possible driveability.
In all-wheel drive mode, the front axle is driven by the combustion engine or
the electrical engine, the rear axle is
driven by a second electrical engine.

154Driving and operatingoperation of the electric parking brake
is activated. It is not possible when
switch m is pulled at the same time.
Braking when vehicle is moving
When the vehicle is moving and the
switch j is kept pulled, the electric
parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle. As soon as the switch
j is released, braking will be
stopped.
The antilock brake system and the
Electronic Stability Control stabilise
the vehicle while the switch j is kept
pulled. If an error of the electric
parking brake occurs, a warning
message is displayed in the driver
information centre. If the antilock
brake system and the Electronic
Stability Control fail, one or both
indicators i and J illuminate in the
instrument cluster. In this case,
stability can only be provided by
repeatedly pulling and pushing the
switch j until the vehicle is
immobilised.Automatic operation

personalisation 3 107.
8'' Colour Info Display: Adjust the alert
sensitivity in the settings of the active safety brake in the vehicle
personalisation 3 107.
The chosen setting will remain until it is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 107.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react also to other objects.In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen or the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking Active emergency braking can help to
reduce 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 or the front pedestrian protection
alert.Forward collision alert 3 170
Front pedestrian protection 3 175
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 107. If deactivated, m
illuminates in the instrument cluster and a warning message is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre.
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.

Driving and operating173The 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 in the range between
3 mph and 53 mph. With radar sensor
and front camera active emergency
braking operates in forward gear in the range between 3 mph and87 mph.
A precondition is that forward collision alert with front camera system is not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu and the seat
belts of the front passengers are
fastened 3 107.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking ● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash. If active emergency
braking is applied, m flashes in the
instrument cluster. Depending on the
situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or
hard. Front automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle ahead is
detected. On vehicles with front
pedestrian protection, front automatic
braking can also occur when a
pedestrian ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert 3 170
Front pedestrian protection 3 175Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, emergency automatic
braking may engage the electric
parking brake to hold the vehicle at a
stop. To release press the electric
parking brake button or firmly press
the accelerator pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to the brake preparation
system and emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing

176Driving and operatingForward collision alert 3 170.
Detecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead up to a distance
of approx. 40 m is indicated by a
symbol in the instrument cluster.
Front pedestrian alert When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided.
Cruise control or adaptive cruise
control may be disengaged when the
front pedestrian alert occurs.
System limitations In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or sensor
performance is limited:
● vehicle speed is out of range from
3 mph to 37 mph in forward gear
● the distance to an pedestrian ahead is more than 40 m
● driving on winding or hilly roads● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen or the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Parking assist
General information
When attaching a trailer or bicycle
carrier to the trailer hitch, the parking
assist is deactivated.9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
Rear parking assist
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals and display
indication against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
50 cm while reverse gear is engaged.
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
Rear parking assist is activated when reverse gear is engaged and ignition
is switched on.

178Driving and operatingActivation
In addition to the rear parking assist,
the front parking assist is triggered
when an obstacle is detected in front
and the speed of the vehicle is below 6 mph.
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the parking assist button
¼ is not illuminated.
When the system is deactivated, the
LED in the button illuminates.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle and behind the vehicle.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Info
Display 3 102.
If the vehicle stops for more than
3 seconds in a forward gear, if
automatic transmission is in P or if no
further obstacles are detected, no
acoustic warning signals are given.
