If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa‐
tion, or apply the brakes during autonomous
braking, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up to maxi‐
mum full-stop braking if necessary. Situation-
dependent braking assistance only intervenes
when the brakes are applied firmly; otherwise, it
remains within the autonomous braking process.
& WARNING Risk of accident caused by
limited detection performance of Active
Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa‐
tions.
Due to the nature of the system, complex
driving conditions may also cause Brake
Assist to intervene or not intervene without
reason. In such cases, and in the event of
Active Brake Assist malfunctioning, the brake
system will continue to be available with full
brake boost and BAS.
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
#
fic situation; do not rely on Active Brake
Assist alone. Active Brake Assist is only
The distance warning function can aid you in the following situations with an intermittent warn‐
ing tone and a warning lamp:
Vehicles travel‐ Stationary vehi‐
ing in front cles
Up to approx. Up to approx.
155 mph 124 mph
(250 km/h) (200 km/h)
Autonomous braking function
The autonomous braking function may intervene at speeds starting from approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h) in the following situations:
Vehicles travel‐ Stationary vehi‐
ing in front cles
Up to approx. Up to approx.
155 mph 124 mph
(250 km/h) (200 km/h)
an aid. The driver of the vehicle is
responsible for keeping a sufficiently
safe distance to the vehicle in front, for
vehicle speed and for braking in good
time.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
#
essary.
Also observe the system limits of Active Brake
Assist.
The individual subfunctions are available in
the following speed ranges:
Distance warning function
The distance warning function warns you at
speeds greater than approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h), if your vehicle is critically close to a
vehicle or pedestrian.
An intermittent warning tone sounds and the
· distance warning lamp lights up in the
instrument cluster.
Brake immediately or take evasive action, provi‐
ded it is safe to do so and the traffic situation
allows this.
