WARNING
• The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such as
its limitations and what the driver
should be aware of before using the
system.
• Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

unit and radar unit
The driver or passengers are not normally
aware of the function - it only intervenes in a sit-
uation where a collision is immediately immi-
nent.
The function can help the driver to avoid a colli-
sion when driving in queues, e.g. when changes
in the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in
attention, could lead to an incident. The function
then activates a short, sharp braking procedure,
normally stopping the car just behind the vehicle
ahead.
The function cannot be deactivated but is
always activated. However, system sensitivity
can be selected.
98 The function is not available in all markets.
