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.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the case of:
R
dirt on the sensors or anything else covering
the sensors
R
snow or heavy rain
R
interference from other radar sources
R
strong radar reflections, for example, in multi-
storey car parks
R
a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
R
a vehicle travelling in front on a different line
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving conditions
may also cause Adaptive Brake Assist to inter-
vene.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Adaptive
Brake Assist can neither reduce the risk of acci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. Adaptive
Brake Assist cannot take into account road,
weather or traffic conditions. Adaptive Brake
Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for the
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, braking in good time and for staying in
your lane.
Following damage to the front end of the vehicle,
have the configuration and operation of the
radar sensor checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. This also applies to collisions at slow
speeds where there is no visible damage to the
front of the vehicle.
If you change wheel size, make sure they corre-
spond to the correct wheel size category
(
Y
page 365). If the category is changed without
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the
functioning of Adaptive Brake Assist may be
impaired. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST may
then detect a fault and switch itself off.
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.
Function
With the help of the radar sensor system, Adap-
tive Brake Assist can detect obstacles that have
been in the path of your vehicle for an extended
period of time. Adaptive Brake Assist does not
react to stationary obstacles. If Adaptive Brake
Assist detects a risk of collision with a vehicle
travelling in front or with a stationary obstacle,
the system calculates the braking force neces-
sary to avoid a collision. If you apply the brakes
forcefully, Adaptive Brake Assist will automati-
cally increase the braking force to a level suita-
ble for the traffic conditions.
X
Brake until the distance to the obstacle
increases and the risk of a collision passes.
ABS prevents any of the wheels from locking.
The brakes function as usual 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
Braking assistance is then ended.
Vehicles with PRE-SAFE
®
: if Adaptive Brake
Assist demands particularly high braking force,
preventative passenger protection measures
are activated simultaneously. Information on
this can be found under "PRE-SAFE
®
"
(
Y
page 58).
Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors
in the bumper. It supports you from speeds of
approximately 30 km/h. A warning display in
the exterior mirrors draws your attention to
vehicles detected in the monitored area. If you
then switch on the corresponding turn signal to
change lane, you will also receive an optical and
audible collision warning.
