Following damage to the front end of the vehicle,
have the radar sensor settings and operation
checked at a qualified specialist workshop. This
also applies to collisions at low speeds where
there is no visible damage to the front of the
vehicle.
Following damage to the windscreen, have the
configuration and operation of the camera sys-
tem checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Function
To avoid a collision, BAS PLUS calculates the
brake pressure necessary if:
you approach an obstacle and
R
BAS PLUS has detected a danger of collision
R
At speeds of under30 km/h:if you depress the
brake pedal, BAS PLUS is activated. Braking
assistance from BAS PLUS is provided at the last
possible moment.
At speeds of above30 km/h:if you depress the
brake pedal sharply, BAS PLUS automatically
increases the brake pressure to a degree suited
to the traffic situation.
BAS PLUS provides braking assistance in haz-
ardous situations with vehicles in front within a
speed range between 7 km/h and 250 km/h.
Driving safety systems
At speeds of up to approximately 70 km/h, BAS
PLUS can react to:
stationary objects in the path of your vehicle,
R
e.g. stopped or parked vehicles
pedestrians in the path of your vehicle
R
obstacles crossing your path that move in the
R
detection range of the sensors and are detec-
ted

If BAS PLUS demands particularly high brak-
ing force, preventative passenger protection

emergency braking situation is over.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
BAS PLUS is deactivated and the brakes func-

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
PLUS
General information
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
page 67).
Y
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS consists
of a distance warning function with an autono-
mous braking function and Adaptive Brake
Assist.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS can help
you to minimise the danger of collision with the
vehicle in front or reduce the effects of such a
collision.
If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS
detects a danger of collision, you will be warned
visually and audibly. If you do not react to the
visual and audible collision warning, autono-
mous braking can be initiated in critical situa-
tions. If you apply the brake yourself in a critical
situation, the COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
PLUS Adaptive Brake Assist assists you.
