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.'

function
Concept
The system 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 immij
nent collision and actuates brakes independj
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 approach control warning is available even if cruise control has been deactivated.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally, 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 imminentdanger of collision at speeds from approx.3 mph/5 km/h. Time of warnings may vary withthe 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.

Display
A warning symbol appears in the instrument
cluster and in the Head-up Display if a collision with a detected vehicle is imminent.
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

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.'

The system sounds a warning before an immij
nent collision and actuates brakes independj
ently if needed.
The automatic braking intervention may be
executed with maximum braking force and for a brief period only as necessary.
If the vehicle is equipped with Active Cruise
Control with Stop&Go, the front-end collision
warning is controlled via the cruise control raj
dar sensor in conjunction with a camera.
The front-end collision warning is availableeven if cruise control has been deactivated.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally, the collision warning and braking
are delayed in order to avoid false system rej actions.
General
information
The system issues a two-phase warning of a
possible danger of collision with vehicles at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. Time of warnings may vary with the current driving sitjuation.
Detection
range
Objects that the system can detect are taken into account.

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. Premise for the brake boosj ter is sufficiently quick and hard stepping onthe brake pedal. The system can assist withautomatic braking intervention if there is risk of
a collision. The intervention can bring the vehij
cle to a complete stop.
The braking intervention is executed only if vej
hicle stability has not been restricted, e.g. by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Conj
trol.
Above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h the braking
intervention occurs as a brief braking pressure.
No automatic delay occurs.
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. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restricj
tions are to be considered.

Safety
information WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not

accidents or risk of property damage. Observe the information regarding the system limits
and actively intervene, if needed.'

The function is subdivided into the following
systems:'yDuring daytime:
Pedestrian warning with city braking funcj
tion, refer to page 128'yAt night: Night vision, refer to page 130
Pedestrian
warning
with
Approach
control
Concept
The system can help prevent accidents with
pedestrians.
When driving at city speeds, the system will isj sue a warning if there is imminent danger of a
collision with pedestrians and includes a brakj
ing function.
The camera in the area of the rearview mirror
controls the system.
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.'
