Distance Warning*
04
186* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
display as 1-5 horizontal lines
- the more lines the longer the
time interval. One line corre-
sponds to approximately
1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approx-
imately 2.5 seconds.
The number of lines for the
selected time interval is
shown during the setting itself
and for several seconds after-
wards. Then a smaller scale
version of the symbol is
shown to the right of the dis-
play. The same symbol is also shown when
adaptive cruise control is activated.
NOTE
The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a specific time
interval.
The set time interval is also used by the
adaptive cruise control function, see
page 177.
Only use the time interval that is allowed in
accordance with local traffic regulations.
Limitations
The function uses the same radar sensor as
adaptive cruise control and the collision warn-ing system. For more information on the radar
sensor and its limitations, see page 181.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing
sunglasses, could mean that the warning
light in the windscreen cannot be seen.
Poor weather or winding roads could affect
the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi-
cles in front.
The size of other vehicles could also affect
detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This
could mean that the warning lamp illumi-
nates at a shorter distance than the setting
or that the warning is temporarily absent.
Extremely high speeds can also cause the
lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than
that set due to limitations in sensor range.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection*
04
194* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Activating/deactivating warning signalsThe warning lamp is activated automatically
when the engine is started if the system is
switched on.
The warning sound can be activated/deacti-
vated separately using the options for
On orOff in the menu system MY CAR under
Settings
Car settingsDriving support
systems
Warning sound if risk of
collision.
Set warning distanceThe warning distance regulates the distance at
which the visual and acoustic warnings are
deployed. Select one of the options from
Long, Normal or Short in the menu system
MY CAR under Settings
Car settings
Driving support systemsCollision
Warning
Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the system's
sensitivity. Warning distance
Long provides an
earlier warning. First test with Long and if this
setting produces too many warnings, which
could be perceived as irritating in certain sit-
uations, then change to warning distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance
Short in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use
the warning lamp and warning sound will be
used by the cruise control even if the colli-
sion warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns the
driver in the event of a risk of a collision, but
the function cannot shorten driver reaction
time.
In order for the collision warning system to
be effective, always drive with the Distance
Alert set at time interval 4 – 5. see
page 185.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set toLong warnings could be perceived as being
late in certain situations, e.g. when there are
large differences in speed or if vehicles in
front brake heavily.
Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled on the
centre console display screen. Search with the
menu system MY CAR under Settings
Car
settings
Driving support systems
Collision Warning, see page 144.
Limitations
The collision warning system is active from and
including approx. 4 km/h.
The visual warning signal may be difficult to
notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflec-
tions, when sunglasses are being worn or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead. The warn-
ing sound should therefore always be acti-
vated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance
is extended, which may reduce the capacity to
avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS
and DSTC systems will provide best possible
braking force with maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarily
disengaged in the event of high passenger
compartment temperature caused by
strong sunlight for example. If this occurs
then the warning sound is activated even if
it is deactivated in the menu system.
•Warnings may not appear if the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is small or if
steering wheel and pedal movements
are large, e.g. a very active driving style.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.195
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could be
implemented late or not at all if the traffic
situation or external influences mean that
the radar or camera sensor cannot detect a
pedestrian or a vehicle in front correctly.
The sensor system has a limited range for
pedestrians and the system therefore pro-
vides effective warnings and brake inter-
ventions at vehicle speeds up to 50 km/h.
For stationary or slow-moving vehicles,
warnings and brake interventions are effec-
tive at vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h.
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles could be disengaged due to dark-
ness or poor visibility.
The collision warning system uses the same
radar sensors as adaptive cruise control. For
more information on the radar sensor and its
limitations, see page 181.
If warnings are perceived as being too frequent
or disturbing then the warning distance can be
reduced. This would lead to the system warn-
ing at a later stage, which reduces the total
number of warnings.
When the car is reversing Collision Warning
with Auto Brake cannot be activated.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti-
vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which iswhy the system does not intervene in situations
where the car is approaching a vehicle in front
very slowly, e.g. when parking.
Driver commands are always prioritised, which
is why Collision Warning with Auto Brake does
not intervene in situations where the driver is
steering, braking or accelerating in a clear
manner, even if a collision is unavoidable.
When Auto Brake has prevented a collision
with a stationary object the car remains sta-
tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the car
is braked for a vehicle in front that is moving,
then speed is reduced to the same speed as
that maintained by the vehicle in front.
On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops
when Auto Brake has stopped the car, unless
the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal
beforehand.
Camera sensor limitationsThe car's camera sensor is used by the three
functions - Collision Warning with Auto Brake,
Driver Alert Control, see page 199 and Lane
Departure Warning, see page 202.
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor clean from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
Do not attach or fit anything to the wind-
screen in front of the camera sensor, as this
could reduce or prevent the function of one
or more camera-dependent systems.
The camera sensors have limitations similar to
the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in dark-
ness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick fog for
example. Under such conditions the functions
of camera-dependent systems could be sig-
nificantly reduced or temporarily disengaged.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty
road surfaces or unclear lane markings could
also significantly reduce camera sensor func-
tion when it is used to scan the carriageway
and detect pedestrians and other vehicles.
During very high temperatures the camera is
temporarily switched off for about 15 minutes
after the engine is started in order to protect
camera functionality.
