Collision warning
Together with a camera sensor, the radar sen-
sor detects pedestrians, stationary vehicles as
well as vehicles driving in the same direction in
front of the car.
In the event of there being a risk of collision with
a pedestrian or such a vehicle your attention is
drawn with a red flashing warning signal and a
warning sound.
Collision Warning & Pedestrian Detection with Auto Brake*
Brake support
If the risk of collision still increases after the
collision warning then the brake support is acti-
vated. The brake support prepares the brake
system for rapid braking and the brakes are
applied gently, which may be noticed as a
slight jerk.
If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently
quickly then full brake function is implemented.
Brake support also reinforces the driver's brak-
ing if the system considers that the braking is
not sufficient to avoid a collision.
Auto Brake
If the driver has not yet started an evasive
manoeuvre in this situation and the risk of a
collision is imminent then the Auto Brake func-
tion comes into effect, without the driver need-
ing to touch the brake pedal. Braking then
takes place with full brake force in order to
reduce collision speed, or with limited brake
force if it is sufficient to avoid collision.
