Vehicle messages 3 125.
Forward collision alert The forward collision alert can help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by a
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert is activated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 131 or that it
is not deactivated by the button V
(depending on the system, see
following).
Depending on the vehicle's
equipment, there are two variants of
the forward collision alert available:
■ Forward collision alert based on
radar system
on vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control 3 181.
■ Forward collision alert based on
front camera system
on vehicles with traditional cruise
control or none 3 178.
Forward collision alert based on radar system
The system uses the radar sensor
behind the radiator grille to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path,
within a maximum distance of
150 metres.
Activation
Forward collision alert operates
automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto collision
preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 131.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity can be set to
near, medium or far.

Driving and operating189
Press button E; the current setting is
shown on the Driver Information
Centre. Press button E again to
change the alert sensitivity. The
setting is also displayed in the top line
of the Driver Information Centre.Note that the alert timing sensitivity
setting is shared with the following distance setting of the adaptive cruise control. So changing the alert timing
sensitivity changes the adaptive
cruise control following distance
setting.
Alerting the driver
A green illuminated vehicle ahead
control indicator A lights up in the
instrument cluster when the system has detected a vehicle in the driving
path. When the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small or when approaching another
vehicle too rapidly and a collision is
imminent, the collision alert symbol
pops up in the Driver Information
Centre. Simultaneously a warning
chime sounds.
Depress the brake pedal, if it is
required by the situation.
