WARNING
The distance warning function does not react:
R to people or animals
R to oncoming vehicles
R to crossing traffic
R when cornering
Thus ,the distance warning function cannot
provid eawarning in all critical situations.
There is arisk of an accident.
Always pay carefu lattention to the traffic sit-
uation and be read ytobrake. G
WARNING
The distance warning function cannot always
clearly identify objects and comple xtraffic
situations.
In such cases, the distance warning function
may:
R give an unnecessary warning
R not give awarning
There is arisk of an accident.
Always pay carefu lattention to the traffic sit-
uation; do not rely on the distance warning
function alone.
Function The distance warning function issues awarning
at speeds:
R of approximately 30 km/h or more, if, over
severa lseconds, the distance maintained to
the vehicl etravelling in front is insufficient.
The · distance warning lamp then lights
up in the instrument cluster.
R of approximately 7km/h or more, if you rap-
idlya pproach avehicl einf ront. An intermit-
tent warning tone willt hen sound,and the
· distance warning lamp willl ight up in the
instrument cluster.
X Brake immediatel yinorder to increas ethe
distance from the vehicl einfront.
or
X Take evasive action provided it is safe to do
so.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving conditions
may alsoc ausethe system to display awarning. With the help of the rada
rsensor system, the
distance warning function can detect obstacles
that are in the path of yourv ehiclefor an exten-
ded period of time.
Up to aspee dofa pproximatel y70k m/h, the
distance warning function can alsor eact to sta-
tionary obstacles, such as stoppe dorparked
vehicles.
Autonomous braking function If the drive
rdoes not react to the distance warn-
ing signa linacritical situation, COLLISION PRE-
VENTION ASSIST PLUS can assist with the
autonomous braking function.
The autonomous braking function:
R gives the drive rmore time to react to critical
driving situations
R can help the drive rtoavoidana ccident or
R reduces the effects of an accident
Vehicles without DISTRONIC PLUS: the
autonomous braking function is available in the
following spee dranges:
R 7-1 05 km/h for moving objects
R 7-50k m/h for stationary objects
Vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS: the autono-
mous braking function is available in the follow-
ing spee dranges:
R 7-2 00 km/h for moving objects
R 7-50k m/h for stationary objects
Due to the nature of the system, complicated
but non-critical driving situations may also
caus ethe autonomous braking function to inter-
vene.
If the autonomous braking function demands
particularl yhigh braking force, preventative
passenger protection measures (PRE-SAFE ®
)
are activated simultaneously (Y page54).
Adaptive Brake Assist General notes
i Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page66).
With the help of Adaptive Brake Assist, the dis-
tance warning signa lcan detect obstacles that
are in the path of yourv ehiclefor an extended
period of time.
If Adaptive Brake Assist detects arisk of acol-
lision with the vehicl einfront, it calculates the 70
