If a prewarning is provided,
respond by braking as war-
ranted.
An acute warning is displayed in
case of the imminent danger of
a collision when the vehicle
approaches another object at a
high differential speed.
Intervene in the case of an
acute warning. Depending on
the driving situation and the
equipment version, the acute
warning may be accompanied
by a brief activation of the brak-
ing system.
With the warning time setting
"late" the brief activation of the
braking system is omitted.
If an acute warning is provided,
the system may also provide
assistance, such as through
braking, when there is risk of
collision.
Acute warnings may be pro-
vided even when there has been
no prior warning.
The warning prompts the driver
to intervene. When the brake
pedal is pressed quickly and
hard, the maximum braking
force of the vehicle is used.
The system may also assist in braking if there is a risk of colli-
sion.
When the vehicle is traveling at
a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a
brake intervention up to a com-
plete stop, the engine may be
shut down.
City brake function: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.
With radar sensor: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h.
At speeds above approx. 130
mph/210 km/h, the braking inter-
vention occurs as a brief braking
pressure. No automatic delay
occurs.
The driver may interrupt the
braking intervention function by
stepping on the accelerator
pedal or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
The system’s ability to detect
objects may be limited in some
circumstances. Refer to the
information in this Owner’s Man-
ual regarding the limitations of
the system and actively inter-
vene as warranted.

The system can help prevent
accidents involving pedestrians
and cyclists. In the event of an
accident, the system may
reduce impact speed. The sys-
tem sounds a warning in the city
speed range before an imminent
collision and activates brakes
independently, if needed.
The system issues a warning of
a possible risk of collision with
pedestrians and cyclists at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5
km/h.
The system reacts to pedestri-
ans and cyclists who are within
the detection range of the sys-
tem.
Depending on the equipment
version, the system is controlled
by the following sensors:
Camera in the area of the
interior mirror.
Radar sensor in the front bumper.
The detection area in front of the
vehicle is divided into two areas:
Central area, arrow 1, directly
in front of the vehicle.
Expanded area, arrows 2, to
the right and left of the central
area.
A collision is imminent if pedes-
trians are located within the cen-
tral area. A warning is issued
about pedestrians who are
located within the extended area
only if they are moving in the
direction of the central area.

The warning prompts the driver
to intervene. When the brake
pedal is pressed quickly and
hard, the maximum braking
force of the vehicle is used.
If there is a risk of collision, the
system may also assist with
brake intervention.
When the vehicle is traveling at
a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a
brake intervention up to a com-
plete stop, the engine may be
shut down.
The braking intervention can be
interrupted by stepping on the
accelerator pedal with sufficient
force or by actively moving the
steering wheel.The system responds to pedes-
trians and cyclists when the
speed of the vehicle is below
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.
The system's detection potential
is limited.
Thus, a warning might not be
issued or be issued late.
The following situations may not
be detected, for instance:
Partially covered pedestrians.
Pedestrians that are not
detected as such because of
the viewing angle or contour.
Pedestrians outside of the
detection range.
Pedestrians having a body
size less than 32 in/80 cm.

The system is designed to oper-

the consequences thereof.
After coming to a halt, the brake
is released automatically.
It can be necessary to bring the
vehicle in certain situations to a
halt quicker.
To do this, for a short time the
braking pressure applied when
stepping on the brake pedal
must be higher than the braking
pressure achieved by the auto-
matic braking function. This
interrupts automatic braking.
It can be necessary to interrupt
automatic braking in certain situ-
ations, for instance for an eva-
sive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:
By pressing the brake pedal.
By pressing the accelerator
pedal.
The system can detect decreas-
ing alertness or fatigue of the
driver during long, monotonous trips, for instance on highways.
In this situation, it is recom-
mended that the driver takes a
break.
The system is switched on each
time drive-ready state is
switched on.
After travel has begun, the sys-
tem monitors certain aspects of
the driver's behavior, so that
decreasing alertness or fatigue
can be detected.
This procedure takes the follow-
ing criteria into account:
Personal driving style, for
instance steering behavior.
Driving conditions, for
instance length of trip.
Starting at approx. 43 mph/70
km/h, the system is active and
can also display a recommenda-
tion to take a break.
