CONTROLS
Prewarning
This warning is issued, for instance when there is
the impending danger of a collision or the dis‐
tance to the vehicle ahead is too small.
The driver must intervene actively when there is
a prewarning.
Acute warning with braking function
Acute warning is displayed in case of the immi‐
nent danger of a collision when the vehicle ap‐
proaches another object at a high differential
speed.
The driver must intervene actively when there is
an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is as‐
sisted by a minor automatic braking intervention
in a possible risk of collision.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver to react. During
a warning, the maximum braking force is used.
Prerequisite for the brake booster is sufficiently
quick and hard stepping on the brake pedal. If
there is a risk of collision, the system may assist
with braking. When the vehicle is traveling at a
low speed, the vehicle may come to a complete
stop.
The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle
stability has not been restricted, for instance by
deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Control.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Follow the
limitations of the detection range and functional
restrictions.

Safety information
WARNING
The system can react not at all, too late, incor‐
rectly, or without justification due to the system
limits. There is a risk of accidents or risk of
damage to property. Follow the information re‐
garding the system limits and actively intervene
if needed.
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
E.g., the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
▷
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
▷
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,
or sharply decelerating vehicles.
▷
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
▷
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐
lowing situations:
▷
In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
▷
In tight curves.
▷
If the driving stability control systems are de‐
activated, for instance DSC OFF.
▷
If the field of view of the camera in the mirror
is dirty or obscured.
▷
Up to 10 seconds after drive-ready state is
established.
▷
During calibration of the camera immediately
after vehicle delivery.
