Functional limitations
The system may be limited in the following
situations:
– In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snow-
fall.
– In tight curves.
– If the camera field of view or the wind-
shield is dirty or covered.
– If the driving stability control systems
are deactivated, for instance DSC OFF.
– Up to 10 seconds after the start of the
engine via the Start/Stop button.
– During calibration of the camera imme-
diately after vehicle delivery.
– If there are constant blinding glares be-
cause of oncoming light, for instance
from the sun low in the sky.
Warning sensitivity
The more sensitive the warning settings
are, the more warnings are displayed.
Therefore, there may also be an excess of
unwarranted warnings and responses.
Pedestrian Warning with City
light braking function
Principle
The system may prevent some accidents
with pedestrians.
When driving in the city speed range, the
system will issue a warning if there is immi-
nent risk of a collision with pedestrians, and
support this with a light braking function.
The camera at the base of the interior mir-
ror controls the system.
General information
In sufficiently bright conditions, the system
issues a warning of a possible risk of colli-

Safety
sion with pedestrians and assists with brake
intervention just before a collision in the
speed range from approx. 6 mph/10 km/h
to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h.
The system reacts to people who are within
the detection range of the system.
Detection range
The detection range in front of the vehicle
is divided into two areas:
– Central area, arrow 1, directly in front
of the vehicle.
– Extended area, arrows 2, to the right
and left of the central area.
A collision is imminent if pedestrians are lo-
cated within the central area. A warning is
issued about pedestrians who are located
within the extended area only if they are
moving in the direction of the central area.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There is
a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to
traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding
traffic situation closely, be ready to take
over steering and braking at any time, and
actively intervene where appropriate.
