WARNING
If EBD has malfunctioned, the rear wheels can
still lock, e.g. under full braking. This increa-
ses the risk of skidding and an accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
to the different handling characteristics. Have
the brake system checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Observe information regarding indicator and
warning lamps (
Y
page 358) as well as dis-
play messages (
Y
page 323).
ADAPTIVE BRAKE
ADAPTIVE BRAKE enhances braking safety
and offers increased braking comfort. In addi-
tion to the braking function, ADAPTIVE BRAKE
also has the HOLD function (
Y
page 239) and
hill start assist (
Y
page 195).
PRE-SAFE ® Brake
General notes
i
Pay attention to the important safety
notes in the "Driving safety systems" sec-
tion (
Y
page 78).
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake is only available for vehi-
cles with the Driving Assistance package.
For PRE-SAFE
®
Brake to assist you when driv-
ing, the radar sensor system and the camera
system must be switched on and operational.
With the help of the radar sensor system and
the camera system, PRE-SAFE ® Brake can
detect obstacles that are in front of your vehi-
cle for an extended period of time.
In addition, pedestrians in the path of your
vehicle can be detected.
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake detects pedestrians using
typical characteristics such as the body con-
tours and posture of a person standing
upright.
i
Observe the restrictions described in the
"Important safety notes" section
(
Y
page 86).
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake can help you to minimise
the risk of a collision with a vehicle ahead or
a pedestrian, and reduce the effects of such
a collision. If PRE-SAFE
®
Brake has detected
a risk of collision, you will be warned visually
and acoustically as well as by automatic brak-
ing.
Important safety notes
G WARNING
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake will initially brake your vehi-
cle by a partial application of the brakes if a
danger of collision is detected. There may be
a collision unless you brake yourself. Even
after subsequent full application of the brakes
a collision cannot always be avoided, partic-
ularly when approaching at too high a speed.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always apply the brakes yourself and try to
take evasive action, provided it is safe to do
so.
G
WARNING
PRE-SAFE ® Brake cannot always clearly iden-
tify objects and complex traffic conditions.
In these cases, PRE-SAFE
®
Brake may:
R
give an unnecessary warning and then
brake the vehicle
R
neither give a warning nor intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake, especially if
PRE-SAFE
® Brake warns you. Terminate the
intervention in a non-critical driving situation.
In order to maintain the appropriate distance
to the vehicle in front and thus prevent a col-
lision, you must apply the brakes yourself.
