Warning stages

Prewarning

This warning is issued, for example, when
there is the impending danger of a collision or
the distance to the vehicle ahead is too small.

Acute warning with braking function

Warning of the imminent danger of a collision
when the vehicle approaches another object at
a relatively high differential speed.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is
assisted by an automatic braking intervention
in a possible risk of collision.
The detection of objects can be influeneced by
technical system limitations, e. g. pedestrians
or stationary objects. Limitations of the detec‐
tion range and functional restricitions are to be
considered.
The braking intervention is executed with lim‐
ited braking force and for a brief period only.
The intervention can bring the vehicle to a
complete stop.
The braking intervention is executed only if
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on
and Dynamic Traction Control DTC is acti‐
vated.
Above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h, the braking
intervention occurs as a brief braking pressure.
No automatic delay occurs.

Adapting your speed and driving style
The warning does not relieve the driver

of the responsibility to adapt his or her driving
speed and style to the traffic conditions.◀

The braking intervention can be interrupted by
pressing on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.

Tow-starting and towing
When tow-starting and towing the vehi‐

cle, switch off the Intelligent Safety systems;
otherwise, improper behavior of the braking
function of individual systems could result in
an accident.◀

Display in the instrument cluster

The collision warning can be issued in the in‐
strument cluster, in the Head-up Display, and
acoustically.
