age: Evasive Steering Assist and cornering
function
Active Brake Assist can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or
pedestrians or to reduce the effects of such a
collision.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli‐
sion, a warning tone sounds and the L dis‐
tance warning lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster.
If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake
Assist can initiate autonomous braking directly.
In this case, the warning lamp and warning tone
occur simultaneously with the braking applica‐
tion.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa‐
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak‐
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up to max‐
imum full-stop braking if necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers ( page 150).
