Junction warning with City
braking function
Principle
The system can help to avoid accidents with
crossing traffic at junctions and crossroads. If an
accident cannot be avoided, the system helps to
reduce the collision speed.
The system warns of the possible risk of collision
in the urban speed range and brakes automati‐
cally, as necessary.
General
The system is controlled using the following sen‐
sors:
▷ Camera in the area of the rear-view mirror.
▷ Side radar sensors in the front bumper.
▷ Radar sensor in the middle of the front
bumper

Safety
A warning is given at junctions and crossroads if
there is a risk of collision with crossing traffic.
From speeds of approximately 10 km/h, 6 mph,
the system provides a two-stage warning of any
possible risk of collision with vehicles. The timing
of these warnings may vary depending on the
current driving situation.
The Driver Attention Camera in the instrument
cluster detects the driver's view behaviour. The
system also checks whether there are any visual
impairments present. The view behaviour and
visibility conditions also affect the point at which
the warnings are issued.
Detection range
Vehicles that cross the vehicle's direction of
travel can be detected by the system as soon as
these vehicles enter the detection range of the
system.
Safety notes
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the visibility con‐
ditions and traffic situation correctly. There is a
risk of accident. Adapt your driving style to the
traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
Displays and warnings do not relieve you of
your personal responsibility. System limitations
can mean that warnings or system responses
are not issued or are issued too late, incorrectly
or without justification. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic con‐
ditions. Observe the traffic situation and inter‐
vene actively if the situation warrants it.
