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 on page 152 first.
Advance warning
If Front Assist detects a risk of collision with a vehicle ahead, a symbol appears
in the display of the instrument cluster and an acoustic signal is
heard » Fig. 151 on page 153 - . At the same time, the braking system is pre-
pared for possible emergency braking.
The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.
›
If there is a risk of collision with a moving object 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 object in a vehicle speed range
of approximately 30 km/h to about 85 km/h.
Apply the brakes or avoid the obstacle!
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.
The system can help to mitigate the consequences of a potential accident by
means of a speed reduction.
Brake Support
If the driver does not brake sufficiently in case of an imminent collision, the
system can increase the braking power, thereby reducing the consequences of
a potential accident.
The brake support only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly press-
ed down.

Driving
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.
Automatic braking interventions by the emergency brake function can be ter-
■
minated by pressing the clutch or the accelerator or by moving the steering
wheel.
Activating/deactivating

Read and observe on page 152 first.
The function is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched on.
The system should only be disabled in exceptional cases
The system can be activated or deactivated in Infotainment
manual, chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) or in the MAXI DOTdis-

The distance warning function and the pre-warning can be activated or deac-
tivated in Infotainment » Operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Ve-
hicle settings (button CAR).
The set proximity warning remains active even after stopping and starting the
ignition.
WARNING
In the following situations, Front Assist should be switched off for safety
reasons.
When the vehicle is being towed away.
■
