a distance of
about 10
m
in front

~-
If
the driver
does not react
to
a possible serious
collision,
the system can automatically
stop the
ve-
hicle
with
brake pressure
with increasing
intensity
so
as to
reduce
the
speed in
a possible
collision.
Hence
the system can
he

minimise
the
conse-
quences of

The intelligent technology
of the city emer-
gency

of physics. The driver is always responsible
for
braking
in
t
ime.
• Adapt your speed and distance from
the
Vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic
conditions.

A
WARNING
(Continued)
•
The c ity emergency brake function can
carry out
unwanted
brake interventions
in
certain complex driving
situations,
e.g
.
at
traffic
islands,
building sites and metal
tracks.
•
Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn-
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter-
ventions when its function
is
impaired, e.g
.
if
the position of the radar sensor has been
changed.
•
While the vehicle is in
motion,
Front As-
sist does not react to persons, animals and
vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.

The brake pedal travel decreases when the
~
city emergency brake function
is
triggered.
This may make the
brake pedal feel
stiffer.
