Driving and Driving Safety
Latent warning (visual)
If the vehicle is driving too close to the vehicle in
front for a long time, to avoid a collision if the
vehicle in front brakes, a latent warning appears
on the multi-function display to warn the driver.
f
Stay further back from the vehicle in front if
necessary.
Prewarning (acoustic and visual)
If the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is
coming critically close to and is very likely to
collide with a moving obstacle in front, an acoustic
and visual prewarning is issued.
This warns the driver and still allows a collision to
be prevented if the driver reacts accordingly.
Risk of collision with the vehicle in front.
f
Brake immediately.
Acute warning (acoustic, visual and tangible)
If the driver does not react to the prewarning by
braking, this is quickly followed by an acute
warning, which involves a braking jolt as well as
the acoustic and visual warning.
A braking jolt is felt in the vehicle as a result of a
very quick build-up of brake pressure. This alerts
the driver to the traffic situation.
The driver can still prevent a collision by reacting
accordingly in this dangerous situation.
Risk of collision with the vehicle in front.
f
Brake immediately.
