applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity has to be set to
close, normal or distant in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 123.
The chosen setting will remain until it
is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation
The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 123.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react
also to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as
fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is
blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,
dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert or the front pedestrian protection
alert.
Forward collision alert 3 186
Front pedestrian protection 3 190
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for
driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
