If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In particularly critical situations, Active Brake
Assist can also initiate autonomous braking
directly. In this case, the warning lamp and warn-
ing 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.

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.

Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-

You are warned by the distance warning function
from approximately 30 km/h if, over several sec-
onds, the distance maintained to the vehicle trav-
elling in front is insu cient for the driven speed.
In this case, the L warning lamp in the driver's
display lights up. If the distance to the vehicle in
