PRE-SAFE ® Brake
General notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 77).
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.
Observe the restrictions described in the
"Important safety notes" section
(
Y
page 87).
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.
The PRE-SAFE
® Brake function can also brake
the vehicle automatically under the following
conditions:
R
the driver and front passenger have their
seat belts fastened
and
R
the vehicle speed is between approx-
imately 7 km/h and 200 km/h
At a speed of up to approximately 70 km/h,
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake can also detect:
R
stationary objects in the path of your vehi-
cle, e.g. stopped or parked vehicles
R
pedestrians in the path of your vehicle
G WARNING
PRE-SAFE ® Brake does not react:
R
to small people, e.g. children
R
to animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
