Forward collision alert

Front pedestrian protection

Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the Info Display

85.
If deactivated, m illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre and a
warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for
driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
If equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in
forward gear in the range between
3 mph and 53 mph. With radar sensor
and front camera active emergency
braking operates in forward gear in
the range between 3 mph and
87 mph.
A precondition is that the system is
not deactivated in the Info Display
and the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened
3
85.
The system includes:
● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● intelligent brake assist
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash. If active emergency
braking is applied, m flashes in the
Driver Information Centre. Front
automatic braking can only occur if a
vehicle ahead is detected. On
vehicles with front pedestrian
protection, front automatic braking
can also occur when a pedestrian
ahead is detected.
