Driver assist systems
ACC distance warning
If necessary, ACC adapts the vehicle
speed towards the vehicle ahead
automatically by using the vehicle
brakes, so that a predefined following
distance or time is ensured. The use of
the vehicle brakes by ACC is limited to
a certain level. If ACC is not able to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead, the
'Distance' warning is
activated on the master display. The
driver must assist the vehicle braking by
using the brake pedal.
CAUTION: ACC does NOT brake the vehicle to a standstill.
If necessary, ACC brakes the vehicle to 25 km/h (16 mph), and below
this speed the ACC is automatically switched off.
8.3 ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEBS)
8.3.1 Introduction
WARNING! Do not adapt your driving style to the knowledge of having
the Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS).
AEBS is merely a driving aid with certain limitations. AEBS cannot
prevent accidents and it does NOT replace the driver's professional
judgement of the actual traffic situation. It is the driver who is and
remains at all times responsible for the proper operation of the truck.
WARNING! AEBS cannot prevent a collision. There is a risk of an
accident. The driver remains responsible. Always apply the brakes
yourself and try to take evasive action.
Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB) is an addition to the Forward Collision Warning
(FCW). Together they form the Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS).
AEBS is preselected as on by default and disengaged and engaged using the AEBS
switch. A warning indicator on the instrument panel indicates that AEBS is disengaged.
NOTE: Under certain circumstances a functional AEBS is not desirable and
can be disengaged using the AEBS switch. Examples of such
circumstances are;
– when the vehicle is towed,
– driving on a building site or
– in heavy city traffic.
