150.
The Front Assistant (from here on only referred to as the system) warns you of
the danger of a collision with a vehicle or another obstacle in front of the vehi-
cle, and tries to avoid a collision or mitigate its consequences by automatically
applying the brakes where necessary.
The area in front of the vehicle is monitored by a radar sensor
page 154.
WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
The system has physical and system-related limitations. For this reason,
■
the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system responses in
certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and ready to inter-
vene!
Always adapt your speed and safety proximity to the vehicle ahead to the
■
current visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
The increased passenger protection afforded through the system must
■
not tempt you to take greater risks than otherwise - risk of accident!
The system does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
CAUTION
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the electri-
cally connected trailer, the system becomes unavailable.
