Warning with braking function
Display
If there is a risk of collision with a detected vehi‐
cle, a warning symbol is shown in the instrument
cluster and, if applicable, in the Head-Up Display.
Symbol Measure
Symbol illuminates red: advance
warning.
Brake and increase the distance.
Symbol flashes red and an acoustic
signal sounds: acute warning.
Brake and perform an evasive ma‐
noeuvre, if necessary.
Advance warning
An advance warning is given for example if there
is an impending risk of collision or the distance
from the vehicle ahead is too short.
The driver must intervene personally if there is
an acute warning.
Acute warning with braking function
An acute warning is given when the vehicle is ap‐
proaching another object at a high differential
speed and there is an immediate risk of a colli‐
sion.
The driver must intervene personally if there is
an acute warning. Depending on the driving sit‐
uation and the vehicle's equipment, the acute
warning may be supported by a brief jolt in the
brakes.
If the warning time setting is "Late", the jolt does
not occur.
If necessary, the system can also assist by brak‐
ing the vehicle automatically if there is a risk of a
collision.
An acute warning can be triggered even without
a previous advance warning.
Brake intervention
The warning prompts the driver to take action.
When the brake is operated during a warning, the
maximum necessary braking force is applied.
Braking assistance requires that the brake pedal
is depressed sufficiently quickly and firmly be‐
forehand.
The system can also assist by braking the vehi‐
cle automatically if there is a risk of a collision.
At low speeds, the vehicle can be braked to a
stop.
Manual gearbox: when the vehicle is braked to a
stop, the engine may shut off.
City braking function: brake intervention takes
place at up to approx. 80 km/h, 50 mph.
With radar sensor: brake intervention takes place
at up to approx. 250 km/h, 155 mph.
At speeds above approx. 210 km/h, 130 mph,
the brake intervention takes the form of a brief
jolt. There is no automatic deceleration.
The brakes are only applied if driving stability has
not been impaired, for example by deactivation of
Dynamic Stability Control DSC.
A brake intervention can be discontinued either
by depressing the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.
Object detection may be limited. Take into ac‐
count the detection range limits and the func‐
tional limitations.

Safety note
WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or may re‐
spond too late, incorrectly or without justifica‐
tion due to system limitations. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents or damage to property.
