WARNING
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased. There is a risk of accident.
In an emergency braking situation, depress
the brake pedal with full force. ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
BAS operates in emergency braking situa-
tions. If you depress the brake pedal quickly,
BAS automatically boosts the braking force,
thus shortening the stopping distance.
The brakes will function as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
BAS PLUS (Brake Assist System Plus)
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 64).
BAS PLUS is only available on vehicles with
DISTRONIC PLUS.
BAS PLUS provides braking assistance in haz-
ardous situations at speeds greater than
7 km/h and uses radar sensor technology to
assess the traffic situation.
With the help of the radar sensor system, BAS
PLUS can detect obstacles that are in the
path of your vehicle for an extended period of
time.
At speeds up to approximately 70 km/h, BAS
PLUS may also detect stationary obstacles,
for example, stopped or parked vehicles.
To prevent a front-end collision, BAS PLUS
calculates the brake force necessary if:
R
you approach an obstacle and
R
BAS PLUS has detected a risk of collision.
When driving at a speed over 30 km/h: if
you depress the brake pedal sharply, BAS
PLUS will automatically increase the braking
force to a level suitable for the traffic condi-
tions.
When driving at a speed under 30 km/h:
if you depress the brake, BAS PLUS is activa-
ted. Braking will be carried out at the last
possible moment.
If BAS PLUS demands particularly high brak-
ing force, preventative passenger protection
measures (PRE-SAFE
®
) are activated simul-
taneously.
X
Keep the brake pedal depressed until the
emergency braking situation is over.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
BAS PLUS is deactivated and the brakes func-
tion as usual, if:
R
you release the brake pedal
R
there is no longer any danger of a rear-end
collision
R
no obstacle is detected in front of your
vehicle.
The radar sensor system is switched off auto-
matically in the vicinity of radio telescope
facilities in the following vehicles:
R
vehicles with COMAND Online and naviga-
tion
R
vehicles with Audio 20 and Becker
®
MAP
PILOT
Becker
®
MAP PILOT must be connected,
see the separate operating instructions
The radar sensor system must be switched off
using the on-board computer in the vicinity of
radio telescope facilities in the following vehi-
cles:
R
vehicles without COMAND Online and nav-
igation
R
vehicles without Audio 20 and Becker
®
MAP PILOT
R
vehicles for Australia
For information on switching off the radar
sensor system using the on-board computer,
see (
Y
page 243).
For BAS PLUS to assist you when driving, the
radar sensor system must:
R
be switched on (
Y
page 243)
R
be operational (
Y
page 263)
If the radar sensor system is malfunctioning,
BAS PLUS will not be available. The brake
system is still available with complete brake
boosting effect and BAS.
