camera and radar, active emergency
braking also detects cyclists. Before
the active emergency braking
applies, the driver is warned by the
forward collision alert.

The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, brake pressure,
vehicle speed) to calculate the
probability of a frontal collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver's responsibility
for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. It warns the driver if the
vehicle is at risk of a collision with
the preceding vehicle, a
pedestrian or a cyclist. Just before
the imminent collision, it reduces
the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity.
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
Active emergency braking is
equipped with a front camera and
operates in forward gear in the range
between walking speed and 53 mph.
The system detects stationary
vehicles only if the speed does not
exceed 50 mph.
A precondition is that active
emergency braking is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 107.
If deactivated, m illuminates in the
instrument cluster and a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre
Driving and operating
If the system has been deactivated
manually, it is reactivated
automatically the next time the
ignition is switched on.
The system includes:
● emergency automatic braking
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard.
Front automatic braking can only
occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead is detected.
