Active Brake Assist can help you to minimise the
risk of a collision with vehicles or pedestrians or
to reduce the e ects of such a collision.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli-
sion, a warning tone sounds and the L warn-
ing lamp lights up in the Instrument Display.
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 situation
detected as critical by Active Brake Assist, or
apply the brake during autonomous braking, situa-
tion-dependent brake force boosting occurs. The
brake pressure increases up to maximum full-stop
braking if necessary.
If the autonomous braking function or the situa-
tion-dependent brake force boosting is triggered,
additional preventive measures for occupant pro-
®
tection (PRE-SAFE
) may also be initiated, if the
vehicle is equipped with these.
