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 application.
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 maxi-
mum full-stop braking if necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers ( page 167).

If autonomous braking or situation-dependent
braking assistance has occurred, display

ARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited detection performance of Active
Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly iden-
tify objects and complex tra c situations.
In such cases, Active Brake Assist might:
Give a warning or brake without reason
R
Not give a warning or not brake

Active Brake Assist is only an aid. The driver is
responsible for maintaining a su ciently safe
distance to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed
and for braking in good time.
Always pay careful attention to the tra c

situation; do not rely on Active Brake
Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-
#
sary.
Also observe the system limits of Active Brake
