Lighting139Town light
Activated automatically at a speed upto approx. 34 mph and in situations
with exterior ambient light. The light is
wide and symmetrical. A special
beam pattern is designed to avoid
glare for other road users.
Country light
Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 34 mph when driving
in rural areas. The illumination of the
current lane and the side of the roadis improved. Oncoming and
preceding vehicles are not dazzled.
Curve light
Particular LEDs, based on steering
angle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 25 mph to 43 mph and
reacts to steering angle.
Corner light
When turning off, depending on the
steering angle and the turn lights, particular LEDs are triggered which
illuminate the direction of travel. It is
activated up to a speed of 25 mph.
Reverse parking function
To assist driver's orientation when
parking, both corner lights and
reversing light illuminate when
headlights are on and reverse gear is
engaged. They remain illuminated for
a short time after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than
4 mph in a forward gear.
Dynamic automatic headlight
levelling
To prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled, headlight levelling is
automatically adjusted based on
inclination information measured by
front and rear axle, acceleration or
deceleration and vehicle speed.

Driving and operating195The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react for
pedestrians or animals. After a
sudden lane change, the system
needs a certain time to detect the
next preceding vehicle.
The driver shall always be ready to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
If equipped only with front camera the active emergency braking operates in
forward gear above walking speed up to 53 mph.
With radar sensor active emergency
braking operates in forward gear
above walking speed at all speeds.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated by pressing V on the
steering wheel 3 191 or, with radar
sensor, that it is not deactivated in the
vehicle personalisation menu 3 122.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
so quickly that a collision is likely, the brake preparation system slightlypressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested.
The brake system is prepared so that
braking can occur more rapidly.If equipped only with front camera the system operates up to a speed of
50 mph.
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash. Depending on the
situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or
hard. This front automatic braking can only occur if a vehicle ahead is
detected, indicated by the vehicle
ahead indicator A 3 191.
If equipped only with front camera the
system operates up to a speed of
37 mph.
Below a speed of 25 mph the system
can apply full braking.
Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, emergency automatic
braking may engage the electric
parking brake to hold the vehicle at a
Page 198 of 311

196Driving and operatingstop. To release press the electric
parking brake button or firmly press the accelerator pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to the brake preparation
system and emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing
the brake pedal less strongly results
in immediate hard braking. This
function helps the driver brake
quicker and harder before the
imminent collision.
If equipped only with front camera the
system operates up to a speed of
53 mph.9 Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react for pedestrians or animals.
After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver shall always be ready to take action and apply the
brakes and steer to avoid
collisions. The system is designed to work with all occupants wearingtheir seat belts.
Intelligent Brake Assist
If the vehicle is equipped with radar
sensor Intelligent brake assist may
activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost
to braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.9 Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
