Driving and operating133The system includes:● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● smart brake assist
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the instrument
cluster.Emergency automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert 3 135
Front pedestrian protection 3 137
Below a speed of 30 km/h,
emergency automatic braking may
slow down the vehicle to a complete
stop. If the speed exceeds 30 km/h,
emergency automatic braking
reduces the speed. However, the
driver must apply the brake.
Emergency automatic braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash.
● Automatic transmission: If the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, automatic braking is
maintained for up to two
seconds. Keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle
from starting off again.
● Manual transmission: If the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt
by a slight vibration in the brake
pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Smart brake assist
Smart brake assist provides a boost
to braking when the brake pedal is quickly applied. The braking is based on the speed of approach and
distance to a vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.

142Driving and operatingAdvanced parking assist provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
● entry into a parallel parking slot
● entry into a perpendicular parking
slot
● exit from a parallel parking slot
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically. The
driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
Instructions are given in the Info
Display 3 75.
Advanced parking assist can only be activated when driving forwards.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist.
The system has six ultrasonic parking
sensors each in both the rear and
front bumper.
Entry into a parallel parking slot

the turn light on the respective side.
The allowed parallel distance
between the vehicle and a row of
parked cars is between 0.5 m and
1.5 m.
The system will not identify slots that are clearly smaller or larger than the
vehicle.
When a free slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Info Display and a
first acoustic signal are given. Drive
slowly forwards. When the second
acoustic signal is given, stop the
vehicle, select reverse gear, release
the steering wheel and start moving
slowly. A visual feedback is given on
the Info Display.

To search for a parking slot, activate
the system in the Info Display 3 75.
Select the perpendicular parking slot
menu.
Select parking side by switching on
the turn light on the respective side.
The allowed parallel distance
between the vehicle and a row of
parked cars is between 0.5 m and 1.5 m.
When several successive slots are found, the vehicle will be directedtowards the last one.
When a free slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Info Display and an
acoustic signal are given. Stop the
vehicle, select reverse gear, release
the steering wheel and start moving
without exceeding 7 km/h.
Move forwards and backwards as
instructed by observing the warnings
of the parking assist and paying
attention to the acoustic signals until
the end of manoeuvre is indicated.
