the wastegate valves.
