CONTROLS
The system is used to detect certain critical
driving situations that might lead to an acci-
dent. This includes the following critical driving
situations:
▷ Emergency braking.
▷ Severe understeering.
▷ Severe oversteering.
Certain functions of several systems can,
within the system limits, lead to Active Protec-
tion triggering:
▷ Forward Collision Mitigation: automatic
brake intervention.
▷ Forward Collision Mitigation: brake booster.
▷ Rear-end collision preparation: detection of
impending rear-end collisions.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment. Due to the
system limits, critical situations might not be
detected reliably or in time. There is a risk
of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic con-
ditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropriate.
Function
Depending on vehicle equipment, the driver
and front passenger seat belts are automati-
cally tightened once after driving off, if the seat
belt is fastened.
Depending on the equipment and require-
ments, the following individual functions are
active in accident-critical driving situations:
▷ Automatic pretensioning of the front seat
belts.
▷ Automatic closing of the windows.
The windows remain open with a small
gap.

▷ The glass sunroof/panoramic glass sunroof
closes automatically.
The sun protection is also closed.
▷ Automatic positioning of the backrest for
the front passenger seat.
After a critical driving situation without an acci-
dent, the front seat belts are loosened again. If
the belt tension does not loosen automatically,
stop the vehicle and unbuckle the seat belt us-
ing the red button in the buckle. Fasten the
seat belt before continuing to drive. All other
systems can be restored to the desired setting.
PostCrash – iBrake
Principle
In certain accident situations, the PostCrash –
iBrake can automatically bring the vehicle to a
standstill without intervention by the driver.
General information
The PostCrash – iBrake can reduce the risk of
a further collision and its consequences.
At standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released
automatically.
Harder vehicle deceleration
In certain situations, it may be necessary to
bring the vehicle to a halt more quickly than
automatic braking allows.
To do this, quickly apply extra force to the
brake. For a brief period, the brake pressure
will be higher than the brake pressure that is
achieved by the automatic braking function.
Automatic braking is interrupted.
Abort automatic braking
It may be necessary to interrupt automatic
braking in certain situations, for instance when
making an evasive maneuver.
