Front-end collision warning
with City Braking function
The concept The ystem can help prevent accidents. If an
accident cannot be prevented, the system will help reduce the collision speed.
The system sounds a warning before an immi‐
nent collision and actuates brakes independ‐
ently if needed.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
A camera in the area of the rearview mirror controls the system.
The front-end collision warning is available
even if cruise control has been deactivated.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally the collision warning is delayed
avoiding false alarm.

danger of collision at speeds from approx.
3 mph/5 km/h. Time of warnings may vary with
the current driving situation.

35 mph/60 km/h.Detection range

tute for the driver's personal judgment of the
traffic situation.

cle's surroundings at all times, otherwise acci‐
dents are still possible despite all warnings.◀
Adapting your speed and driving style
The displays and warnings of the system
do not relieve the driver of the responsibility to
adapt his or her driving speed and style to the
traffic conditions.◀
Be alert
Due to system limitations, warnings may
be not issued at all, or may be issued late or
improperly. Therefore, always be alert and
ready to intervene; otherwise, there is the risk
of an accident.◀

tions of the individual braking systems might
