CONTROLS
The system sounds a warning in the city speed
range before an imminent collision and activates
brakes independently, if needed.
General information
The system is controlled by the following sen‐
sors:
▷ Camera in the area of the interior mirror.
▷ Radar sensors on the side in the front
bumper.
▷ Radar sensor in the center in the front
bumper.
At intersections and junctions, a warning is is‐
sued when a danger of collision with crossing
traffic is detected.
The system issues a two-phase warning of a
possible risk of collision with vehicles at speeds
above approx. 6 mph/10 km/h. The timing of
warnings may vary with the current driving situa‐
tion.
The Driver Attention Camera in the instrument
cluster captures the driver's field of vision. Addi‐
tionally, the system checks for visual impair‐
ments. Field of vision and visibility also affect the
timing of the warnings.
Detection range
Vehicles that cross your direction of travel can be
detected by the system as soon as these vehi‐
cles enter into the detection range of the system.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
