COLLISION PREVENTION ASSISTPLUS can
help you to minimize the risk of a front-end
co llision with a vehicle ahead or reduce the
effects of such a collision.
If COLLISION PREVENTION AS SISTPLUS
detects that there is a risk of a collision, you
will be warned visually and acoustically. If you
do not react to the visual and audible collision
warning, autonomous braking can be initiated
in critical situations. If you apply the brake
yourself in a critical situation, the COLLISION
PREVENTION AS SISTPLUS adaptive Brake
Assist assists you.
Important safety notes
Detection of hazardous situations can be par-
ticularly impaired by:
Rthere is dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors
Rthere is snow or heavy rain
Rthereisinterference by other radar sources
Rthere are strong radar reflections, for
example in parking garages
Ra narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
Ra vehicle traveling in front on a different line
Rnew vehicles or after a service on the COL-
LISI ON PREVENTION AS SISTPLUS system
Observe the important safety notes in the
"Breaking-in notes" section (
Ypage 130).
Fo llowing damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at low speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.
Switching on/off
The COLLISION PREVENTION AS SISTPLUS is
automatically active after switching on the
ignition.
You can activate or deactivate COLLISION
PREVENTION AS SISTPLUS in the on-board
computer (
Ypage 194). When deactivated, the distance warning function and the auton-
omous braking function are also deactivated.
If COLLISION PREVENTION AS SISTPLUS is
deactivated, the æsymbol appears in the
assistance graphics display.
Distance warning function
General info rmation
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a front-end collision with
a vehicle ahead or reduce the effects of such a co llision. Ifthe distance warning function
detects that there is ariskofacollision, you
will be warned visually and acoustically.
Important safety notes
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion for driving safety systems (
Ypage 62).
GWARNING
The distance warning function does not react:
Rto people or animals
Rto oncoming vehicles
Rto crossing traffic
Rwhen cornering
Thus, the distance warning function cannot
provide a warning in all critical situations.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake.
GWARNING
The distance warning function cannot always
clearly identify objects and complex traffic
situations.
In such cases, the distance warning function
may:
Rgive an unnecessary warning
Rno t giveawarning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and do not rely solely on the distance
warning function.
