Note: A message will appear in the display
if the engine speed drops too low. It will
advise you to change down a gear (manual
transmission only). If you do not follow this
recommendation then the system will
automatically switch off.
Forward Alert Function
WARNINGS
Never wait for a crash warning. When
driving you are responsible for
maintaining the correct distance and
speed, even when the system is used.
The system will only react to vehicles
in front of you traveling in the same
direction and will not react to slow
or stationary vehicles.
Never drive in a manner to provoke
the system. The system is designed
to assist in emergencies only.
Warnings may be absent, triggered
late or triggered unnecessarily due
to detection beam issues. See
Principle of Operation (page 118).
The system will warn you of the risk of a
crash with the vehicle in front of you.
The system will alert you with an audible
tone and a visual warning in the
information display.
Brake support assists with full braking and
reduces the severity of a crash with the
vehicle in front of you.
Note: The brake support system only
reduces the crash speed if you brake
immediately once alerted.
Note: If you depress the brake pedal quick
enough, you will maintain full braking. This
is regardless of how much force you apply
to the pedal.
Note: Brake support prepares the braking
system for rapid braking by gently applying
the brake. You may notice a slight jerk.

Cruise Control
Note: Crash alerts will only occur when you
switch the system on. Brake support is
always on and you can not turn it off.
Note: You can use the system with or
without switching the adaptive cruise
control system on.
Note: The system uses the same radar
sensors as adaptive cruise control and
therefore has the same limitations. See
Principle of Operation (page 118).
Switching the System On and Off
You can switch the system on and off using
the information display. See General
Information (page 62).
Note: When you switch the system off, a
warning indicator will remain illuminated in
the information display. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 57).
Note: The system status and settings will
remain unchanged each time you switch the
ignition on.
Adjusting the Warning Sensitivity
This will determine how early the system
alerts you. You can adjust the sensitivity
using the steering wheel controls. See
General Information (page 62).
