132Driving and operatingOn vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates from
3 mph to 87 mph when a vehicle has
been detected.
Active emergency braking only works when the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened.
The 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 3 134
Front pedestrian protection 3 136
Below a speed of 19 mph, emergency automatic braking may slow down thevehicle to a complete stop. If the
speed exceeds 19 mph, 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.

134Driving and operating● before using an automatic carwash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged

Fault
In case the system requires a service, a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the system does not work properly,
vehicle messages are displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 75.
Forward collision alert The forward collision alert may help toavoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera in the windscreen and
depending on the vehicle
configuration a radar unit located
behind the front bumper to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in the path.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime sounds and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
9 Warning
The usage of a license plate
support may have an impact on
the proper operation of the radar
unit and may limit sensor
perfomance. Vehicles driving
ahead, pedestrians or other

Driving and operating135objects located in front of the
vehicle may not be detected by the
system.
Do not use a license plate support on the front bumper to ensure
proper system functionality.
Activation
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational
speed ranges.
On vehicles equipped only with front camera, the forward collision alert
operates from 3 mph to 50 mph when
a vehicle has been detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the forward
collision alert operates from 3 mph to
87 mph when a vehicle has been
detected.
Alerting the driver
The driver is warned by following
alerts:
● Symbol , and a warning
message are displayed in the
Driver Information Center, when
the distance to the vehicle ahead
gets to small.
● Symbol , and a warning

warn on vehicles, but may react also to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow● the sensor in the windscreen orthe radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Front pedestrian protection Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused
by front-end crashes with pedestrians when driving forward.The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and depending on the vehicle configuration a radar unit inthe front bumper to detect a
pedestrian directly ahead in the path.9 Warning
The usage of a license plate
support may have an impact on

Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintended leaving of the
lane. The front camera observes road
edges, as well as the lane markings
between which the vehicle is driving.
If the vehicle approaches a road edge or a lane marking, the steering wheel
is gently turned to position so that the
vehicle turns back into the lane. The
driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn steering wheel in same direction, if
the system does not steer sufficiently.
Turn steering wheel gently into
opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, L flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.

154Driving and operating9Warning
The system cannot replace the
need for vigilance on the part of
the driver. Taking a break is
recommended as soon as feeling tired or at least every 2 hours. Do
not drive when feeling tired.
Activation or Deactivation
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 76.
The state of the system stays in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Driving time alert
The driver gets notified by a pop-up reminder symbol € in the Driver
Information Centre simultaneously
with an acoustic alert if the driver has
not taken a break after 2 hours of
driving at a speed above 40 mph. The alert is repeated hourly until the
vehicle is stopped, no matter how
vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is
reset when the ignition has been
switched off for a few minutes.
Driver drowsiness detection The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance at speeds above 40 mph.
A camera at the top of the windscreen detects variations in trajectory
compared to the lane markings.
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert. The driver is notified by
a message and an audible signal is
given.
After three first level alerts, the
system triggers a new alert with a message, accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor
road surface or strong winds), the
system may give alerts independent
of the driver's level of vigilance.The driver drowsiness detection is
reinitialised when the ignition has
been switched off for a few minutes or the speed remains below 40 mph for
a few minutes.
System limitations
In the following situations, the system
may not operate properly or even not operate at all:
● poor visibility caused by inadequate lighting of the
roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog etc.
● dazzle caused by headlamps of an oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads,
leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light etc.
● windscreen area in front of the camera covered by dirt, snow,
stickers etc.
● no lane markings detected or multiple lane markings due to
roadworks
● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roads
