ing force is used when the brake is actuated.
Prerequisite is sufficiently quick and hard stepj ping on the brake pedal.
The system can additionally assist possibly
with automatic braking intervention if there is a
risk of a collision.
At low speeds the vehicle can be decelerated
to a complete stop.
The braking intervention takes place up to apj
prox. 50 mph/80 km/h.
The braking intervention is executed only if vej
hicle stability has not been restricted, for inj
stance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Staj
bility Control.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj
tively moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Observe
the limitations of the detection range and funcj tional restrictions.

braking
intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brakj
ing force is used when the brake is actuated.
Prerequisite is sufficiently quick and hard stepj ping on the brake pedal.
The system can assist with automatic braking
intervention if there is a risk of a collision.
The braking intervention can bring the vehicle
to a complete stop.
The braking intervention is executed only if vej
hicle stability has not been restricted, for inj stance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stajbility Control.
Above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h the braking
intervention occurs as a brief braking pressure. No automatic delay occurs.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj tively moving the steering wheel.Cross-traffic warning: brake intervention is notperformed in the event of cross traffic.
Object detection can be restricted. Observe
the limitations of the detection range and funcj tional restrictions.
System
limits
Safety
information WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not
at all due to the system limits. There is a risk of accidents or risk of property damage. Observethe information regarding the system limits
and actively intervene, if needed.'

Functional
limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:'yIn heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowj
fall.'yIn tight curves.'yIf the driving stability control systems are limited or deactivated, for instance DSC
OFF.'yIf the field of view of the camera or the
windshield is dirty or covered in the area of
the interior mirror.'yDepending on the equipment: if the radar
sensors are dirty or covered.'yUp to 10 seconds after the start of the enj gine via the Start/Stop button.'yDuring calibration of the camera immedijately after vehicle delivery.'yIf there are constant blinding effects bej
cause of oncoming light, for instance from
the sun low in the sky.
Warning
sensitivity
The more sensitive the warning settings are,
such as the warning time, the more warnings
are displayed. However, there may also be an excess of premature warnings.
Evasion
assistance
Concept
The system supports the driver in making evaj
sive maneuvers in certain situations, such as when obstacles suddenly appear.
General
information The system issues a warning and intervenes to
support the driver if a lateral evasive maneuver
is possible. Sensors monitor and detect the
clearance around the vehicle. If the system identifies space alongside the vehicle, it supj
ports an evasive maneuver begun by the driverby safely providing targeted steering support.
Detection
range
Objects that the system can detect are takeninto account.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess visij
bility and traffic situation. There is a risk of an
accident. Adjust the driving style to the traffic
conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene in the respective situations.'

Always keep the bumper in the area of the raj dar sensors clean and unobstructed.
Camera
The camera is installed near the interior mirror. Keep the windshield in front of the interior mirj
ror clean and clear.

Warning
with

Display
in
the

cluster
A warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster and in the Head-up Display if a collisionwith a detected vehicle is imminent.
SymbolMeasureSymbol lights up red: prewarning.
Brake and increase distance.Symbol flashes red and an acoustic signal sounds: acute warning.
You are requested to intervene by
braking or make an evasive maneuj
ver.
Acute
warning
with
evasion
support
Acute warning is displayed in case of the immij nent danger of a collision when the vehicle apj
proaches another object at a high differential speed.
If an acute warning is issued, intervene in the
situation yourself. If there is a risk of collision, the driver's evasive maneuvers are supportedby the system.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.

Warning
with
braking
function
Display
If a collision with a person detected in this way
is imminent, a warning symbol appears on the
instrument cluster and in the Head-up Display.
The red symbol is displayed and a sigj
nal sounds.
If the vehicle is equipped accordingly, a red warning triangle alternatively lightsup in the instrument cluster.
Intervene immediately by braking or make an
evasive maneuver.
Braking
intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brakj
ing force is used when the brake is actuated.
Prerequisite for the brake booster is suffij
ciently quick and hard stepping on the brake
pedal.
The system can additionally assist with braking intervention if there is a risk of a collision.
At low speeds the vehicle can be decelerated
to a complete stop.
The braking intervention is executed only if vej
hicle stability has not been restricted, for inj

bility Control.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj

Night
Vision
with
pedestrian
and
animal
detection
Concept
Night Vision with pedestrian and animal detecj tion is a night vision system.
An infrared camera scans the area in front of
the vehicle and issues a warning if it detects
pedestrians and animals on the street. The system detects warm objects that are similar in
shape to human beings or animals. If necesj
sary, the thermal image can be displayed on
the Control Display.
General
information
Thermal
image
The image shows the heat radiated by objects in the field of view of the camera.
Warm objects have a light appearance and cold objects a dark appearance.
The ability to detect an object depends on the
temperature difference between the object
and the background and on the level of heat radiation emitted by the object. Objects that
are similar in temperature to the environment
or that radiate very little heat are difficult to dej
tect.
For safety reasons, when driving at speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h and in low ambij ent light, the image is only displayed when thelow beams are activated.
A still image is displayed at regular intervals for a fraction of a second.
Pedestrian
and
animal
detection
Object detection and warning only functions in
darkness.
Seite 151SafetyControls151
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 976 346 - X/16

Objects whose form is similar to people with
sufficient heat radiation are detected.
In addition, the system also detects animalsabove a certain minimum size, e.g., deer.
Display on the Control Display with thermal imj
age activated:'yPeople detected by the system: in light yellow.'yAnimals detected by the system: in dark
yellow.
Range of object detection, with good ambient
conditions:
'yPedestrian detection: up to approx.
330 ft/100 m'yDetection of large animals: up to approx.
490 ft/150 m'yDetection of medium animals: up to apj prox. 230 ft/70 m
Environmental influences can limit the availaj
bility of object detection.
If the vehicle systems detect that the vehicle is located in a residential area, the animal detecj
tion is temporarily switched off.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess visij bility and traffic situation. There is a risk of anaccident. Adjust the driving style to the traffic
conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene in the respective situations.'
