operation
The Brake Support and Auto Brake functions
are always activated - they cannot be deacti-
vated.
Settings for the collision warning system are
made from MY CAR via the centre console
screen and menu system, see MY CAR (p. 113).
The camera sensor's ability to see pedes-
trians at dusk and dawn is limited - just like
the human eye.
Settings for the collision warning system are
made via the centre console's screen and the
menu system MY CAR, see (p. 113).
The camera sensor's capacity to detect
pedestrians is deactivated when driving in
darkness and tunnels - even when street-
lights are lit.
Warning signals On and Off
Light and acoustic signals
When the collision warning system's light and
acoustic warnings are activated, the warning lamp
(no. [1] in previous illustration) is tested each
time the engine is started by briefly illuminating
the warning lamp's separate points of light.
WARNING
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is a means
of assistance. The function cannot detect all
pedestrians in all situations and does not see,
for example:
After starting the engine, both light and acoustic
signals are switched off:
partially obscured pedestrians, people in
clothing that hides their body contour or
pedestrians shorter than 80 cm.

It is possible to select whether the collision warn-
ing system's acoustic and visual warning signals
should be switched on or off.
Audible signal
After starting the engine the warning sound can
be activated/deactivated separately:
The driver is always responsible that the vehi-
cle is driven properly and with a safety dis-
tance adapted to the speed.
When starting the engine, the setting that was
selected when the engine was switched off is
obtained automatically.
