Alerting the driver
The driver is warned by following
alerts:
● Level 1: A warning message is
displayed in the Driver
Information Centre, when the
distance to the vehicle ahead
gets too small.
● Level 2: A warning message is
displayed in the Driver
Information Centre and a warning
chime sounds, when a collision is
imminent and immediate driver's
action is required.
● Level 3: Depending on version,
the vehicle may produce a short
brake jerk to confirm the risk of
collision. The immediate driver's
action is required.
9 Warning
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too rapidly, a level 2 alert
may be displayed without a level 1
alert before.
Level 1 alerts depend on the alert
sensitivity set. This alert type is
only displayed in case of moving
vehicles. At lower speed it is
disabled.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
Note
If the alert sensitivity setting with the
longest distance is set, the system
warns earlier. This increases the
safety, but increases the amount of
alerts if the legal safety distance is
not kept. To reduce the number of
alerts, select a shorter alert
sensitivity setting.
Three alert sensitivities can be
selected in the driver assistance
systems menu.
Vehicle personalisation 3 109.
The chosen setting will be memorised
when the ignition has been switched
off. The alert sensitivity will vary
based on selected alert setting.
Smart brake assist
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently
to avoid a collision, this system will
supplement the braking. This
assistance will only be provided if the
driver presses the brake pedal.
Smart brake assist will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is
released.
Automatic braking
Just before the imminent collision,
this function automatically applies
limited braking to reduce the impact
speed of the collision or prohibit a
crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the Driver
Information Centre. If active
emergency braking is finished, m
flashes for a few seconds. During this
time, active emergency braking
cannot be applied if there is a risk of
a further collision.
Depending on version, below a speed
of 30 km/h or 50 km/h, automatic
braking may slow down the vehicle to
a complete stop. If the speed exceeds
