188Driving and operatingRadar unit
The radar unit is mounted behind the
radiator grille below the brand
emblem.
9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, after a frontal accident, do not use the system. The front
bumper may appear to be intact,
however the sensor behind can be
out of position and react
incorrectly. After an accident,
consult a workshop to verify and
correct the adaptive cruise control
sensor position.
Settings
Settings can be changed in the Auto
collision preparation menu in the
vehicle personalisation 3 129.
Fault
If the adaptive cruise control does not
work due to temporary conditions
(e.g. blockage by ice) or if there is a
permanent system error, then a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 122.
Forward collision alert The forward collision alert can help to
avoid or reduce the damage caused
by front-end crashes.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by a
control indicator A.

Driving and operating189
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert is activated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 129 or that it
is not deactivated by pressing V
(depending on the system, see
following).
Depending on the vehicle's
equipment, there are two variants of
the forward collision alert available:
● Forward collision alert based on
radar system
on vehicles equipped with
adaptive cruise control 3 182.
● Forward collision alert based on
front camera system
on vehicles with traditional cruise
control or none 3 179.
Forward collision alert based on
radar system
The system uses the radar sensor
behind the radiator grille to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path,
within a distance of max. 150 metres.
Activation
Forward collision alert operates
automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto collision
preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 129.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity can be set to
near, medium or far.
Press E; the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press E again to change the alert
sensitivity. The setting is also displayed in the top line of the Driver
Information Centre.

192Driving and operatingapproaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn only for vehicles, but may react also onother metallic objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● on winding roads
● when weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage
Following distance
indication
The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The system uses,
depending on the vehicle equipment,
either the radar behind the radiator
grille or the front camera in the
windscreen to detect the distance of
a vehicle directly ahead in your path.
It is active at speeds above 40 km/h.
When a preceding vehicle is detected ahead, the distance is indicated inseconds, displayed on a page in the
Driver Information Centre 3 116.
Press MENU on the turn signal lever
to select Vehicle Information Menu
X and turn the adjuster wheel to
choose following distance indication
page.
The minimum indicated distance is 0.5 s.
If there is no vehicle ahead or the
vehicle ahead is out of range, two
dashes will be displayed: -.- s.
Active Emergency Braking Active emergency braking can help toreduce the damage from crashes with
vehicles and obstacles directly
ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by manual braking
or by steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 188.
