Distance warning

and
The display of the distance warning is for vehicles with MAXI DOT display.
If a safe distance from the vehicle ahead is fallen short of, the warning light ap-
pears in the display

Immediately increase the proximity if the current traffic situation allows
you to do so!
The proximity at which the warning is displayed depends on the current speed.
The warning may occur when driving between about 60 km/h and 210 km/h.

Emergency braking at low speed
If there is a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of about 5 km/h to 45
km/h, the system triggers an automatic braking.

Advance warning
If the system detects a risk of collision, the warning light appears on the dis-
play

and an audible signal is emitted.
The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.
▶
If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle in a speed range of ap-
proximately 30 km/h to 210 km/h.
▶
If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of ap-
proximately 30 km/h to 85 km/h.
With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is
to be avoided!
Immediate warning and automatic braking - a moving obstacle
If the driver does not react to the advance warning when in danger of a colli-
sion with a moving obstacle, the system briefly applies the brake automatically
via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the potential danger of a
collision again.
If the driver does not respond to acute warning, the system begins to auto-
matically brake the vehicle.
Automatic braking - a stationary obstacle
If the driver does not respond to the advance warning of the risk of a collision
with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of approximately 30 km/h to 60
km/h, the system initiates automatic braking.
Information on automatic braking
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
Brake assist
If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-
matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly
pressed down.
