— After external force on the radar sensor,
e.g. after a rear-end collision.
— If the windscreen is damaged in the area
of the camera window.
— In the event of multiple unwanted inter-
ventions.
WARNING
Failure to switch off Front Assist in the sit-
uations mentioned can result in accidents
and serious injuries.
Pedestrian Monitoring
Please refer to
at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159.
Pedestrian Monitoring and Cyclist Moni-
toring can help to avoid accidents with
pedestrians and cyclists or to mitigate
the consequences of an accident.
The system may give a warning when there is
a risk of collision, prepare the vehicle for
emergency braking, help to brake the vehicle
or perform an automatic brake intervention.
In the event of an advance warning, the red
warning lamp
lights up in the instrument
cluster display.
When Front Assist is switched on and active,
Pedestrian Monitoring is also active as an ele-
ment of Front Assist.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of Pedestrian
Monitoring cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the lim-
its of the system. Never let the extra con-
venience afforded by Pedestrian Monitoring
tempt you into taking any risks when driv-
ing. The driver is always responsible for
braking in time.
·
If Pedestrian Monitoring issues a warn-
ing, brake your vehicle immediately de-
pending on the traffic situation or avoid
the object.
·
Pedestrian Monitoring cannot prevent
accidents and serious injuries by itself.
·
Pedestrian Monitoring can issue unnec-
essary warnings and carry out unwanted
braking interventions in complex driving
situations, e.g. in a sharply turning main
road with an intersection.
·
Pedestrian Monitoring can issue unnec-
essary warnings and carry out unwanted
braking interventions when its function
is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is
covered or if the camera window is dirty.
·
Be prepared to take over control of the
vehicle yourself at all times.
Swerve support
Please refer to
at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159.
The swerve support function can help to
steer the vehicle around an obstacle in
critical driving situations.
If you steer to avoid an obstacle after an ur-
gent warning, swerve support can help you.
Swerve support brakes individual wheels and
supports you with a corrective steering inter-
vention as long as you steer.
Speed range
Swerve support is available in a speed range
from around 30 km/h (20 mph) up to around
150 km/h (90 mph).
Limits
Swerve support does not react to crossing
objects and animals. Always also observe the
fundamental limits of Front Assist
