Overview

Concept

The system may prevent some accidents. In the

event of an accident, the system may reduce im‐

pact speed.

The system sounds a warning before an immi‐

nent collision and activates brakes independ‐

ently, if needed.

The Brake Assistant function activates and ap‐

plies the brakes with limited force and duration.

A camera in the area of the interior mirror con‐

trols the system.

General information

Overview

The system warns at two levels of an imminent

danger of collision at speeds from approx.

3 mph/5 km/h. The timing of warnings may vary

with the current driving situation.

Braking is performed at speeds up to approxi‐

mately 35 mph/60 km/h.

Prewarning

▷ All Intelligent Safety systems are

switched on.

This warning is provided, for instance when there

is impending danger of a collision or the distance

to the vehicle ahead is too small.

▷ The LED lights up green.

If a prewarning is provided, respond by braking

as warranted.

Hold down button:

▷ All Intelligent Safety systems are

Acute warning with braking function

An acute warning is displayed when there is an

imminent danger of collision due to the vehicle

approaching another object at a high speed.

▷ The LED goes out.

Setting the warning time

The warning time can be set.

Via iDrive:

The driver must intervene actively when there is

an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is as‐

sisted by a minor automatic braking intervention

in a possible risk of collision.

1. "My Vehicle"

Acute warnings may be provided even when

there has been no prior warning.

2. "Vehicle settings"

3. "Intelligent Safety"

4. "Warning time"

Braking intervention

5. Select the desired setting.

The warning prompts the driver to intervene.

During a warning, the maximum braking force is

used. This requires the brake pedal to be de‐

pressed sufficiently quickly and forcefully. If there

is a risk of collision, the system may assist with

braking. When the vehicle is traveling at a low

speed, the vehicle may come to a complete stop.

The selected time is stored for the driver profile

currently used.

Warning with braking function

Display

A warning symbol appears in the instrument

cluster and in the Head-up Display if a collision

with a detected vehicle is imminent.

The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle

stability has not been restricted, for instance by

deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Control.

The braking intervention can be interrupted by

stepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively

moving the steering wheel.

Safety

CONTROLS

The system’s ability to detect objects may be

limited in some circumstances. Refer to the in‐

formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding the

limitations of the system and actively intervene

as warranted.

▷ If the field of view of the camera in the mirror

is dirty or obscured.

▷ Up to 10 seconds after drive-ready state is

established.

▷ During calibration of the camera immediately

after vehicle delivery.

System limits

▷ If there are constant blinding effects because

of oncoming light, for instance from the sun

low in the sky.

Safety information

Warning

Warning sensitivity

The system is designed to operate in certain

conditions and circumstances. Due to condi‐

tions or other factors, the system may not re‐

spond. There may be a risk of accident or risk

of damage to property. Actively intervene as

warranted. Refer to the information in this Own‐

er’s Manual regarding the scope of the sys‐

tem’s operation and limitations.

The more sensitive the warning settings are, for

example the warning time, the more warnings are

displayed. Therefore, there may also be an ex‐

cess of premature or unjustified warnings and re‐

actions.

Daytime pedestrian collision

mitigation

Detection range

Concept

The system's detection potential is limited.

The system may prevent some accidents with

pedestrians.

Thus, a system reaction might not come or

might come late.

When driving at city speeds, the system will is‐

sue a warning if there is imminent risk of a colli‐

sion with pedestrians, and support this with a

light braking function.

The following situations may not be detected, for

example:

▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach

them at high speed.

The camera in the area of the interior mirror con‐

trols the system.

▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,

or sharply decelerating vehicles.

▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.

▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.

General information

In sufficiently bright conditions, the system is‐

sues a warning of a possible risk of collision with

pedestrians in the speed range from approx.

6 mph/10 km/h to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h

Functional limitations

The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐

lowing situations:

The system reacts to people who are within the

detection range of the system.

▷ In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.

▷ In tight curves.

▷ If the driving stability control systems are de‐

activated, for instance DSC OFF.
