Brake force display
The concept
▷During normal brake application, the outer
brake lamps light up.▷During heavy brake application, the inner
brake lamps light up in addition.Active Protection
General information
The Active Protection safety package consists
of systems that are independent of each other:▷Attentiveness assistant.▷PreCrash▷PostCrash
Attentiveness assistant
The concept
If the becomes increasing less alert or shows
signs of fatigue, a recommendation to take a
break appears in the Control Display. This is
based on the driver's individual driving style,
e.g., steering behavior, or the driving conditions,
such as the time.
The system can detect increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue of the driver during long, monot‐
onous journeys, for example, on highways. In
this situation, it is recommended that the driver
take a break.
General information
The system is automatically activated every
time the engine is started.
Note Personal responsibility
The system cannot act as a substitute for
the personal assessment of one's physical state
and may not detect an increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue or may not detect it correctly.
Therefore, make sure that the driver is rested
and alert; otherwise, risks may be detected too
late and an accident be caused as a result.◀
Function
The system is activated each time the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
Seite 107SafetyControls107
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 917 801 - II/13

After travel has begun, the system is trained
about the driver, so that increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue can be detected.
This procedure takes the following criteria into
account:▷Personal driving style, for example, steering
behavior.▷Driving conditions, for example, length of
trip.
Starting at approximately 43 mph/70 km/h, the
system is active and can display a recommen‐
dation to take a break.
Break recommendation
If the driver becomes increasingly less alert or
fatigued, a message is displayed in the Control
Display with the recommendation to take a
break.
A recommendation to take a break is displayed
only once during an uninterrupted trip.
After a break, another recommendation to take
a break cannot be displayed until after approxi‐
mately 45 minutes.
System limits
The function may be limited in the following sit‐
uations, for instance, and will either output an
incorrect warning or no warning at all:
▷When the clock is set incorrectly.▷When the vehicle speed is mainly below
about 43 mph/70 km/h.▷With a sporty driving style, such as during
rapid acceleration or when cornering
quickly.▷In active driving situations, such as when
changing lanes frequently.▷When the road surface is poor.▷In the event of strong side winds.PreCrash
The concept
The system is used to detect critical driving sit‐
uations that might lead to an accident. In these
situations, preventative protection measures
are automatically undertaken to minimize the
risk in the event of an accident as much as pos‐
sible.
Critical driving situations may include:▷Full brake applications.▷Severe understeering.▷Severe oversteering.
If the vehicle includes the collision warning or
collision warning with braking feature, impend‐
ing collisions with vehicles driving ahead or
stopped in front of you can also be detected
within the system's range.
Personal responsibility
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic
situation. The system may not always detect
critical situations reliably and in a timely manner.
Adapt speed to traffic situation and drive alertly;
otherwise, a risk to safety may result.◀
Function
After the safety belt is buckled, the front belts
are automatically pretensioned once after the
vehicle is driven is away.
In critical driving situations, the following indi‐
vidual functions become active as needed:
▷The front belts are automatically preten‐
sioned.▷Automatic closing of the windows.▷Automatic closing of the glass sunroof.▷For vehicles equipped with power seat ad‐
justment: automatic positioning of the back‐
rest for the front passenger seat.
After a critical driving situation without an acci‐
dent, the front belts are loosened again. All other
systems can be restored to the desired setting.
