If th e driver still does not respond tothewa rning,
th eBeginning emergency stop message appears
in the Instrument Displa y.Ifth e driver still does
not respond, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
re duces the speed. The vehicle is decelerated in

When theve hicle is stationar y,thefo llowing

R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is ended.
R The vehicle is unloc ked.
R If possible, an emer gency call is placed tothe

Ac tive Brake Assist can help youto minimise the
ri sk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedes-
trians or toreduce the e.ects of such a collision.
If Ac tive Brake Assist has de tected a risk of colli-
sion, a warning tone sounds and theL dis-

:depending on the coun-
tr y, an additional haptic warning occurs in the
fo rm of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat
belt.
If yo u do not react tothewa rning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist
can initiate autonomous braking directl y.In this
case, thewa rning lamp and warning tone occur
simultaneously with the braking application.
If yo u apply the brake yourself in a critical situa-
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak-
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up tomaxi-
mum full-s top braking if necessar y.
