warning
Concept
The

of
an

the
system
may

The
system
sounds
a
warning
in
the
city
speed range
before

is
controlled
by
the

and
junctions,
a
warning
is
isj
sued
when
a
danger
of
collision
with
crossing
traffic
is
detected.
The
system
issues
a
two-phase
warning
of
a possible
risk
of
collision
with
vehicles
at
speeds
above
approx.
6

The
timing
of warnings
may
vary
with
the
current
driving
situaj

Detection
range
The
system's
detection
potential
is
limited.
Thus,
a
system
reaction
might
not
come
or might
come
late.
The
following
situations
may
not
be
detected,
for
instance:
'xCrossing
vehicles
when
they
are
hidden
by
buildings,
for
instance.'xVehicles
that
suddenly
swerve
in
front
of
you,
or
sharply
decelerating
vehicles.'xCrossing
bicycles.'xVehicles
with
an
unusual
side
appearance.
Functional
limitations
The
system
may
not
be
fully
functional
in
the
folj
lowing
situations:
'xIn
heavy
fog,
wet
conditions,
or
snowfall.'xIn
tight
curves.'xIf
the
driving
stability
control
systems
are
limj
ited
or
deactivated,
for
instance
DSC
OFF.'xIf
the
field
of
view
of
the
camera
or
the
windj shield
is
dirty
or
covered
in
the
area
of
the
inj
terior
mirror.'xIf
the
camera
has
overheated
and
been
temj
porarily
switched
off
due
to
excessively
high
temperatures.'xIf
the
radar
sensors
are
dirty
or
covered.'xUp
to
10
seconds
after
the
start
of
the
engine
via
the
Start/Stop
button.'xDuring
calibration
of
the
camera
immediately
after
vehicle
delivery.'xIf
there
are
constant
blinding
effects
because
of
oncoming
light,
for
instance
from
the
sun low
in
the
sky.
Attaching
any
objects
such
as
stickers
or
film
in
the
beam
area
of
the
radar
sensors
will
also
imj pact
the
function
of
the
radar
sensors
and
mayeven
cause
them
to
fail.
Warning
sensitivity The
more
sensitive
the
warning
settings
are,
for
example
the
warning
time,
the
more
warnings
are
displayed.
Therefore,
there
may
also
be
an
exj cess
of
premature
or
unjustified
warnings
and

Person
warning
with
City braking
function
Concept
The
system
may
prevent
some
accidents
involvj ing
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
In
the
event
of
an
accident,
the
system
may
reduce
impact
speed.
The
system
sounds
a
warning
in
the
city
speedrange
before
an
imminent
collision
and
activates
brakes
independently,
if
needed.
General
information 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
pedestrians
and
cyclists
who
are
within
the
detection
range
of
the
sysj tem.
Depending
on
the
equipment
version,
the
sysj
tem
is
controlled
by
the
following
sensors:
'xCamera
in
the
area
of
the
interior
mirror.'xRadar

1,
directly
in
front
of
the
vehicle.'xExpanded
area,
arrow
2,
to
the
right
and
left of
the
central
area.
A

is
imminent
if
pedestrians
are
located
within
the
central
area.
A

issued
about pedestrians
who
are
located
within
the
extended
area
only
if
they
are
moving
in
the
direction
of
the central
area.
