Side
collision
mitigation
Concept The
system
helps
to
avoid
imminent
side
collijsions.
General
information
Four
radar
sensors
in
the
bumpers
monitor
the
space
next
to
the
vehicle
from
a
minimum
speed
of
up
to
approx.
130
mph/210
km/h.
The
minimum
speed
is
country-specific
and
is
displayed
in
the
menu
for
the
intelligent
Safety
systems.
The
front
camera
determines
the
lane
marking
positions.
If,
for
instance
another
vehicle
is
detected
next
to the
vehicle
and
if
there
is
a
risk
of
collision
with
this
vehicle,
the
system
helps
avoid
the
collision.
For
this
purpose,
the
system
issues
a
warning
with
a
flashing
LED
in
the
exterior
mirror
and
a
vij brating
steering
wheel.
If
necessary,
the
system
will
carry
out
an
active
steering
intervention.

Data
protection
The

is
contingent
upon
the

of
the

The
user
is
responsible
for
the
use
of

and
compliance
with
the
respective regulations.
The
manufacturer
of
the

recommends
confirming
there
are
no
statutory
or

constraints
on
use
of

in
your
state
or country
prior
to
the
initial

In

especially
when

m
iBrake
Concept
In
the
event
of
an
accident,
the
system
can
bring
the
vehicle
to
a
halt
automatically
without
interj
vention
by
the
driver
in
certain
situations.
This
can
reduce
the
risk
of
a
further
collision
and
the
consequences
thereof.
At
standstill After
coming
to
a
halt,
the
brake
is
released
autoj
matically.
Harder
vehicle
braking
In
certain
situations,
it
can
be
necessary
to
bring the
vehicle
to
a
halt
more
quickly
than
the
BrakeAssistant
allows.
To
do
this,
quickly
apply
extra
force
to
the
brake. For
a
brief
period,
the
braking
pressure
will
be
higher
than
the
braking
pressure
that
is
achieved by
the
automatic
braking
function.
Automatic
braking
is
interrupted.
Interrupting
automatic

It
can
be
necessary
to
interrupt
automatic
brakj
ing
in
certain
situations,
for
instance
for
an
evaj sive

Interrupt

'xBy

General
information
The
system
can
detect
decreasing
alertness
or
fatigue
of
the
driver
during
long,
monotonous trips,
for
instance
on
highways.
In
this
situation,
it
is
recommended
that
the
driver
takes
a
break.
Safety
information

An
increasing
lack
of

may
not
be
detected
or
not
be
detected
in

There
is
a

After
