System limitations
Intelligent adaptive cruise control has
the same limitations as the traffic sign assistant 3 219.
Implicit speed limits may be
considered with a delay, e.g. city
entry, city exit, or motorway entry
signs.
The system may ignore a particular
traffic sign or use a wrong speed limit.
A new speed limit from the navigation may be taken over automatically after
a certain distance since the last
detected traffic sign or when entering a new road segment, e.g. road exits
or round-abouts.Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert is part of
the forward collision system 3 123. It
can help to avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by the
control indicator A.
Additionally, the status of the forward
collision alert is indicated on the
Driver Assistance page in the Driver
Information Center 3 111.
If 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.
Forward collision alert with front
camera detects vehicles to distances
of approx. 60 m and operates
automatically at all speeds above
walking speed.Forward collision alert with radar
sensor detects vehicles to distances
of approx. 150 m and operates
automatically at all speeds above
walking speed.
Activation A precondition is that forward collision
alert in the vehicle personalisation
menu is not deactivated 3 123.
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
amber 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
Page 205 of 321

Driving and operating203Detecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead up to a distance
of approx. 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. Pressing
the accelerator pedal will also release Automatic braking and Electric
parking brake 3 175.
This system includes Intelligent brake assist, and the Emergency automatic
braking system may also respond to
pedestrians.
Active emergency braking 3 199.
Automatic braking can be disabled in
the vehicle personalisation menu
3 123.
