Intersection Collision Warning with city

braking function, refer to page 179.

Evasion Assistant, refer to page 180.

Safety information

Detection capability

The system's detection capability is limited.

Warning

The system only takes into account objects

that are located in the detection range of the

installed sensors and are detected by the sys-

tem.

The system cannot serve as a substitute for

the driver’s personal judgment in assessing

the traffic situation. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot independently react to

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the

surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready

to take over steering and braking at any time,

and actively intervene where appropriate.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the area

is monitored by cameras or radar sensors.

Thus, a system response might not come or

might come late.

System limits of the sensors

Additional information:

Sensors of the vehicle, refer to page 41.

Warning

Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a

substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.

Due to its limits, the system may not issue

warnings or responses, or these may be is-

sued late or in a manner that is not consis-

tent with their normal use. There is a risk of

accident, injury, and property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch sur-

rounding traffic closely and actively intervene

where appropriate

Forward Collision Mitigation

with brake intervention

Principle

The Forward Collision Mitigation can help

prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be

avoided, the system can help reduce the se-

verity of the accident.

The system can issue a warning of a possible

risk of collision and activate the brakes inde-

pendently, if needed.

Sensors

Depending on the equipment, the system is

controlled by the following sensors:

General information

Depending on the equipment version, the For-

ward Collision Mitigation system includes the

following functions:

▷

Camera behind the windshield.

Front radar sensor.

Radar sensors, side, front.

▷

Forward Collision Warning with braking

function, refer to page 177.

Additional information:

Sensors of the vehicle, refer to page 41.

▷

Daytime Pedestrian Collision Mitigation, re-

fer to page 178.

Safety

CONTROLS

Speed range

The system issues a warning of a possi-

ble risk of collision at speeds above approx.

3 mph/5 km/h.

Setting the warning time

Apps menu

2. "Vehicle"

3. "Driving settings"

If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.

155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated

temporarily.

4. "Driver Assistance"

5. "Safety and warnings"

6. "Forward Collision Mitigation"

7. Select the desired setting.

Some functions are deactivated earlier.

The system is enabled as soon as the speed

drops below these values again.

The more sensitive the warning time is set to

be, the more warnings will be displayed. The

system can therefore also issue more early or

unfounded warnings and reactions.

Turning the Forward Collision

Mitigation on/off

The system checks for visual impairments. De-

pending on the vehicle equipment, the Driver

Attention Camera in the instrument cluster

captures the driver’s field of vision. Visibility

and field of vision also affect the timing of the

warnings.

Turning on the system automatically

Depending on the national-market version, the

system is automatically active after every de-

parture.

Turning on system manually

The system is activated by setting the warning

time.

Display in the instrument cluster

The following indicator lights and warning

lights are shown on the instrument cluster and,

depending on vehicle equipment, on the Head-

up display:

Setting the warning time, refer to page 175.

Risk of collision with a person, e.g., a

pedestrian.

Depending on national-market version, the ad-

at a standstill or in a very low speed range.

Risk of collision, for instance with a

preceding vehicle.

If necessary, the switch-off must be confirmed

successively on the control display.

Safety

CONTROLS

The corresponding indicator lights and warn-

ing lights may display differently if the system

detects multiple objects.

During automatic brake intervention, Dynamic

Stability Control activates automatically.

A brake intervention can be canceled by de-

pressing the accelerator pedal with sufficient

force, releasing the brake pedal, or by actively

steering.

Warning function

The Forward Collision Mitigation warns on dif-

ferent warning levels, depending on the re-

spective hazardous situation.

City brake function: the brake intervention oc-

curs to up to approx. 50 mph/80 km/h.

In the event of a prewarning, a warning light

illuminates red. In the event of an acute warn-

ing, a warning light flashes red and a warning

tone sounds.

With radar sensor: the brake intervention oc-

curs to up to approx. 155 mph/250 km/h.

At speeds above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h,

only a brief brake intervention will occur.

In the event of a system warning, the driver

must intervene immediately and in accordance

with the situation.

Increased awareness is required.

Warning

Because of system limitations, this system

may either not respond, or respond too late,

incorrectly, or without cause. There is a risk

of accident, injury, and property damage. Ac-

tively intervene as warranted. Refer to the in-

formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding

the scope of the system’s operation and limi-

tations.

diately.

A warning signal sounds:

There is a risk of collision. Intervene imme-

diately.

Automatic brake intervention:

Depending on the equipment and situation

in case of risk of imminent collision, the

system can also intervene with an auto-

matic brake intervention and automatically

decelerate the vehicle, if necessary, to a

complete stop.

Detection capability

The system's detection capability is limited.

The system only takes into account objects

that are located in the detection range of the

installed sensors and are detected by the sys-

tem.

When the brake pedal is depressed quickly and

hard, the maximum brake power of the vehicle

is used.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the area

is monitored by cameras or radar sensors.

Automatic brake intervention

In case of a risk of collision, the system can

assist with an automatic brake intervention, if

necessary.

Thus, a system response might not come or

might come late.

System limits of the sensors

Additional information:

When the vehicle is traveling at a low speed,

the vehicle may come to a complete stop.

Functional limitations

The system may be limited in the following

situations:

Safety information

Follow the safety information in Chapter “For-

ward Collision Mitigation”.

▷

In tight curves.

With limitation of the driving stability control

systems.

▷

Up to 10 seconds after turning on drive-

ready state using the Start/Stop button.

Display in the instrument cluster

If there is a risk of collision with a detected

vehicle, a warning light is displayed.

Also, do not use Forward Collision Mitigation

when towing.

with braking function

Warning function

The warning prompts the driver to intervene.

Principle

The Forward Collision Warning with braking

function is a warning function that notifies the

driver of a possible risk of collision and brakes

automatically as necessary.

Additional information:

Forward Collision Mitigation, refer to page 174.

In the event of an accident, the system helps

by reducing impact speed.

System limits

General information

Follow the system limits in the "Forward Colli-

sion Mitigation" chapter.

General information

Detection range

The following situations may not be detected,

or only detected with a delay, for instance:

▷

Vehicle driving slowly in front and being ap-

proached at high speed.

▷

Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of

you, or strongly decelerating vehicles.

Sensors detect the traffic situation in their de-

tection range.

▷

Vehicles with unusual rear designs.

Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.

The system issues a warning of a possible risk

of collision with vehicles at speeds above ap-

prox. 3 mph/5 km/h. The timing of warnings

may vary with the current driving situation.

Upper speed limit

If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.

155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated

temporarily. As soon as the speed drops below

this value again, the system is reactivated.

The system considers the driver’s vehicle han-

dling when responding. If an active driving
