Safety
Controls
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.
▷
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of
you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.
▷
▷
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brak‐
ing force is used. Prerequisite for the brake
booster is sufficiently quick and hard stepping
on the brake pedal. The system can assist with
some braking intervention if there is a risk of a
collision. At low speeds vehicles may thus
come to a complete stop.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷
▷
▷
In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
In tight curves.
If the driving stability control systems are
limited or deactivated, for instance DSC
OFF.
The braking intervention is executed only if ve‐
hicle stability has not been restricted, for in‐
stance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Sta‐
bility Control.
▷
If, depending on the vehicle equipment
version, the field of view of the camera in
the mirror or the radar sensor is dirty or ob‐
scured.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.
▷
▷
▷
Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine via the Start/Stop button.
Object detection can be restricted. Follow the
limitations of the detection range and func‐
tional restrictions.
During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle delivery.
If there are constant blinding effects be‐
cause of oncoming light, for instance from
the sun low in the sky.

Safety information
WARNING
Warning sensitivity
The system can react not at all, too late,
incorrectly, or without justification due to the
system limits. There is a risk of accidents or
risk of damage to property. Follow the informa‐
tion regarding the system limits and actively
intervene, if needed.◀
The more sensitive the warning settings are,
for example the warning time, the more warn‐
ings are displayed. Therefore, there may also
be an excess of premature or unjustified warn‐
ings and reactions.
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Collision warning with
braking function
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
The concept
The system can help prevent accidents. If an
accident cannot be prevented, the system will
help reduce the collision speed.
E.g., the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
▷
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
