If an accident is de tected, the post-collision brake
can implement automatic braking. When theve hi-

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available without
active route guidance. Not all information and
tra1c situations can be fore seen. The quality
depends on theav ailable map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
fo rke eping a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed and for braking in good
time. You must be ready tobrake at all times ir re-
specti veof whe ther the system is active.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsu1cient
