Deactivation
The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 111. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclists, but may react also to other
objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as
fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen or
the radar unit behind the front
bumper is blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt or by foreign
objects, e.g. stickers
● the windscreen is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
● the bumper is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
license plate support

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert.
Forward collision alert 3 171.
Front pedestrian protection 3 175.
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 111. If deactivated,
m illuminates in the instrument
cluster. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated by
default.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor) to
calculate the probability of a frontal
collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for
driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational
speed ranges.
