Operation
Read and observe
and on page 238 first.
The system support is provided in the following manner.▶ Alerts you about a dangerous proximity to the vehicle ahead.
▶ Warns you of an impending collision.
▶ Assists with a brake action triggered by the driver.
▶ If the driver fails to respond to a detected danger, an automatic braking ac-
tion is performed.
The system can work only if the following basic conditions are met. The system is activated.
TCS is activated » page 214.
The vehicle is travelling forwards at a speed of more than approx. 5 km/h.
Note
The system can be impaired or may not be available, for example when driving
in “sharp ”curves or with an ESC engagement » page 213.Distance warningFig. 299
Display of the instrument cluster: Proximity warning
Read and observe and on page 238 first.
The display of the distance warning is for vehicles with MAXI DOT display.
If a safe distance from the vehicle ahead is fallen short of, the warning light
appears in the display 
» Fig. 299 .
Immediately increase the proximity if the current traffic situation allows you
to do so!
The proximity at which the warning is displayed depends on the current speed.
The warning may occur when driving between about 60 km/h and 210 km/h.

Emergency braking at low speed
If there is a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of about 5 km/h to 45
km/h, the system triggers an automatic braking.
With automatic braking, the warning light appears in the display 
» Fig. 300 .
238Driving

Advance warning
If the system detects a risk of collision, the warning light appears on the dis-
play 
» Fig. 300 and an audible signal is emitted.
The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.
▶ If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle at a driving speed range
of approx. 30 km/h to approx. 210 km/h.
▶ If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle at a driving speed
range of approx. 30 km/h to approx. 85 km/h.
With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is to
be avoided!
Acute alert
If the driver does not react to the advance warning when in danger of a colli-
sion with a moving obstacle, the system briefly applies the brake automatically
via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the potential danger of a
collision again.
Automatic Braking
If the driver does not respond to acute warning, the system begins to auto-
matically brake the vehicle.
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
Brake assist
If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-
matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly
pressed down.Deactivation/activationFig. 301

ABCProactive occupant protection (Crew Protect Assist)
 Introduction

Function
242
ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.
WARNINGPlease take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .
Note
■
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 37 ,  Safety systems .■
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning func-
tion for the front passenger seat is switched off.
Function
Read and observe
on page 242 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden changein direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ Opened door windows in the front doors are closed automatically up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position. 
242Driving

The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶ in the menu  in Infotainment
→  →
Driver assistance
.
▶ Deactivating the TCS » page 214.
▶ By selecting the driving mode
Sport
» page 241 .
Provided that the driving mode
Sport
is not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as
when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.

The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor
» Fig. 303 .
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNINGThe system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-
screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.
Note
■ The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate
longitudinal markings.■
The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

Operating conditions
246WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
The system is intended for emergency situations when the driver is sud-
denly unable to take over the steering task. Therefore, never try to test out
the system - there is a risk of an accident!
Function
Read and observe
on page 246 first.
The assistant for emergencies (following known as system) detects inactivity
of the driver, which for example can be caused by a sudden loss of conscious-
ness. The system then performs measures as safely as possible to decelerate
the vehicle to a stop.
The system is only available for vehicles with Automatic transmission.
The assistant for emergencies is an extension of the systems Lane Assist
» page 243 and ACC » page 233 and works by using the functions of these two
systems.
For this reason, the chapters on System Lane Assist and ACC are to be read
carefully and the safety notes are to be observed.
System intervention
If the system detects the driver's inactivity, it draws attention to this fact by a beep and a message on the display of the instrument cluster. It keeps the ve-
hicle in its lane.
If the driver does not take over the steering even after a repeated warning,
the system automatically brakes the vehicle and after it has come to a stand-
still the parking brake switch on.
With automatic braking, the hazard warning system is switched on.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
Operating conditions
Read and observe
on page 246 first.
The system can intervene when the following basic conditions are present. Lane Assist is activated and the boundary line is detected at least on one
side of the lane » page 243.
