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.

System limits

General information

Depending on the equipment version, the For-

ward Collision Mitigation system includes the

following functions:

Safety information

Warning

▷

Warning function in rear-end collision situa-

tions, refer to page 184.

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, or 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.

Warning function for oncoming traffic, refer

to page 185.

Warning function for turning with oncoming

traffic, refer to page 186.

Warning function for pedestrians, refer to

page 187.

Warning function at intersections, refer to

page 188.

Detection capability

The system's detection capability is limited.

Evasion Assistant, refer to page 189.

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.

Safety information

Warning

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, or property damage. Adjust driv-

ing style to traffic conditions. Watch the sur-

rounding 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.

Warning

Turning on system manually

The system is activated by setting the warning

time.

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, or property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch sur-

rounding traffic closely and actively intervene

where appropriate

Additional information:

Setting the warning time, refer to page 182.

Turning system off manually

Depending on national-market version, the ad-

justment can only be made when the vehicle is

at a standstill or in a very low speed range.

If necessary, the switch-off must be confirmed

successively on the control display.

The system issues a warning of a possi-

ble risk of collision at speeds above approx.

3 mph/5 km/h.

If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.

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

temporarily.

Some functions are deactivated earlier.

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.

The system is enabled as soon as the speed

drops below these values again.

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.

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:

▷

A warning signal sounds:

There is a risk of collision. Intervene imme-

diately.

Automatic brake intervention:

Icon

Meaning

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.

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

pedestrian.

Risk of collision, for instance with an

oncoming or a vehicle driving ahead.

When the brake pedal is depressed quickly and

hard, the maximum brake power of the vehicle

is used.

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

crossing from the right.

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

crossing from the left.

Automatic brake intervention

In case of a risk of collision, the system can

assist with an automatic brake intervention, if

necessary.

General risk of collision.

When the vehicle is traveling at a low speed,

the vehicle may come to a complete stop.

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.

Depending on the equipment and situation,

the brake intervention can occur up to approx.

155 mph/250 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.

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.

▷

Red warning light illuminates:

A hazardous situation has been detected.

Increased awareness is required.
