obstacles, for example stoppe dorparked
vehicles. G
Ris
kofa ccident
If, in a critical driving situation, you do not
receive a visual and acoustic warning:
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake did no tdetec tthe risk of
a collision
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake is switched off
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake has failed
You must then brake to avoid a collision.
X To activate/deactivate: activate or deac-
tivate PRE-SAFE ®
Brake in the on-board
computer (Y page 204).
After activation, the Äsymbol is dis-
played on the left in the instrumentc luster.
The radar sensor system is switched off auto-
matically in the vicinity of radio telescope
facilities ( Ypage 327).
Vehicles without COMAND and navigation,
and vehicles for Australia: near radio tele-
scope installations, the radar sensor system
must be switched off with the on-board com-
puter (Y page 210).
For PRE-SAFE ®
Brake to assist you when driv-
ing, the radar sensor system must be
switched on (Y page 210) and operational.
PRE-SAFE ®
Brake does not always detect
complex traffic situations properly. You can
terminate the braking action of PRE-SAFE ®
Brake in a non-critical driving situation at any
time if:
R an acoustic and visual warning occurs.
R the vehicle brakes.
To end this, you can either depress the accel-
erator pedal further, activate kickdown or
release the brake pedal. The braking action of PRE-SAFE
®
Brake is
ended automatically if:
R you manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle.
R you drive slower than approximately
15 km/h.
R there is no longer an obstacle detected in
front of your vehicle.
R there is no longer any dange rofacollision.
Following a collisio norcollision-related dam-
age to the front end of the vehicle, have the
configuration and operation of the radar sen-
sors checked. Choose a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools for the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. Anti-theft systems
