Up to a speed of approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h), Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic
function may react to:

If there is an increased risk of a collision,
preventive passenger protection measures
®
(PRE-SAFE ) are triggered (
If the risk of collision with the vehicle in front
remains and you do not brake, take evasive
action or accelerate significantly, the vehicle
may perform automatic emergency braking, up
to the point of full brake application. Automatic
emergency braking is not performed until imme-
diately prior to an imminent accident.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical sit-
uation or during autonomous braking, braking
assistance is provided according to the situa-
tion. If necessary, this increases the brake pres-
sure up to full brake application.
To avoid a collision, Active Brake Assist with
cross-traffic function calculates the brake force
necessary if:
you approach an obstacle, and

has detected a risk of a collision
When driving at a speed
under20 mph(30 km/h): if you depress the
brake pedal, Active Brake Assist with cross-traf-
fic function is activated. The increase in brake
pressure from Active Brake Assist with cross-
traffic function is carried out at the last possible
moment.
When driving at a speed
above20 mph(30 km/h): if you depress the
brake pedal sharply, Active Brake Assist with
cross-traffic function automatically increases
the brake pressure to a degree suited to the
traffic situation.
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function
provides braking assistance in hazardous situa-
tions with vehicles in front within a speed range
between 4 mph (7 km/h) and 155 mph
(250 km/h).
Up to a speed of approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h) the Active Brake Assist with cross-
