:depending on the coun-

fo rm of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat

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.
Obser vethe no tes on driving systems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 199). If autonomous braking or situation-dependent
braking assistance has occur
red, display 1
appears in the Instrument Display and then auto-
matically goes out aTer a short time.
If th e autonomous braking function or the situa-
tion-dependent braking assistance is triggered,
additional pr eventive measures for occupant pro-
te ction (PRE- SAFE®
