Driving and operating199If the vehicle is equipped with
conventional cruise control, the
forward collision alert uses the front
camera in the windscreen to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path.
If the vehicle is equipped with
adaptive cruise control, the forward
collision alert uses the radar sensor
and front camera to detect a vehicle
directly ahead, in your path.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by the
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
Additionally the driver gets notified by
a flashing red LED stripe or a pop up
symbol in the head-up display which
is projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert in the vehicle personalisation
menu is not deactivated 3 126.
Activation
Forward collision alert with front
camera detects vehicles to distances
of approximately 60 metres and
operates automatically at all speeds
above walking speed.
Forward collision alert with radar
sensor detects vehicles to distances
of approximately 150 metres and
operates automatically at all speeds
above walking speed.
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. On
vehicles with head-up display, A is
projected on the windscreen.
The control indicator A changes to
yellow when the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small.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
collision alert symbol pops-up in the
Driver Information Centre and the
driver gets notified by a flashing red
LED stripe or the pop-up symbol in
the head-up display which is
projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view.

206Driving and operatingDetecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead up to a distance
of approximately 40 m is indicated by the control indicator 7 in the
instrument cluster. On vehicles with
head-up display, 7 is projected on the
windscreen.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a red flashing
LED alert or the pop-up symbol 7 in
the head-up display is projected on the windscreen in the driver's field of
view. A warning chime is provided.
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 or Adaptive 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, Automatic
braking may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. 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 parking brake. A firm
press of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic braking and
Electric parking brake 3 180.
This system includes Intelligent brake assist, and the Emergency automatic
braking system may also respond to
pedestrians. See Active emergency
braking 3 202.
