dashes will be displayed: -.- s.

Active Emergency Braking

Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage from crashes with
vehicles and obstacles directly
ahead, when a collision can no longer
be avoided either by manual braking
or by steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 164.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle
speed) to calculate the probability of
a frontal collision.
Active emergency braking operates
automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto collision
preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 111.
The system includes:
■ Brake preparation system
■ Emergency automatic braking
■ Forward looking brake assist

This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility of
