Safety and Security
Driving safety systems
PRE-SAFE ® Brake does not always clearly
interpret complex traffic situations. If a vi-
sual and/or acoustic warning is issued in
an uncritical driving situation, or if the ve-
hicle brakes lightly, you can interrupt the
PRE-SAFE
® Brake maneuver by
ț pressing down all the way on the accel-
erator or using kickdown
ț releasing the brake pedal
The PRE-SAFE ® Brake maneuver is termi-
nated immediately when
ț you avoid the obstacle by evasive
steering
ț you drive less than 9 mph (15 km/h)
ț an obstacle can no longer be identified
ahead of you
ț the system no longer senses the risk of
a collision
After a hard collision or damage to the
front of the vehicle from an accident, have
the settings and operation of the radar
sensors checked by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
i PRE-SAFE ® Brake will remain passive while
DISTRONIC Plus* is switched on ( ୴ page 451).
