WARNING
The collision warning system does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions. The collision
warning system does not react to vehicles
or cyclists driving in another direction to
the car or to animals.
Warning only activated in the event of a
high risk for collision. This section "Func-
tion" and the section "Limitations" inform
about limitations that the driver must be
aware of before using the Collision Warn-
ing system with Auto Brake.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at
a vehicle speed exceeding 80 km/h.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists do not work in
darkness and tunnels - not even when
streetlights are lit.
The auto-brake function can prevent a col-
lision or reduce collision speed. To ensure
full brake performance, the driver should
always depress the brake pedal - even
when the car auto-brakes.
Never wait for a collision warning. The
driver is always responsible that the cor-
rect distance and speed are maintained -
even when the collision warning system
with auto-brake is used.

detection
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to
assist the driver when there is a risk of collid-
ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
Optimum examples of what the system interprets
as a cyclist - with clear body and bicycle con-
tours, directly from behind and in the car's cen-
tre line.
Optimal performance of the system requires
that the system function that detects a cyclist
receives as unambiguous information as pos-
sible about the body and bicycle contours -
this implies the opportunity to identify the
bicycle, head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper
and lower body combined with a normal
human pattern of movement.
