System limitations
In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is
limited:
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● Detecting all vehicles, especially
vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
● Detecting a vehicle when
weather limits visibility, such as in
fog, rain, or snow.
● Driving during nighttime.
● The windscreen is damaged or
affected by foreign items, e.g.
stickers.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and the driver should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on
roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed
with the engine running
● when tyre chains are fitted
● when a spare wheel is fitted that
is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car
wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a
rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been
damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been
damaged
● if the brake lamps are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
m
is illuminated in the instrument
cluster, a message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre and an
audible signal is given.
If the system does not work as it
should do, vehicle messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.

Front pedestrian protection
Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused
by front-end crashes with pedestrians
when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and a radar sensor in
the front bumper to detect a
pedestrian directly ahead in your
path.
