Driving and operating193● Weather limits visibility, such asfog, rain, or snow.
● The sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, windscreen
damage or affected by foreign
items, e.g. stickers.
Active emergency braking Active emergency braking can help toreduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the Forward collision
alert 3 189 or the Front pedestrian
protection alert 3 196.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
If equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in forward gear above walking speed up
to 85 km/h.
With radar sensor active emergency
braking operates in forward gear
above walking speed at all speeds.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 117.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking ● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
● front pedestrian protection system
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurizes the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested.
The brake system is prepared so that braking can occur more rapidly.
If equipped only with front camera the
system operates up to a speed of 80
km/h.
Driving and operating2119Warning
Displayed images may be further
or closer than they appear. The
area displayed is limited and

display all objects near the edges
of the vehicle. Folding side mirrors that are out of position will not
display the panoramic view
correctly.
Blind spots are represented as
hatched areas in the illuminations.
Dark areas show the views displayed by the panoramic view system.
System limitationsCaution

system, it is important to keep the
lenses of the cameras in the front
grille, the housings of outside
mirrors and in the tailgate between the number plate lights always
clean. Rinse the lenses with water and wipe with a soft cloth.
Do not clean the lenses with a
