City Emergency Brake

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
If the driver does not react to a possible
collision when driving at speeds between
approximately 4 km/h (2.5 mph) and 30 km/h
(19 mph), the system can – without prior
warning – brake the vehicle automatically by
increasing the braking force.

If the area monitoring system is switched on, the City Emergency Brake is active as a component of the area monitoring system.
Depending on the equipment level, the area monitoring system and City Emergency Brake function can be activated or deactivated using the
button and the and
infotainment system
.
The City Emergency Brake function gathers information on the traffic situation up to a distance of about 15 m in front of the vehicle within a
speed range of about 4 km/h (2.5 mph) to 30 km/h (19 mph).
The system prepares the vehicle for emergency braking if it detects a possible collision with a vehicle ahead
If the driver does not react to a possible serious collision, the system can automatically stop the vehicle with brake pressure with increasing
intensity so as to reduce the speed in a possible collision. Hence the system can help minimise the consequences of an accident.
