Advanced Driving Assistance Systems
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclists directly ahead, when the driver
does not actively take action either by
manual braking or by steering.
Before the active emergency braking
applies, the driver may be warned by the
forward collision warning.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, brake pressure, vehicle
speed) to calculate the probability of a
frontal collision.

Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver and not
to replace the driver's attention.
The driver accepts full responsibility
when driving the vehicle.
When using driver assistance systems,
always take care regarding the current
traffic situation.
Warning
This system is not intended to replace
the driver's responsibility for driving the
vehicle and looking ahead. It warns
the driver if the vehicle is at risk of
a collision with the preceding vehicle,
a pedestrian or a cyclist. Just before
the imminent collision, it reduces the
vehicle's speed to avoid a collision or
to limit its severity.
The system may also react on animals.
However, animals smaller than 0.5 m
or objects on the road may not be
detected.
Note
To comply with the European
general safety regulations, some driver
assistance systems can only be
deactivated on the Info Display until
the next time the ignition is reactivated.
The system is automatically activated by
default every time the engine is started.
After a sudden lane change, the system
needs a certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready to
take action and apply the brakes and
steer to avoid collisions.
Active Emergency Braking
(AEB)
Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
