Concept
The system can help prevent accidents. If an acj
cident cannot be prevented, the system will help reduce the collision speed.
The system sounds a warning before an immij nent collision and activates brakes independj
ently, if needed.
Seite 161SafetyCONTROLS161
Online Edition for Part no. 01402989448 - II/18

The automatic braking intervention is done with
limited force and duration.
A camera in the area of the interior mirror conj
trols the system.
The approach control warning is available even if
cruise control has been deactivated.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle inj
tentionally, the approach control warning and
braking are delayed in order to avoid false sysj
tem reactions.
General
information The system warns at two levels of an imminent
danger of collision at speeds from approx.
3 mph/5 km/h. Time of warnings may vary with
the current driving situation.
Appropriate braking kicks in at speeds of up to
35 mph/60 km/h.
Detection
range
Objects that the system can detect are taken
into account.

Prewarning
This warning is issued, for instance when there is
the impending danger of a collision or the disj tance to 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

sisted by a minor automatic braking intervention
in a possible risk of collision.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.
Braking
interventionThe warning prompts the driver to react. During
a warning, the maximum braking force is used.
Prerequisite for the brake booster is sufficiently quick and hard stepping on the brake pedal. If
there is a risk of collision, the system may assist with braking. When the vehicle is traveling at a
low speed, the vehicle may come to a complete
stop.
The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle stability has not been restricted, for instance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Control.
The driver may cancel the braking intervention
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj
tively moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Follow the limitations of the detection range and functionalrestrictions.
System

rectly, or without justification due to the system limits. There is a risk of accidents or risk ofdamage to property. Follow the information rejgarding the system limits and actively interveneif needed.
Detection
range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or might come late.
E.g., the following situations may not be dej tected:
'xSlow moving vehicles when you approach them at high speed.'xVehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,
or sharply decelerating vehicles.'xVehicles with an unusual rear appearance.'xTwo-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
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 dej activated, for instance DSC OFF.'xIf the field of view of the camera in the mirroris dirty or obscured.'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.
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 rej
actions.

The camera in the area of the interior mirror conjtrols the system.
General
information With sufficient brightness, the system warnsabout possible collision danger with pedestriansstarting at approx. 6 mph/10 km/h to approx.35 mph/60 km/h and assists with braking beforea 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 divj ided into two areas:
'xCentral area, arrow 1, directly in front of the
vehicle.'xExpanded area, arrow 2, to the right and left of the central area.

Alertness
assistant
Concept
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
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driverss personal judgment in assessing one's physical state. An increasing lack of alertness orfatigue may not be detected or not be detectedin time. There is a risk of an accident. Make
sure that the driver is rested and alert. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions.
Function
The system is switched on each time the engine
is started and cannot be switched off.
After travel has begun, the system monitors cerj
tain aspects of the driver's behavior, so that dej
creasing alertness or fatigue can be detected.
Seite 169SafetyCONTROLS169
Online Edition for Part no. 01402989448 - II/18

This procedure takes the following criteria intoaccount:'xPersonal driving style, for instance steeringbehavior.'xDriving conditions, for instance length of trip.
Starting at approximately 43 mph/70 km/h, the
system is active and can display a recommendaj tion to take a break.
Break
recommendation If the driver becomes less alert or fatigued, amessage is displayed in the Control Display withthe recommendation to take a break.
A recommendation to take a break is displayed only once during an uninterrupted trip.
After a break, another recommendation to take a
break cannot be displayed until after approxij mately 45 minutes.
System
limits
The function may be limited in the following sitj
uations, for instance and will either output an inj
correct warning or no warning at all:
'xWhen the clock is set incorrectly.'xWhen the vehicle speed is mainly below
about 43 mph/70 km/h.'xWith a sporty driving style, such as during
rapid acceleration or when cornering fast.'xIn active driving situations, such as when
changing lanes frequently.'xWhen the road surface is poor.'xIn the event of strong side winds.
The system is reset approx. 45 minutes after parking the vehicle, for instance in the case of a
break during longer trips on highways.
PostCrash
m
iBrake
Concept In the event of an accident, the system can bringthe vehicle to a halt automatically without interj
vention by the driver in certain situations. Thiscan reduce the risk of a further collision and the
consequences thereof.
Harder
vehicle
braking
It can be necessary to bring the vehicle in certain
situations to a halt quicker.
To do this, for a short time the braking pressure
applied when stepping on the brake pedal must
be higher than the braking pressure achieved by
the automatic braking function. This interrupts
automatic braking.
Interrupting
automatic
braking
It can be necessary to interrupt automatic brakj
ing in certain situations, for example for an evaj
sive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:'xBy pressing the brake pedal.'xBy pressing the accelerator pedal.
At
standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released autoj matically.
