Safety

Prewarning

This warning is provided, for instance when there
is impending danger of a collision or the distance
to the vehicle ahead is too small.
If a prewarning is provided, respond by braking
as warranted.

Acute warning with braking function

Acute warning is displayed in case of the immi‐
nent danger of a collision when the vehicle ap‐
proaches another object at a high differential
speed.
If an acute warning is issued, intervene in the sit‐
uation yourself. Depending on the driving situa‐
tion, the acute warning may be accompanied by
a brief activation of the braking system.
With the warning time setting "Late" the brief ac‐
tivation of the braking system is omitted.
If necessary, the system provides additional as‐
sistance, such as with an automatic braking inter‐
vention, in a possible risk of collision.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.

Braking intervention

The warning prompts the driver to react. During
a warning, the maximum required braking force is
used when the brake is actuated. Prerequisite is
sufficiently quick and hard stepping on the brake
pedal.
The system can additionally assist possibly with
automatic braking intervention if there is a risk of
a collision.
When the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, the
vehicle may come to a complete stop.
City brake function: the braking intervention oc‐
curs to up to approx. 50 mph/80 km/h.
With radar sensor: the braking intervention oc‐
curs to up to approx. 155 mph/250 km/h.
At speeds above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h, the
braking intervention occurs as a brief braking
pressure. No automatic delay occurs.
