This may result in the warning not being issued
or being issued late.
For example, the following situations may not be
detected:
▷Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.▷Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you
or sharply decelerating vehicles.▷Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.▷Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowfall.▷In tight curves.▷If the camera view field or the front wind‐
shield are dirty or covered.▷When driving toward bright lights.▷In the case of vehicles with insufficiently visi‐
ble tail lamps.▷In the case of partially covered vehicles.▷Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine, via the Start/Stop knob.▷During the calibration process of the camera
immediately after vehicle shipment.
Prewarning sensitivity

Collision warning with
braking function
The concept
The system issues a warning if there is imminent
danger of a collision and also includes a braking
function.
If the vehicle is equipped with Active Cruise
Control with Stop & Go, the collision warning is
controlled via the cruise control radar sensor in
conjunction with a camera.
The collision warning is available even if cruise
control has been deactivated.
When the vehicle is intentionally brought into
contact with a vehicle, the collision warning is
delayed to avoid false warnings.
Detection range
Detection range
It responds to stationary or moving objects that
are within the detection range of the radar sys‐
tem.
General information
The system issues a two-phase warning of a
danger of collision at speeds above approx.
10 mph/15 km/h. The time of these warnings
may vary depending on the current driving sit‐
uation.

Warning stages
Prewarning
This warning is issued, for example, when there
is the impending danger of a collision or the dis‐
tance to the vehicle ahead is too small.
Acute warning with braking function
Warning of the imminent danger of a collision
when the vehicle approaches another object at
a relatively high differential speed.
The acute warning prompts the driver to inter‐
vene and, if there is the danger of a collision, is
accompanied by a braking intervention.
The braking intervention is executed with lim‐
ited braking force and for a brief period only. The
intervention will not bring the vehicle to a com‐
plete standstill.
The braking intervention is executed only if DSC
Dynamic Stability Control is switched on.
Adapting your speed and driving style
The acute warning does not relieve the
driver of the responsibility to adapt his or her
driving speed and style to the traffic condi‐
tions.◀
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
pressing on the accelerator or by actively mov‐
ing the steering wheel.
When towing or tow-starting the vehicle, switch
off the collision warning with braking function to
prevent undesired interventions.
The braking function is deactivated if the DSC
Dynamic Stability Control or DTC Dynamic
Traction Control is deactivated.
Display in the instrument cluster
The collision warning can be issued in the in‐
strument cluster, in the Head-up Display, and

Night Vision with pedestrian
detection
The concept
Night Vision with pedestrian detection is a night
vision system.
An infrared camera records the area in front of
the vehicle and issues a warning if it detects pe‐
destrians on the street. Warm objects that are
similar in shape to human beings are detected
by the system. If necessary, the heat image can
be displayed on the Control Display.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, peo‐
ple will be illuminated by a Light Spot or Dynamic
Light Spot so that they are more easibly visible.
Heat image
The image shows the heat radiated by objects
in the field of view of the camera.
Warm objects have a light appearance and cold
objects, a dark appearance.
The ability to detect an object depends on the
temperature difference between the object and
the background and on the level of heat radiation
emitted by the object. Objects that are similar in
temperature to the environment or that radiate
very little heat are difficult to detect.
For safety reasons, when driving at speeds
above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h and in low ambient
light, the image is only displayed when the low
beams are switched on.
A still image is displayed at regular intervals for
a fraction of a second.

Pedestrian detection
People detection and warning only functions in
darkness.
Warm objects that are similar in shape to human
beings are detected by the system.
With heat image activated on the Control Dis‐
play:
People detected by the system are displayed
with a slight yellow hue.
Under good ambient conditions, the pedestrian
detection system operates within a range of ap‐
prox. 50 ft/15 m to approx. 330 ft/100 m.
Environmental influences can limit the availabil‐
ity of pedestrian detection.
Notes Personal responsibility
Night Vision cannot replace the driver's
personal judgment of the visibility conditions
and the traffic situation. The view ahead and the
actual visibility conditions must always be the
basis on which the vehicle speed is adjusted;
otherwise, there is a risk to road safety.◀

