Symbol Measure

The vehicle lights up red: prewarn‐

ing.

Increase braking and distance.

The vehicle flashes red and an

acoustic signal sounds: acute warn‐

ing.

You are requested to intervene by

braking or making an evasive ma‐

neuver.

Braking intervention

The warning prompts the driver himself to in‐

tervene. During a warning, the maximum brak‐

ing force is used. A prerequisite for the brake

booster is a sufficiently fast and sufficiently

strong actuation of the brake pedal. In addition,

if there is a risk of collision, the system can as‐

sist with a slight braking intervention. The in‐

tervention can bring a vehicle traveling at slow

speed to a complete stop.

Manual transmission: During a braking inter‐

vention up until reaching a complete stop, the

engine may be shut down.

The braking intervention is executed only if

DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on

and Dynamic Traction Control DTC is acti‐

vated.

The braking intervention can be interrupted by

pressing on the accelerator pedal or by actively

moving the steering wheel.

Tow-starting and towing

When tow-starting and towing the vehi‐

cle, switch off the Intelligent Safety systems;

otherwise, improper behavior of the braking

function of individual systems could result in

an accident.◀

System limits

Be alert

Due to system limitations, warnings may

be not be issued at all, or may be issued late or

improperly. Therefore, always be alert and

ready to intervene; otherwise, there is the dan‐

ger of an accident occurring.◀

Detection range

The system's detection capabilities are limited.

This may result in the warning not being is‐

sued or being issued late.

For example, the following situations may not

be detected:

▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach

them at high speed.

▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of

you or sharply decelerating vehicles.

▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.

▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.

▷ Pedestrians.

Functional limitations

The system may not be fully functional in the

following situations:

▷ In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐

fall.

▷ In tight curves.

▷ If the driving stability control systems are

limited or deactivated, for example, DSC

OFF.

▷ If the camera in the mirror or the radar sen‐

sor is dirty or obscured.

▷ During calibration of the camera immedi‐

ately after vehicle shipment.

▷ If there is constant dimming because of

oncoming light, for example, from the sun

low in the sky.
