The system uses radar sensors to detect vehi-
cles in front.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST consists of the
distance warning function and Adaptive Brake
Assist.
If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST is malfunc-
tioning, the display shows a corresponding mes-
sage (

Distance warning function
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The distance warning function does not react:
R
to people or animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
Thus, the distance warning function cannot
provide a warning in all critical situations.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake.
G
WARNING
The distance warning function cannot always
clearly identify objects and complex traffic
situations.
In such cases, the distance warning function
may:
R
give an unnecessary warning
R
not give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation; do not rely on the distance warning
function alone.
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 the system to display a warning.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, the dis-
tance warning function can neither reduce the
risk of an accident nor override the laws of phys-
ics. The distance warning function cannot take
into account road, weather or traffic conditions.
The distance warning function 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 355). If the category is changed without
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the
functioning of the distance warning feature may
be impaired. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
may then detect a fault and switch itself off.

To activate/deactivate: activate or deacti-
vate the distance warning function in the on-
board computer (

If the distance warning function of the COL-
LISION PREVENTION ASSIST is activated, the
display shows the

At speeds up to approx 30 km/h, the display
in vehicles with Active Parking Assist first
shows the

status indicator. Only from a
speed of about 30 km/h does the display
show the
Ä
symbol instead of the
í
sta-
tus indicator.
The distance warning function can help you to
minimise the risk of a rear-end collision with a
vehicle ahead or reduce the effects of such a
collision. With the help of the radar sensor sys-
tem, the distance warning function can detect
