Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: Evasive Steering Assist and cornering
function
Active Brake Assist can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or
pedestrians or to reduce the effects of such a
collision.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli‐
sion, a warning tone sounds and the L dis‐
tance warning lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster.
If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake
Assist can initiate autonomous braking directly.
In this case, the warning lamp and warning tone
occur simultaneously with the braking applica‐
tion.
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.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers (
/
page 166).
If autonomous braking or situation-dependent
braking assistance has occurred, display 1
appears in the multifunction display and then
automatically goes out after a short time.

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.
#
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 sufficiently safe distance
to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed
and for braking in good time.
#
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
essary.
Also observe the system limits of Active Brake
Assist.
The individual subfunctions are available in
various speed ranges:
The distance warning function can issue a warn‐
ing in the following situations:
R
From approximately 4 mph (7 km/h), if your
vehicle is critically close to a vehicle, cyclist
or pedestrian, you will hear an intermittent
warning tone and the L distance warning
lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
