General information Enclosed areas
Do not let the engine run in enclosed
areas, since breathing in exhaust fumes may
lead to loss of consciousness and death. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an

Collision warning with
City Braking function
The concept
The system can help to prevent accidents. If an
accident cannot be prevented, the system
helps to reduce the collision speed.
The system issues a warning if there is immi‐
nent danger of a collision and if so brakes inde‐
pendently.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
The system is controlled via a camera in the
base of the mirror.
The collision warning is available even if cruise
control has been deactivated.
When the vehicle is intentionally brought close to a vehicle, the collision warning is delayed to
avoid false warnings.
General information The system issues a two-phase warning of a
danger of collision with vehicles at speeds
above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. The time of
these warnings may vary depending on the
current driving situation.
Up to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h a braking inter‐
vention occurs when appropriate.
