Active Brake Assist
▌Function of Active Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist consists of the following func-
tions:
Collision warning
R
Autonomous braking function
R
Situation-dependent brake force boosting
R
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: Eva-

sive Steering Assist and cornering function
Active Brake Assist can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedes-
trians or to reduce the effects of such a collision.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli-
sion, a warning tone will sound and the Active
Brake Assist warning lamp L will light up.

In the Assistance menu, an insufficient distance
1 to the vehicle in front is displayed in red. If you
further reduce the distance, the vehicle in front
will also be highlighted in red. When the system
detects a risk of collision, red radar waves
appear in front of the vehicle.
Vehicles with PRE-SAFE
try, an additional haptic warning will occur in the
form of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat
belt.
If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist
can initiate autonomous braking directly. In this
case, the warning lamp and warning tone occur
simultaneously with the braking application.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa-
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak-
ing, situation-dependent brake force boosting will
occur. The brake pressure will increase up to max-
imum full-stop braking if necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers (
