Warning with braking function
Display
If there is a risk of collision with a detected ve‐
hicle, a warning symbol is shown in the instru‐
ment cluster and in the Head-Up Display.SymbolMeasureSymbol illuminates red: advance
warning.
Increase braking and distance.Symbol flashes red and an acoustic
signal sounds: acute warning.
System indicates that you must
brake and/or manoeuvre the vehicle
yourself.
Advance warning
An advance warning is shown, for example if a
danger of collision is anticipated or there is a very short distance to a vehicle ahead.
The driver must intervene personally if there is
an advance warning.
Acute warning with braking function
An acute warning is shown in the event of an
immediate collision if the vehicle approaches
an object with relatively high differential speed.
The driver must intervene personally if there is
an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is as‐
sisted by slight automatic brake intervention if
there is a risk of collision.
An acute warning can be triggered even with‐
out a previous advance warning.
Brake interventionThe warning requires to take action yourself.
Maximum braking force is used during a warn‐
ing. In order for braking force support to be
used, it is necessary for the brake to be
pressed sufficiently quickly and powerfully. In
addition, the system may also support with a
small amount of braking if there is the risk of a

collision. The vehicle can be braked at low
speed until it comes to a stop.
Manual gearbox: When brakes are engaged
until it comes to a stop, the engine may shut
off.
There will only be brake intervention if Dy‐
namic Stability Control, DSC is activated and
M Dynamic Mode MDM is not activated.
Braking can be discontinued either by pressing
the accelerator pedal or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
Detection of objects can be restricted. Limita‐
tions of the detection range and functional re‐
strictions are to be considered.
System limits
Detection range
The detection ability of the system is limited.
For this reason, system responses may be
missing or delayed.
It is possible that the following are not detec‐
ted:▷Slow-moving vehicle when approaching at
high speed.▷Vehicles suddenly cutting in or decelerat‐
ing heavily.▷Vehicles with unusual rear view.▷Two-wheeled vehicles ahead.
Restrictions of the function
The function can be restricted, for example in
the following situations:
▷In thick fog, rain, spray or snowfall.▷On sharp bends.▷When restricting or deactivating vehicle
stability control systems, for example DSC
OFF.▷If the field of view of the camera in the mir‐
ror is soiled or covered.▷Up to 10 seconds after starting the engine
using the start/stop button.▷During the calibration process of the cam‐
era immediately after the vehicle is sup‐
plied.▷When there is sustained glare effect due to
light opposite, for example the sun low in
the sky.
Sensitivity of the warnings
The greater the sensitivity of the warning set‐
tings, for example warning time, the more
warnings will be displayed. As a result, there
may be an increased number of incorrect
warnings.
Person warning with city
braking function
Principle The system can help to avoid accidents with
pedestrians.
The system warns of the possible risk of colli‐
sion with pedestrians in the urban speed area
and also contains a braking function.
The system is controlled by the camera in the
area of the rear-view mirror.
General
The system warns with sufficient brightness
from approx. 10 km/h, approx. 6 mph up to ap‐
prox. 60 km/h, approx. 35 mph of any risk of
collision with pedestrians and supports this by
briefly applying the brakes before a collision.
Here, persons are taken into account if they
are located within the detection range of the
system.

Detection range
The detection zone in front of the vehicle con‐
sists of two parts:
▷Central zone, arrow 1, directly in front of
the vehicle.▷Extended zone, arrow 2, at right and left.
There is a risk of collision if persons are in the
central zone. A warning is only given of per‐
sons in the extended zone if they are moving in
the direction of the central zone.
Notes WARNING
Displays and warnings do not take your
personal responsibility from you. System limi‐
tations can mean that warnings or system re‐
sponses are not issued, are issued too late, or
are issued incorrectly. Danger of accidents.
Adapt driving style to the driving conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.◀
WARNING
Due to system limitations, there may be
malfunctions of individual functions when tow-
starting/towing with activated Intelligent Safety
Systems, for example approach control warn‐
ing with light braking function. Danger of acci‐
dents. Switch off all Intelligent Safety Systems
before tow-starting/towing.◀

Principle
Two radar sensors in the rear bumper monitor
the area behind and beside the vehicle as of
approx. 20 km/h, approx.12 mph.
In some equipment configurations, the radar
sensors are active from approximately
50 km/h, approximately 30 mph.
The system indicates when vehicles are in the
blind spot, arrow 1, or are approaching from
the rear on an adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The light in the exterior mirror housing illumi‐
nates at a dimmed level.
Before changing lanes with the turn indicator
switched on, the system issues a warning the
above situations.
The light in the exterior mirror housing flashes
and the steering wheel vibrates.
Notes WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you when you are estimat‐
ing the visibility conditions and traffic situation.
Danger of accidents. Adapt driving style to the
driving conditions. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation warrants

Top View
Principle Top View assists you with manoeuvring and
parking. To achieve this, the area around the
door and road is displayed on the control dis‐
play.
General
The two cameras in the exterior mirrors and
the rear-view camera are used to view the area
around the car.
The range at the sides and rear is at least 2 m,
approx. 7 ft.
In this way, obstacles up to the height of the
exterior mirror are detected early.
Notes WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you when you are estimat‐
ing the traffic situation. Danger of accidents.
Adapt driving style to the driving conditions.
Additionally, look directly to check the traffic
situation and the area around the vehicle and

Park Assistant
Principle
The system supports you when parking in par‐
allel to the road.
Ultrasonic sensors measure parking spaces on
both sides of the vehicle.
The park assistant calculates the ideal parking
line and takes over steering during the process
of parking.
When parking up, also follow the visual and au‐
dible information and notes of the PDC, the
Park Assistant and the rear-view camera, and
respond accordingly.
The park assistant incorporates Park Distance
Control, PDC, see page 131.
Notes WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you when you are estimat‐
ing the traffic situation. Due to limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot respond independently in a rea‐
sonable way in all traffic conditions. Danger of
accidents. Adapt driving style to the driving
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.◀
ATTENTION
The Park Assistant may steer across
curbs or up onto curbs. Danger of damage to
property. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.◀
An engine stopped by the Auto Start Stop
function is automatically started by activating
the Park Assistant.Seite 139Driving comfortControls139
