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 30 km/h, if over several
seconds the distance maintained to the vehi‐
cle travelling in front is insufficient for the
driven speed, the L distance warning
lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
R
From approximately 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.
Brake immediately or take evasive action, provi‐
ded it is safe to do so and the traffic situation
allows this.
