Display
If a collision with a vehicle detected in this way
is imminent, a warning symbol appears on the
instrument cluster.
SymbolMeasureSymbol lights up red: prewarning.
Brake and increase distance.Symbol flashes red and an acoustic signal sounds: acute warning.
You are requested to intervene by
braking or make an evasive maneuj
ver.
Prewarning
This warning is issued, e.g., when there is the impending danger of a collision or the distanceto the vehicle ahead is too small.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is a prewarning.
Acute
warning
with
braking
function
Acute warning is displayed in case of the immij nent danger of a collision when the vehicle apj
proaches another object at a high differential
speed.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is

assisted by a minor automatic braking interj
vention in a possible risk of collision.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.
Braking
intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself to react. During a warning, the maximum brakj
ing force is used. Prerequisite for the brake booster is sufficiently quick and hard steppingon the brake pedal. The system can assist withsome braking intervention if there is a risk of acollision. At low speeds vehicles may thus
come to a complete stop.
The braking intervention is executed only if vej
hicle stability has not been restricted, for inj
stance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Staj
bility Control.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj
tively moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Observe
the limitations of the detection range and funcj tional restrictions.
System
limits
Safety
information WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not
at all due to the system limits. There is a risk of
accidents or risk of property damage. Observe the information regarding the system limits
and actively intervene, if needed.'

General
information
With sufficient brightness, the system warns
about possible collision danger with pedesj trians starting at approx. 6 mph/10 km/h to apj
prox. 35 mph/60 km/h and assists with braking before a collision.
The system reacts to people who are within
the detection range of the system.
Detection
range
The detection area in front of the vehicle is divjided into two areas:
'yCentral area, arrow 1, directly in front of thevehicle.'yExpanded area, arrow 2, to the right and
left of the central area.
A collision is imminent if pedestrians are loj
cated within the central area. A warning is isj
sued about pedestrians who are located within the extended area only if they are moving inthe direction of the central area.
Safety
information WARNING
Indicators and warnings do not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility. Due to
system limits, warnings or reactions of the sysj
tem may not be output or they may be output
too late or incorrectly. There is a risk of an acj
cident. Adjust the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and activelyintervene in the respective situations.'

force
display
Concept
Additional brake lamps indicate emergency
braking to the traffic behind. This can reduce
the risk of a rear-end collision.
General
information
'yDuring normal braking or decelerating, thetop brake lights light up.'yDuring heavy brake application, the lower
brake lights additionally light up.
PostCrash
m
iBrake
Concept
In the event of an accident, the system can
bring the vehicle to a halt automatically without
intervention by the driver in certain situations.
This can reduce the risk of a further collision
and the consequences thereof.
Harder
vehicle
braking It can be necessary to bring the vehicle in cerj
tain situations to a halt quicker.
Here, a higher braking pressure must be genj
erated for a short period when pressing the brake pedal than during automatic braking.
This interrupts automatic braking.
Interrupting
automatic
braking It can be necessary to interrupt automatic
braking in certain situations, for example for an evasive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:'yBy pressing the brake pedal.'yBy pressing the accelerator pedal.

to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions

Anti-lock
Braking
System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during
braking.
The vehicle maintains its steering power even during full brake applications, thus increasing
active safety.
ABS is ready when vehicle is ready to drive.
Brake
assistantWhen you apply the brakes rapidly, this systemautomatically produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces the braking disj
tance to a minimum during emergency stop. This system utilizes all of the benefits provided
by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the emergency stop.
Energy
recovery General
information
In the event of danger, such as with locked
wheels, energy recovery is reduced in order to prevent unstable driving situations.Safety
information
WARNING
Without energy recovery, there is no
braking power of the electric motor available. The vehicle could roll further than anticipated.
There is a risk of an accident. Adjust the drivj

Concept
Using this system, a desired speed and a disj tance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted usingthe buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the desired speed on
clear roads. For this purpose, the vehicle acj
celerates or brakes automatically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle ahead is mainj
tained. The speed is adjusted as far as the given situation allows.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respecj tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and
then proceeds to drive again within a brief pej
riod, the system is able to detect this within the given system limits.
General
information
A camera on the interior rear view mirror is
used to detect vehicles driving ahead.Depending on the driving settings, the features of the cruise control can change in certain
areas.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sysj
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene in the rej
spective situations.'
