Active Brake Assist
▌Function of Active Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist consists of the following func-
tions:
Distance warning function
R
Collision warning
R
Autonomous braking function
R
Situation-dependent brake force boosting
R
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: Eva-
R
sive Steering Assist and cornering function
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 Active
Brake Assist warning lamp lights up.
In the Assistance menu, an insufficient distance
1 to the vehicle in front is displayed in red. If you
further reduce the distance, the vehicle in front is
also highlighted in red. When the system detects a
risk of collision, red radar waves
front of the vehicle.
®
Vehicles with PRE-SAFE : depending on the coun-
try, an additional haptic warning occurs in the
form of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat
belt.
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
F167 0009 02
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 brake force boosting
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 (
