ing intervention may not occur but rather a warn-
ing may be given on the steering wheel, depend-

erate.
= If a driving safety system intervenes, such as
ESP n
, Active Brake Assist or Active Blind Spot
Assist.
= You have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of acceler-
ation.
= If transport equipment, forexample a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established.
The system may be impaired or may not function
particularly in the following situations:
= If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuPcient
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray. =
If t here is glare, e.g. from oncoming traPc, the
sun or reOections.
= If there is dirt on the windscreen in the vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
= If there is dirt on the bumper in the area of the
radar sensors, or if they are damaged or cov-
ered.
= If there are no lane markings, or several
unclear lane markings are present for one
lane, e.g. around roadworks.
= If the lane markings are worn, dark or cov-
ered.
= If the distance to the vehicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be
detected.

Pedestrian braking function
% This function is only available in vehicles with-
out t
he Parking Package. Vehicles with the Parking Package are equipped with manoeu-
vr
ing assistant functions ( page 289).
The pedestrian braking function can prevent colli-
sions wit
h pedestrians when the vehicle is revers-
ing at slow speeds. If the reversing camera
detects a person in the vehicle path, the vehicle
can be braked to a standstill.
The pedestrian braking function can intervene
under the following conditions:
= The vehicle is reversing at a speed below
15 km/h.
= The camera image is shown in the central dis-
play.
The function is automatically active when the
reversing camera is switched on and cannot be
deactivated separately (  page 279).
If automatic braking is triggered, the following
symbol appears in red in the camera image: %
If the function is not available, the same sym-
bol appear

s in grey.
The pedestrian braking function is only an aid. It is
no
t a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no per-
sons, animals or objects etc. are in the manoeu-
vring range. &
WARNING Risk of accident caused b
y limi-
ted detection of the pedestrian braking
function
The pedestrian braking function cannot always
clear
ly detect people. Other obstacles are not
detected by the function.
In these cases, the function may brake unnec-
essarily or not brake at all. 
Always pay careful attention to the tr
aPc
situation; do not rely on the pedestrian
braking function alone. 
Be ready to brake. Driving and parking
