If, when pulling away at walking pace, the risk of
collision with other crossing vehicles is detected,
three red arrows pointing in the corresponding
direction light up in the instrument cluster.
Depending on the situation, these can either
appear one after the other or flash simultane‐
ously. If the situation is particularly critical, a
warning tone will also sound and the L dis‐
tance warning lamp will light up.
Too small a distance to the vehicle in front 1 is
displayed in red in the menu "Assistance" in the
multifunction display. If the gap becomes even
smaller, the vehicle in front will also be highligh‐
ted red. In case of autonomous braking, red
radar waves 2 appear in front of the vehicle.
Vehicles with PRE-SAFE
®
: depending on the
country, an additional haptic warning occurs in
the form of slight, repeated tensioning of the
seat belt.
If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In particularly critical situations, Active Brake
Assist can also initiate autonomous braking
directly. In this case, the warning lamp and warn‐
ing tone occur simultaneously with the braking
application.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa‐
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak‐
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up to max‐
imum full-stop braking if necessary.
%
If autonomous braking or situation-depend‐
ent braking assistance has occurred, a pop
up appears in the multifunction display and
then automatically goes out after a short
time.
If the autonomous braking function or the situa‐
tion-dependent braking assistance is triggered,
additional preventive measures for occupant
protection (PRE-SAFE
®
) may also be initiated.
&
WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited detection performance of Active
Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa‐
tions.
In such cases, Active Brake Assist might:
R
Give a warning or brake without reason
R
Not give a warning or not brake
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation; do not rely on Active Brake
Assist alone. Active Brake Assist is only
an aid. The driver is responsible for
maintaining a suitable distance to the
vehicle in front, vehicle speed and for
braking in good time.
#
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
essary.
