Actions
in
the
event
of
a
flat
tire
Normal
tires1.Identify the damaged tire.
Check the air pressure in all four tires, e.g.
using the tire pressure gage of a tire repair kit.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have
been initialized. In this case, initialize the
system.
If identification of flat tire damage is not
possible, please contact a dealer

Safety
informationWARNING
Indicators and warnings do not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility. Due to
system limits, warnings or reactions of the sys~
tem may not be output or they may be output too late or incorrectly. There is a risk of an acci~dent. Adjust the driving style to the traffic con~
ditions. Watch traffic closely and actively inter~
vene in the respective situations. '

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 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.

System
limits
Safety
information WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not at
all due to the system limits. There is a risk of ac~
cidents or risk of property damage. Observe the
information regarding the system limits and ac~ tively intervene, if needed. '

Warning
with
braking
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 signalsounds.
Intervene immediately by braking or
make an evasive maneuver.
Braking
intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brak~ ing force is used. Premise for the brake booster
is sufficiently quick and sufficiently hard step~ ping on the brake pedal. The system can assistwith some braking intervention if there is risk of
a collision. At low speeds vehicles may thus come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: During a braking inter~
vention up to a complete stop, the engine may be shut down.
The braking intervention is executed only if ve~ hicle stability has not been restricted, e.g. by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Control.
The braking intervention can be interrupted bystepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restric~ tions are to be considered.

braking. Depressing the accelerator pedal also
interrupts automatic braking.
Concept In the event of an accident, the system canbring the vehicle to a halt automatically with~
out intervention by the driver in certain situa~
tions. This can reduce the risk of a further colli~
sion and the consequences thereof.
At
standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released au~
tomatically. Secure the vehicle against rolling.
Harder
vehicle
braking
It can be necessary to bring the vehicle in cer~
tain situations to a halt quicker.
Here, a higher braking pressure must be gener~
ated for a short period when pressing the brake pedal than during automatic braking. This in~
terrupts automatic braking.
Interrupting
automatic
braking It can be necessary to interrupt automatic brak~ing in certain situations, e.g., for an evasive ma~
neuver.
