& WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited detection performance of Active
Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa‐
tions.
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
#
fic situation; do not rely on Active Brake
Assist alone. Active Brake Assist is only
an aid. The driver is responsible for
maintaining a sufficiently safe distance
to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed
and for braking in good time.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
#
essary.

various speed ranges:
The distance warning function can issue a warn‐
ing in the following situations:
From approximately 30 km/h, if over several
R
seconds the distance maintained to the vehi‐
cle travelling in front is insufficient for the
driven speed, the L distance warning
lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
From approximately 7 km/h, if your vehicle
R
is critically close to a vehicle, cyclist or
pedestrian, you will hear an intermittent
warning tone and the L distance warning
lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
Brake immediately or take evasive action, provi‐
ded it is safe to do so and the traffic situation
allows this.
