under full braking. This could cause you to
lose control of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent. You should therefore adapt your driving
style to the different handling characteristics.
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 172) and
hill start assist (
Y
page 137). For further
information, see Driving tips (
Y
page 154).
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake (vehicles with DIS-
TRONIC PLUS)
PRE-SAFE ® Brake can help you to minimise
the risk of a frontal collision with a vehicle
ahead or reduce the effects of such a colli-
sion.
This function will issue a warning at speeds of
around 30 km/h or more if:
R
for a period of several seconds, the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is too short for
the speed at which you are travelling. The
· distance warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
R
you are approaching the vehicle in front too
rapidly. An intermittent warning tone
sounds and the · distance warning
lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated driving conditions may cause the
system to display an unnecessary warning.
G Risk of accident
Pay particular attention to the traffic condi-
tions if the · distance warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up or an intermittent
warning tone sounds. If necessary, brake or
manoeuvre to avoid an obstacle.
If the driver and passengers have fastened
their seat belts, PRE-SAFE
® Brake can also
can also perform the following at speeds of
above approximately 30 km/h:
R
brake the vehicle automatically from a
speed of up to approximately 200 km/h
R
trigger preventative passenger protection
measures (PRE-SAFE
®
)
G Risk of accident
PRE-SAFE ® Brake is only an aid to assist you
when driving. You are responsible for main-
taining a safe distance from other vehicles,
the vehicle's speed and for braking in good
time. Always pay attention to the traffic con-
ditions. Otherwise, you may recognise dan-
gers too late, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
With the help of the radar sensor system,
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake can detect obstacles that
are in front of your vehicle for an extended
period of time. If you approach an obstacle
and PRE-SAFE
®
Brake detects a risk of a col-
lision, the system will initially alert you both
visually and acoustically. If you do not brake
or steer, the vehicle will at first automatically
brake slightly. In the event of an increased
risk of a collision, PRE-SAFE ® is activated
(
Y
page 39). If the risk of collision remains
and you do not brake, take evasive action or
accelerate significantly, the vehicle may per-
form automatic emergency braking.
G Risk of accident
Only clearly detected obstacles will trigger a
warning and initiate braking assistance by
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired if there is:
R
dirt on the sensors or the sensors are cov-
ered
R
snow or heavy rain
