7.2.2.￿Early￿warning
Occasions￿when￿an￿early￿warning￿is￿issued￿include￿when￿there￿is￿a￿collision￿risk￿because￿the￿vehicle
driving￿ahead￿is￿being￿driven￿at￿a￿much￿slower￿speed￿and/or￿if￿the￿distance￿to￿a￿driven￿or￿stationary
vehicle￿ahead￿is￿extremely￿short.
An￿early￿warning￿is￿indicated￿by￿a￿vehicle￿symbol￿which￿lights￿up￿red￿in￿the￿instrument￿cluster￿(KOMBI)
or￿Head‐Up￿Display.￿The￿early￿warning￿is￿only￿issued￿for￿vehicles￿and￿not￿for￿pedestrians.
The￿point￿at￿which￿the￿early￿warning￿is￿issued￿can￿be￿configured￿in￿the￿"Intelligent￿Safety￿systems"
menu￿on￿the￿central￿information￿display￿(CID).
The￿collision￿warning￿is￿dependent￿on￿the￿vehicle's￿own￿driving￿speed.￿The￿distance￿measured￿for￿the
collision￿warning￿is￿significantly￿lower￿than￿the￿legally￿required￿minimum￿distance.￿It￿is￿therefore￿the
responsibility￿of￿the￿driver￿to￿adhere￿to￿the￿legal￿minimum￿distance.
7.2.3.￿Acute￿warning
The￿acute￿warning￿is￿issued￿by￿the￿system￿as￿late￿as￿possible￿and￿only￿if￿there￿is￿an￿imminent￿danger
of￿a￿collision￿when￿the￿vehicle￿is￿approaching￿the￿vehicle￿driving￿ahead￿at￿a￿relatively￿high￿differential
speed￿or￿if￿there￿is￿an￿imminent￿danger￿of￿a￿collision￿with￿a￿pedestrian.￿The￿time￿of￿the￿acute￿warning
is￿measured￿so￿that￿a￿collision￿can￿only￿be￿avoided￿by￿immediate￿emergency￿braking￿or￿by￿swerving.
The￿acute￿warning￿therefore￿cannot￿be￿deliberately￿brought￿about￿or￿monitored￿by￿the￿driver.￿The
acute￿warning￿is￿issued￿for￿vehicles￿and￿pedestrians.
