Note
The system can be impaired or may not be available, for example when driving
in "sharp "curves or with an ESC engagement
Proximity warning (dangerous proximity)

Read and observe and
If a safe distance to the vehicle ahead is not maintained, the display of the in-
strument cluster shows the symbol 
Immediately increase the proximity if the current traffic situation allows you
to do so!
The proximity at which the warning is displayed depends on the current speed.
The warning may occur when driving between about 60 km/h and 210 km/h.
Warning and automatic braking

Read and observe and
Emergency braking at low speed
In a driving speed range of about 5 km/h to about 30 km/h the automatic brak-
ing action is not preceded by a warning. With an immediate impact hazard au-
tomatic braking is done with the breaking force increasing in stages.
With automatic braking the symbol appears
display.
Advance warning
If the system detects a risk of collision, the symbol
appears in the display and you will hear an acoustic signal.
At the same time, the braking system is prepared for possible emergency brak-
ing.
The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.
›
If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle in a driving speed range of
about 30 km/h to about 210 km/h.
›
There is a risk of a collision with a stationary moving obstacle in a vehicle
speed range of approximately 30 km/h to about 85 km/h.
With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is to
be avoided!

Acute alert
If the driver does not react to the advance warning, the system briefly applies
the brake automatically via an active brake intervention to draw attention to
the potential danger of a collision again.
Automatic Braking
If the driver fails to respond to the acute warning, the system starts to apply
the brakes automatically with increasing stopping power in several stages.
Brake assist
If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-
matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly
pressed down.
Note
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
■
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the accel-
■
erator pedal or by steering intervention.
Activating/deactivating

Read and observe and
The function is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched on.
The system should only be disabled in exceptional cases
The activation or deactivation of the system can be done in one of two ways.
