G12￿Driver￿Assistance￿Systems
6.￿Intelligent￿Safety
Due￿to￿the￿ever￿increasing￿amount￿of￿traffic￿on￿our￿roads,￿assistance￿systems￿in￿vehicles￿continue￿to
gain￿in￿importance.￿They￿assist￿the￿driver￿on￿highways,￿single-lane￿roads￿and￿in￿urban￿environments.
Urban￿traffic￿is￿just￿one￿area￿that￿presents￿an￿ever￿increasing￿number￿of￿challenges.￿Car￿drivers￿must
be￿constantly￿aware￿of￿cyclists￿and￿pedestrians.￿Systems￿such￿as￿the￿pedestrian￿warning￿with￿city
brake￿activation￿are￿helpful￿in￿this￿respect.￿Night￿Vision￿can￿assist￿the￿driver￿when￿driving￿on￿single-
lane￿roads￿with￿adjacent￿woodland￿(deer￿crossings,￿etc.).￿The￿lane￿departure￿and￿Blind￿spot￿detection
as￿well￿as￿the￿side￿collision￿warning￿provide￿even￿more￿safety￿in￿traffic.￿Accidents￿can￿be￿avoided
through￿automatic￿brake￿interventions,￿active￿steering￿interventions￿or￿a￿combination￿of￿both.
Depending￿on￿the￿vehicle￿equipment,￿Intelligent￿Safety￿consists￿of￿one￿or￿several￿systems,￿which￿can
help￿to￿avoid￿a￿potential￿collision.￿The￿following￿systems￿are￿offered￿in￿the￿G12:
• Tailgate￿warning￿with￿braking￿function
• Pedestrian￿warning￿with￿city￿braking￿function
• Night￿Vision￿with￿person￿and￿animal￿recognition
• Lane￿departure￿warning
• Blind￿spot￿detection
• Side￿collision￿warning
The￿Intelligent￿Safety￿button￿enables￿the￿assistance￿systems￿to￿be￿operated￿centrally.￿This￿means￿the
systems￿can￿be￿switched￿on￿or￿off￿using￿a￿button￿and￿the￿submenu￿can￿be￿called￿up￿to￿personalize￿the
settings.
