Emergency braking at low speed
In a driving speed range of approx. 5 km/h to approx. 30 km/h, the automatic
braking action is not preceded by a warning. In the event of an immediate risk
of impact, automatic braking is carried out with the breaking force increasing
in stages.
With automatic braking the symbol appears

If the system detects a risk of collision, the symbol
display and you will hear an acoustic signal.
At the same time, the braking system is prepared for possible emergency brak-
ing.
The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.
›
If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle at a driving speed range
of approx. 30 km/h to approx. 210 km/h.
›
If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle at a driving speed
range of approx. 30 km/h to approx. 85 km/h.
When the advance warning is issued, the brake pedal must be pressed or the
moving obstacle avoided!

If the driver fails to respond to the acute warning, the system starts to apply
the brakes automatically with increasing stopping power in several stages.

If the driver does not brake sufficiently in the event of an impending collision,
the system automatically increases the braking force.
The brake support only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly press-
ed down.

If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
■
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the accel-
■
erator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
