114 Driving and operating
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard.
Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop
trying to avoid a potential crash. If the
vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for
up to 2 seconds.
If the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt
by a slight vibration in the brake
pedal.
9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating
speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Operation conditions and system
limitations
In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is a normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
The system is only operational when
the ESC is not faulty, TC is activated
and all passenger seat belts are
fastened.
ESC and TC 3 103.
Driving at a steady speed on roads
with few bends is required.
Cases of non-detection by the
system:
● Pedestrians, cyclists, animals,
objects on the road.
● Vehicles crossing the lane.
● Vehicles driving in the opposite
direction.
Pay particular attention when narrow
vehicles (e.g. motorcycles) are
present, there are vehicles staggered
across the traffic lane and / or when
entering a tunnel or crossing a bridge.
Suspend the system when:
● there are vehicles in a tight bend.
● approaching a roundabout.
● a vehicle cuts in sharply between
your vehicle and the one in front.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is
limited:
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● Detecting all vehicles, especially
vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
● Detecting a vehicle when
weather limits visibility, such as in
fog, rain, or snow.
