Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Autonomous Emergency Braking is a function of the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist)
and active when the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) is switched on.
The Autonomous Emergency Braking function monitors the traffic situation in front of your vehicle at
speeds between 3 mph (5 km/h) and about 20 mph (30 km/h).
If the Autonomous Emergency Braking function detects a critical situation which can lead to a collision,
it will prepare the vehicle for a possible emergency braking maneuver
⇒
.
In case of an impending collision and the driver not reacting accordingly to the warning, the system
can initiate an automatic braking maneuver in order to reduce the speed of your vehicle and help
minimize the effects of a collision.
