Collision warning system* - operation
"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.
Settings for the collision warning system are
made from
MY CAR
via the centre console
screen and menu system, see MY CAR (p.
106).
Warning signals On and Off
You can select whether the collision warning
system's acoustic and visual warning signals
should be switched on or off.
When starting the engine, the setting that was
selected when the engine was switched off is
obtained automatically.
NOTE
The Brake Support and Auto Brake func-
tions are always enabled - they cannot be
deactivated.
Light and acoustic signals
Both the light and acoustic signals can be
deactivated after starting the engine. The
function can be activated/deactivated in the
menu system
MY CAR
. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 106).
The warning lamp (see (1) in the illustration (p.
213)) is tested each time the engine is started
by briefly lighting the separate light points of
the warning lamp if the visual and acoustic
warning of the collision warning system is
activated.
Acoustic signal
The warning sound can be activated/deacti-
vated separately in the menu system
MY
CAR
. For a description of the menu system,
see MY CAR (p. 106).
Set warning distance
The warning distance regulates the distance
at which the visual and acoustic warnings are
deployed. The warning distance is set in the
menu system
MY CAR
. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 106).
The warning distance determines the sys-
tem's sensitivity. Warning distance
Long
pro-
vides an earlier warning. First test with
Long
and if this setting produces too many warn-
ings, which could be perceived as irritating in
certain situations, then change to warning
distance
Normal
.
Only use warning distance
Short
in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use
the warning lamp and warning sound will
be used by the cruise control even if the
collision warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns the
driver in the event of a risk of a collision,
but the function cannot shorten driver
reaction time.
In order for the collision warning system to
be effective, always drive with Distance
Warning (p. 202) set at time interval 4–5.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set
to
Long
warnings could be perceived as
being late in certain situations, e.g. when
there are large differences in speed or if
vehicles in front brake heavily.
WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee
100 % correct function in all situations.
Therefore, never test Collision Warning
with Auto Brake by driving at people or
vehicles - this may cause severe damage
and injury and risk lives.
Checking settings
The settings required can be controlled on
the centre console display screen. Search
with the menu system (p. 106)
