Forward collision alert

The forward collision alert can help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by a
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert is activated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 134 or that it
is not deactivated by the button V
(depending on the system, see
following).
Depending on the vehicle's
equipment, there are two variants of
the forward collision alert available:
■ Forward collision alert based on
radar system
Driving and operating
on vehicles equipped with adaptive
cruise control 3 184.
■ Forward collision alert based on
front camera system
on vehicles with traditional cruise
control or none 3 181.
Forward collision alert based on
radar system
The system uses the radar sensor
behind the radiator grille to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path,
within a maximum distance of
150 metres.
Activation
Forward collision alert operates
automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto collision
preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
