Acute
warning
with
evasion
support
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.
If an acute warning is issued, intervene in the
situation yourself. If there is a risk of collision, the driver's evasive maneuvers are supportedby the system.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.

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.

function
Display
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.
The red symbol is displayed and a sigj
nal sounds.
If the vehicle is equipped accordingly, a red warning triangle alternatively lightsup in the instrument cluster.
Intervene immediately by braking or make an
evasive maneuver.
Braking
intervention
The warning prompts the driver to react. Durj
ing a warning, the maximum braking force is
used when the brake is actuated. 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 also 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 funcjtional restrictions.
