The Automatic Emergency Braking system
can help to avoid accidents, but is not
a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
The Automatic Emergency Braking system
functions only within the system limits. The
warning times vary depending on the
traffic
situation and driver behaviour.
Functions
The Automatic Emergency Braking system
includes the following additional functions
depending on vehicle equipment and coun-
try:
— Pedestrian Detection.
— Cyclist Detection.
— Evasive Steer Assist.
— Junction Assist.
The listed functions are automatically ac-
tive, if present, when the Automatic Emer-
gency Braking system is switched on.
Detectable objects
The Automatic Emergency Braking system
can detect the following objects depending
on vehicle equipment and country:
— Vehicles.
— Bicycles and motorcycles.
— Pedestrians.
Driving with the Automatic Emergency
Braking System
You can cancel the automatic braking inter-
ventions by steering or pressing the accel-
erator.
You can cancel automatic steering inter-
ventions by counter-steering.
Automatic braking
The Automatic Emergency Braking system
can decelerate the vehicle to a complete
stop. The vehicle will not remain stationary.
Depress the brake pedal!
The brake pedal will feel harder during an
automatic braking manoeuvre.
Detection of the driving situation
The Automatic Emergency Braking system
detects driving situations by means of
a camera located in the upper area of the
windscreen and a radar sensor in the front
of the vehicle.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the Auto-
matic Emergency Braking system cannot
overcome the laws of physics, and func-
tions only within the limits of the system.
Never let the extra convenience
afforded
by the Automatic Emergency Braking sys-
tem tempt you into taking any risks when
driving. The Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing system cannot prevent accidents and
serious injuries on its own. The driver is al-
ways responsible for all driving tasks.
·
Adapt your speed and distance from
the vehicles ahead to suit visibility,
weather, road and
traffic
conditions.
·
Please note that the Automatic Emer-
gency Braking system cannot detect all
objects throughout the entire speed
range

·
If the Automatic Emergency Braking
system issues a warning, brake the ve-
hicle immediately if the
traffic
allows or
avoid the obstacle.
·
The Automatic Emergency Braking sys-
tem can intervene unintentionally, for
example if its functioning is impaired.
You should therefore consider cancel-
ling the automatic interventions by the
Automatic Emergency Braking system if
appropriate.
·
If you are unsure about the systems
that are
fitted
in your vehicle, please
enquire at a suitably
qualified
workshop
before starting your trip.