Warning of people in danger
If a collision with a person detected in this way
is imminent, a warning symbol appears on the
instrument cluster and in the Head-up Display.
Although both the shape and the heat radiation
are analyzed, false warnings cannot be ruled out.
Warning area in front of the vehicle
The warning area in front of the vehicle is divided
into two areas.
▷Central area, arrow 1 directly in front of the
vehicle.▷Expanded area, arrow 2 to the right and left.
The entire area moves along with the vehicle in
the direction of the steering angle and changes
with the vehicle speed. As the vehicle speed in‐
creases, the area becomes longer and wider, for
example.
Prewarning The yellow symbol is displayed when a
person is detected in the central area,
arrow 1, immediately in front of the ve‐
hicle.
The yellow symbol is displayed when a person
in the extended area, arrow 2, is moving from the
right or left towards the central area.
The displayed symbol can vary with the people
detected.
Intervene actively by braking or making an eva‐
sive maneuver.
Acute warning The red symbol is displayed and a signal
sounds.
Intervene immediately by braking or
making an evasive maneuver.
Display in the Head-up Display The warning is displayed simultane‐
ously in the Head-Up Display and on the
instrument cluster. The displayed sym‐
bol can vary with the people detected.
System limits
Basic limits
System operation is limited in situations such as
the following:
▷On steep hills, in steep depressions or in
tight curves.Seite 116ControlsSafety116
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 916 693 - X/12

▷When the camera is dirty or the protective
glass is damaged.▷In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.▷At very high external temperatures.
Limits of pedestrian detection
Animals are not detected by the pedestrian de‐
tection function, even if they are clearly visible in
the image.
Limited pedestrian detection:
▷People who are fully or partially covered, es‐
pecially when their heads are covered.▷People who are not in an upright position,
e.g., lying down.▷Cyclists on unconventional bicycles (e.g.,
recumbent bicycles).▷After physical damage to the system, e.g.,
after an accident.
No display on the rear screen
The image from Night Vision with people detec‐
tion cannot be displayed on the rear screen.
Lane departure warning
The concept
Starting at a specific speed, this system alerts
you when the vehicle on streets with lane mark‐
ings is about to leave the lane. Depending on the
country-specific version of the vehicle, the
speed is between 35 mph/55 km/h and
45 mph/70 km/h. When switching on the system
below this speed, a message appears in the in‐
strument cluster.
The steering wheel begins vibrating gently in the
event of warnings. The time of the warning may
vary depending on the current driving situation.
The system does not provide a warning if the
turn signal is set before leaving the lane.
Notes
Personal responsibility
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the course
of the road and the traffic situation.
In the event of a warning, do not jerk the steering
wheel, as you may lose control of the vehicle.◀

ered with stickers, etc.▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.
Active Blind Spot Detection
The concept
Two radar sensors below the rear bumper mon‐
itor the area behind and next to the vehicle at
speeds above approx. 30 mph/50 km/h.
The system indicates whether there are vehicles
in the blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching from
behind on the adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights up
dimly.
Before you change lanes after setting the turn
signal, the system issues a warning in the situa‐
tions described above.
The lamp in the housing of the exterior mirror
flashes and the steering wheel vibrates.

Brake force display
The concept
▷During normal brake application, the outer
brake lamps light up.▷During heavy brake application, the inner
brake lamps light up in addition.
Active Protection
General information
The Active Protection safety package consists
of systems that are independent of each other:
▷Attentiveness assistant.▷PreCrash▷PostCrashAttentiveness assistant
The concept
If the becomes increasing less alert or shows
signs of fatigue, a recommendation to take a
break appears in the Control Display. This is
based on the driver's individual driving style,
e.g., steering behavior, or the driving conditions,
such as the time.
The system can detect increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue of the driver during long, monot‐
onous journeys, for example, on highways. In
this situation, it is recommended that the driver
take a break.
General information
The system is automatically activated every
time the engine is started.
Note Personal responsibility
The system cannot act as a substitute for
the personal assessment of one's physical state
and may not detect an increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue or may not detect it correctly.
Therefore, make sure that the driver is rested
and alert; otherwise, risks may be detected too
late and an accident be caused as a result.◀
Function
The system is activated each time the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
After travel has begun, the system is trained
about the driver, so that increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue can be detected.
This procedure takes the following criteria into
account:▷Personal driving style, for example, steering
behavior.▷Driving conditions, for example, length of
trip.Seite 120ControlsSafety120
