Up to a speed of approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h), Adaptive Brake Assist reacts to
stationary obstacles.
X
Keep the brake pedal depressed until the
emergency braking situation is over.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes will work normally again if:
R
you release the brake pedal.
R
there is no longer any danger of a collision.
R
no obstacle is detected in front of your
vehicle.
Adaptive Brake Assist is then deactivated.
Important safety notes
G WARNING
Adaptive Brake Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa-
tions.
In such cases, Adaptive Brake Assist can:
R
intervene unnecessarily
R
not intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake. Terminate the
intervention in a non-critical driving situation.
G WARNING
Adaptive Brake Assist does not react:
R
to people or animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
As a result, the Adaptive Brake Assist may not
intervene in all critical conditions. There is a
risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving condi-
tions may also cause Brake Assist to inter-
vene.
If adaptive Brake Assist is not available due to
a malfunction in the radar sensor system, the
brake system remains available with full
brake boosting effect and BAS.
Detection of hazardous situations can be par-
ticularly impaired by:
R
there is dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors
R
there is snow or heavy rain
R
there is interference by other radar sources
R
there are strong radar reflections, for
example in parking garages
R
a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
R
a vehicle traveling in front on a different line
R
new vehicles after the first few kilometers
of driving or after the COLLISION PREVEN-
TION ASSIST PLUS system has been serv-
iced
Observe the important safety notes in the
"Breaking-in notes" section (
Y
page 138).
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at low speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.

General notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 61).
ESP ® monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tires and
the road surface.
If ESP
®
detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilize the
vehicle. The engine output is also modified to
keep the vehicle on the desired course within
physical limits. ESP
