194 Driving and operating
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance may be
limited:

e.g. fog, rain, or snow
● when the sensor is blocked by
snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage
Following distance
indication
The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The system uses,
depending on the vehicle equipment,
either the radar behind the radiator
grille or the front camera in the
windscreen to detect the distance of
a vehicle directly ahead in your lane.
It is active at speeds above 25 mph.
When a preceding vehicle is detected
ahead, the distance is indicated in
seconds, displayed on a page in the

Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage from crashes with
vehicles and obstacles directly
ahead, when a collision can no longer
be avoided either by manual braking
or by steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert

The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle
speed) to calculate the probability of
a frontal collision.
Active emergency braking operates
automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto Collision
Preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
