Collision warning* – limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may make
the visual warning signal in the windshield dif-
ficult to see. For this reason, always activate
the audible warning signal.
The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying a large object.

The camera's capacity to see a pedes-
trian at dawn or dusk is limited, much as
it is for the human eye.

sages (p. 220)

The camera's function is deactivated and
will not detect a pedestrian in darkness or
in tunnels, even if there is street lighting in
the area.
•
Slippery driving conditions increase braking
distance, which can reduce the system's
capacity to avoid a collision. In these condi-
tions, the ABS and stability systems provide
the best possible braking effect while helping
to maintain stability.
WARNING
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake is designed to be a
supplementary driving aid. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driv-
er's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for operat-
ing the vehicle in a safe manner.

NOTE
The visual warning signal may be tempo-
rarily disengaged in the event of high pas-
senger compartment temperature due to
strong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the
audible warning signal will be used, even if
it has been deactivated in the menu sys-
tem.
The system cannot detect all pedes-
trians in all situations, such as in dark-
ness/at night and cannot detect parti-
ally hidden pedestrians, people who
are less than approx. 32 in. (80 cm)
tall, or people wearing clothing that
obscures the contours of their bodies.
