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
Assistance
menu, an insufficient distance
1
to the vehicle in front is displayed in red. If
you further reduce the distance, the vehicle in
front is also highlighted in red. When the system
detects a risk of collision, 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.
%
Vehicles with active ambient lighting: if
Warning Support
is activated, the Active
Brake Assist warning is also accompanied by
ambient lighting (
/
page 165).
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-dependent
braking assistance has occurred, pop up
1
appears in the driver display and then automati‐
cally 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.
