Warning with braking function
Display
If there is a risk of collision with a detected
vehicle, a warning symbol is shown in the
instrument cluster.
Symbol Measure
Symbol illuminates red: advance
warning.
Brake and increase the distance.
Symbol flashes red and an
acoustic signal sounds: acute
warning.
Brake and perform an evasive
manoeuvre, if necessary.
Advance warning
An advance warning is shown, for example
if a danger of collision is anticipated or
there is a very short distance to a vehicle
ahead.
The driver must intervene personally if
there is an acute warning.
Acute warning with braking function
An acute warning is given when the vehicle
is approaching another object at a high dif-
ferential speed and there is an immediate
risk of a collision.
The driver must intervene personally if
there is an acute warning. If necessary, the
driver is assisted by slight automatic brake
intervention if there is a risk of collision.
An acute warning can be triggered even
without a previous advance warning.

Safety
Brake intervention
The warning prompts the driver to inter-
vene actively. Maximum braking force is
used during a warning. In order for braking
force support to be used, it is necessary for
the brake to be pressed sufficiently quickly
and firmly. The system can also assist by ap-
plying the brakes lightly if there is the risk
of a collision. At low speeds, the vehicle can
be braked to a stop.
Manual gearbox: when the vehicle is braked
to a stop, the engine may shut off.
The brakes are only applied if driving stabil-
ity has not been impaired, for example by
deactivation of Dynamic Stability Control
DSC.
Braking can be discontinued either by de-
pressing the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
The detection of objects may be limited.
Take into account the detection range limits
and the functional limitations.
System limits
Safety note
WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or may
respond too late, incorrectly, or without
justification due to limits of the system.
There is a danger of accidents or damage
to property. Observe the information on
the system limits and intervene actively if
necessary.
Detection range
The detection ability of the system is limi-
ted.
For this reason, the system may fail to re-
spond or only respond after a delay.
