There will only be brake intervention if Dy‐
namic Stability Control, DSC is activated.
Braking can be discontinued either by pressing
the accelerator pedal or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
Detection of objects can be restricted. Limita‐
tions of the detection range and functional re‐
strictions are to be considered.
System limits
Detection range
The detection ability of the system is limited.
For this reason, system responses may be
missing or delayed.
It is possible that the following are not detec‐
ted:
▷ Slow-moving vehicle when approaching at
high speed.
▷ Vehicles suddenly cutting in or decelerat‐
ing heavily.
▷ Vehicles with unusual rear view.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead.
Restrictions of the function
The function can be restricted, for example in
the following situations:
▷ In thick fog, rain, spray or snowfall.
▷ On sharp bends.
▷ When deactivating vehicle stability control
systems, for example DSC OFF.
▷ If the field of view of the camera in the mir‐
ror is soiled or covered.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after starting the engine
using the start/stop button.
▷ During the calibration process of the cam‐
era immediately after the vehicle is sup‐
plied.
▷ When there is sustained glare effect due to
light opposite, for example the sun low in
the sky.

Security
Sensitivity of the warnings
The greater the sensitivity of the warning set‐
tings, for example warning time, the more
warnings will be displayed. As a result, there
may be an increased number of incorrect
warnings.
Person warning with city
braking function
Principle
The system can help to avoid accidents with
pedestrians.
The system warns of the possible risk of colli‐
sion with pedestrians in the urban speed area
and also contains a braking function.
The system is controlled by the camera in the
area of the rear-view mirror.
General
The system warns with sufficient brightness
from approx. 10 km/h, approx. 6 mph up to ap‐
prox. 60 km/h, approx. 35 mph of any risk of
collision with pedestrians and supports this by
briefly applying the brakes before a collision.
Here, persons are taken into account if they
are located within the detection range of the
system.
