Brake support prepares the brake system to react quickly, and the brakes are applied slightly. This may be experienced
as a light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking effect will be provided, even if pressure on the brake pedal is light.
Auto-brake
If a collision is imminent and the driver has not applied the brakes, the auto-brake function is activated without the
driver pressing the brake pedal. Limited brake force is applied to reduce the vehicle's speed when the collision occurs.
WARNING
The driver must apply the brakes for full braking effect.
NOTE
The auto-brake function is always on and cannot be turned off.
Operation
Settings are made from the center console via a menu system. See
page 122
for information on using the menu system.
On and off
To switch Collision Warning on or off, go into the menu

Setting a warning distance

under
Car settings
Collision warning settings
Warning distance
.
The warning distance determines the level of sensitivity used by the system. The warning distance
Long
provides an
earlier warning. Begin by using
Long
and if the system gives too many warnings, try changing to
Normal
.
WARNING
The setting
Short
should only be used in situations where traffic is light and moving at low speeds.
Collision Warning alerts the driver to the risk of a collision but this function cannot reduce the driver's reaction
time.
For Collision Warning to be as effective as possible, it is recommended that Distance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 163
.
NOTE
When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is used, the warning light and signal will be used by ACC, even if Collision
Warning has been switched off.
In situations where traffic is moving at considerably different speeds, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly,
warnings may be considered to be late, even if the setting
Long
has been selected.
