CONTROLS
Detection range
The system's detection capability is limited.
Only objects that are detected by the system are
taken into account.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
The following situations may not be detected, for
instance:
▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,
or strongly decelerating vehicles.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear view.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Upper speed limit
If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated
temporarily. When the vehicle slows down to be‐
low this speed, the system is reactivated.
System limits of the sensors
Additional information:
▷ Cameras, refer to page 35.
▷ Radar sensors, refer to page 36.
Functional limitations
The system may be limited in the following situa‐
tions:

Safety
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A38726 - VI/21
▷ In tight curves.
▷ If the driving stability control systems are lim‐
ited or deactivated, for instance DSC OFF.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine
via the Start/Stop button.
Warning sensitivity
The more sensitive the warning settings are, for
example the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. Therefore, there may also be an ex‐
cess of premature or unjustified warnings and re‐
actions.
Pedestrian Warning with
City Collision Mitigation
Principle
The Pedestrian Warning warns in the city speed
range of possible risk of collision with pedes‐
trians and bicycle riders and may brake inde‐
pendently. In the event of an accident, the sys‐
tem may reduce impact speed.
General information
Sensors detect the traffic situation.
The system issues a warning of a possible risk of
collision with pedestrians and cyclists at speeds
above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h.
The system reacts to pedestrians and cyclists
who are within the detection range of the sys‐
tem.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
