60 km/h the hazard warning lights switch on
automatically.
When the vehicle is stationary, the following
actions are carried out:

Active Brake Assist can help you to minimise the
risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedes-
trians or to reduce the effects of such a collision.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli-
sion, a warning tone sounds and the L dis-
tance warning lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster.
Driving and parking 235
If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist
can initiate autonomous braking directly. In this
case, the warning lamp and warning tone occur
simultaneously with the braking application.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa-
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak-
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
occurs. The brake pressure increases up to maxi-
mum full-stop braking if necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers ( page 212).
