braking. Depressing the accelerator pedal also
interrupts automatic braking.
Concept In the event of an accident, the system canbring the vehicle to a halt automatically with~
out intervention by the driver in certain situa~
tions. This can reduce the risk of a further colli~
sion and the consequences thereof.
At
standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released au~
tomatically. Secure the vehicle against rolling.
Harder
vehicle
braking
It can be necessary to bring the vehicle in cer~
tain situations to a halt quicker.
Here, a higher braking pressure must be gener~
ated for a short period when pressing the brake pedal than during automatic braking. This in~
terrupts automatic braking.
Interrupting
automatic
