Ac tive Brake Assist can help youto minimise the
ri sk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedes-
trians or toreduce the e.ects of such a collision.
If Ac tive Brake Assist has de tected a risk of colli-
sion, a warning tone sounds and theL dis-
ta nce warning lamp lights up in the inst rument
cluster.
If yo u do not react tothewa rning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist
can initiate autonomous braking directl y.In this
case, thewa rning lamp and warning tone occur
simultaneously with the braking application. If
yo u apply the brake yourself in a critical situa-
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak-
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up tomaxi-
mum full-s top braking if necessar y.
Obser vethe no tes on driving systems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 184). If autonomous braking or situation-dependent
braking assistance has occur
red, display 1
appears in the Instrument Display and then auto-
matically goes out aTer a short time. &
W WARNING
ARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited de tection per form ance of Active
Brake Assist
Ac tive Brake Assist cannot alw ays clear lyiden-
tify objects and complex tra1c situations.
In such cases, Active Brake Assist might:
R Give a warning or brake without reason
R Not give a warning or not brake
Ac tive Brake Assist is only an aid. The driver is
re sponsible for maintaining a su1ciently safe
distance totheve hicle in front, vehicle speed
and for braking in good time. #
Always pay careful attention tothe tra1c
situation; do not relyonActive Brake
Assist alone. #
Be prepa redto brake or swer veif neces-
sar y. Also obser

Assist. Driving and parking

Tr a1c Sign Assist de tects tra1c signs with the

yo uby displaying de tected speed limits and over-

Obser vethe no tes on driving systems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 184).
Since Tra1c Sign Assist also uses the data stored
in the navigation system, it can update the display
in thefo llowing situations without de tecting tra1c
signs. If
th e system de tects that you are driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction of tr avel, it
triggers a warning.
The camera also de tects tra1c signs with a
re striction indicated byan additional sign (e.g.
when wet). These are only displa yed if a restric-
tion applies or if the system cannot clear lyde ter-
mine whe ther there striction applies.
