Collision Warning with Auto Brake is tempo-
rarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged.

WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could be
implemented late or not at all if the traffic
situation or external influences mean that
the radar or camera sensor cannot detect
a pedestrian, a vehicle or a cyclist in front
correctly.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to
assist the driver when there is a risk of collid-
ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti-
vated at low speeds - below 4 km/h (3 mph),
which is why the system does not intervene in
situations where the car is approaching a
vehicle in front very slowly, e.g. when parking.
The sensor system has a limited range for
pedestrians and cyclists27 - the system
can give effective warnings and brake
interventions for them at vehicle speeds up
to 50 km/h (30 mph). For stationary or
slow-moving vehicles, warnings and brake
interventions are effective at vehicle
speeds up to 70 km/h (43 mph).
In situations where the driver demonstrates
active, aware driving behaviour, a collision
warning may be postponed slightly in order to
keep unnecessary warnings to a minimum.
The function uses the car's camera sensor,
which has certain limitations.
The car’s camera sensor is also used - as
well as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake
- by the functions:
When Auto Brake has prevented a collision
with a stationary object the car remains sta-
tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the
car is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-
ing, then speed is reduced to the same speed
as that maintained by the vehicle in front.

Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles could be disengaged due to dark-
ness or poor visibility.

Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 241)
•
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at
vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Lane assistance (p. 244)
•
On a car with manual gearbox the engine
stops when Auto Brake has stopped the car,
unless the driver manages to depress the
clutch pedal beforehand.
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
The collision warning system uses the same
radar sensors as the Adaptive cruise control
(p. 206). Read more about radar sensor limi-
tations (p. 216).

•
Do not stick or attach anything to the
windscreen in front of the camera sensor
as this may reduce effectiveness or cause
one or more of the systems dependent on
the camera to stop working.
07
If warnings are perceived as being too fre-
quent or disturbing then the warning distance
can be reduced (p. 235). This would lead to
the system warning at a later stage, which
reduces the total number of warnings.
27
For cyclists, the warning and full brake intervention may come very late or simultaneously.
