174 Driving and operating
Smart brake assist
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently
to avoid a collision, this system will
supplement the braking. This
assistance will only be provided if the
driver presses the brake pedal.
Smart brake assist will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is
released.
Forward collision alert 3 171.
Front pedestrian protection 3 175.
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 various
types of objects, i.e., traffic signs or
vehicles in another lane. Firmly apply
the accelerator pedal to override the
automatic braking if the situation and
the surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance
might be limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● detecting vehicles with a trailer,
tractors, muddy vehicles, etc.
● detecting a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow
● driving during nighttime
● 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
● the bumper is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
license plate support
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and be ready to take
action to avoid crashes.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on
roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed
with the engine running
● when the vehicle is fitted with
snow chains
● when a spare wheel is fitted that
is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car
wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a
rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been
damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been
damaged
● if the brake lights are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
