for example, in areas where
there are roadworks.

Normal braking: brake lights illu-

Shortly before the vehicle comes to
a standstill, the hazard warning
lights are activated.
To switch off the hazard warning
lights:
Accelerate.
Press the hazard warning lights
button.
The system can automatically bring
the vehicle to a standstill in certain
accident situations without the
involvement of the driver. The risk
of a further collision and its conse-
quences can thereby be reduced.
After the vehicle has come to a halt,
the brake is released automatically.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to bring the vehicle to a
standstill more quickly.
To do this, for a short time the brak-
ing pressure applied when stepping
on the brake pedal must be higher
than the braking pressure achieved by the automatic braking function.
This action interrupts the automatic
braking process.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to cancel automatic braking,
for example for an evasive
manoeuvre.
Cancel automatic braking:
By depressing the brake pedal.
By depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The system can detect decreasing
attentiveness or the onset of fatigue
in the driver on long monotonous
journeys, for example on motor-
ways. In this situation, it is recom-
mended that you take a break.
