extinguishes in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is deleted.
By pressing m to activate cruise
control or adaptive cruise control,
speed limiter is also deactivated and
the stored speed is deleted.
By switching off the vehicle, speed
limiter is also deactivated, but the
speed limit will be stored for next
speed limiter activation.
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 system in the
windscreen to detect a vehicle
directly ahead, in your path, within a
distance of approx. 60 m.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by the
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime is sounded.
Additionally, the driver is notified by a
flashing red LED stripe which is
projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view.
A precondition is that forward collision alert is not deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 91.
Activation
Forward collision alert operates
automatically above 8 km/h, if it is not deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu.
Alerting the driver
The vehicle ahead control indicator
A illuminates green in the instrument
cluster when the system has detected
a vehicle in the driving path.
The control indicator A changes to
yellow when the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small or when approaching another
vehicle too rapidly.Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
When the time to a potential collision
with a vehicle in front gets too small
and a collision is imminent, the driver
is notified by a flashing red LED stripe which is projected on the windscreen
in the driver's field of view.

172Driving and operating9Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
Front pedestrian protection includes:
● detecting front pedestrian ahead● front pedestrian alert
● automatic braking
Pedestrian detected ahead
A pedestrian ahead is indicated up to
a distance of approximately 40 m by control indicator 7 in the instrument
cluster.
Front pedestrian alert
When the vehicle approaches a
detected pedestrian ahead too
rapidly, a red flashing LED alert is projected onto the windscreen in the
driver's field of view and a warning
chime is sounded. The brake system
may prepare for driver braking to
occur more rapidly which can cause a
brief, mild deceleration. Continue to
apply the brake pedal as required.
Cruise control may be disengaged
when the front pedestrian alert
occurs.
Automatic braking If a crash into a pedestrian directly
ahead is imminent and the brakes
have not been applied, the braking
strength is automatically adapted.
This can help to avoid some very low speed pedestrian crashes or reduce
pedestrian injury.
Automatic braking levels may be
reduced under certain conditions, such as higher speeds.
If this happens, automatic braking
may engage the electric parking
brake to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the electric parking brake. A
firm press of the accelerator pedal will
also release automatic braking and
the electric parking brake 3 158.
This system includes intelligent brake assist, and the emergency automatic
braking system may also respond to
pedestrians.
Active emergency braking 3 168.
