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 risk of a collision with the
vehicle in front or reduce the effects of such a
collision.
If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS
detects that there is a risk of a collision, you will
be warned visually and acoustically. If you do not
react to the visual and audible collision warning,
autonomous braking can be initiated in critical
situations. If you apply the brake yourself in a
critical situation, the COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIST PLUS Adaptive Brake Assist assists you.

Important safety notes
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the case of:
dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R
snow or heavy rain
R
interference by other radar sources
R
strong radar reflections, for example, in multi-
R
storey car parks
a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
R
motorcycle
a vehicle travelling in front on a different line
R
new vehicles or after a service on the COLLI-
R
SION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS system
Observe the important safety notes in the
"Running-in notes" section (
Following damage to the front end of the vehicle,
have the configuration and operation of the
radar sensor checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. This also applies to collisions at slow
speeds where there is no visible damage to the
front of the vehicle.
Activating/deactivating
The COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS is
automatically active after switching on the igni-
tion.
You can activate or deactivate COLLISION PRE-
VENTION ASSIST PLUS in the on-board com-
puter (
page 245). When deactivated, the dis-
Y
tance warning function and the autonomous
braking function are also deactivated.
If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS is
deactivated, the æ symbol appears in the
assistance graphics display.
Distance warning function
General notes
The distance warning function can help you to
minimise the risk of a collision with the vehicle in
front or reduce the effects of such a collision. If
the distance warning function detects that there
is a risk of a collision, you will be warned visually
and acoustically.
