Forward Collision Mitigation
Principle
The Forward Collision Mitigation can help
prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be
avoided, the system may help reduce the se-
verity of the accident.
The system can issue a warning of a possible
risk of collision and activate the brakes inde-
pendently, if needed.
General information
Depending on the equipment version, the For-
ward Collision Mitigation system includes the
following functions:
▷ Forward Collision Warning with light brak-
ing function, refer to page 175.
▷ Pedestrian Warning with City Collision Miti-
gation, refer to page 176.
▷ Intersection warning with City light braking
function, refer to page 177.
▷ Evasion Assistant, refer to page 178.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.

Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver's personal judgment.
Due to its limits, the system may not issue
warnings or responses, or these may be is-
sued late or in a manner that is not consis-
tent with their normal use. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Individual functions may not work correctly
when towing with Front Collision Warning en-
abled or Cruise Control switched on. There is
a risk of accident. Switch off Front Collision
Warning and Cruise Control before towing.
Sensors
Depending on the equipment, the system is
controlled by the following sensors:
▷ Camera behind the windshield.
▷ Front radar sensor.
▷ Radar sensors, side, front.
Speed range
The system issues a warning of a possi-
ble risk of collision at speeds above approx.
3 mph/5 km/h.
If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated
temporarily.
Some functions are deactivated earlier.
The system is enabled as soon as the speed
drops below these values again.
