For example it is possible that the following may
not be detected:
▷ Slow-moving vehicle when approaching it at
high speed.
▷ Vehicles suddenly cutting in or braking heav‐
ily.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead.
System limits of the sensors
For further information:
▷ Cameras, see page 47.
▷ Radar sensors, see page 48.
Functional limitations
The system may have limited functionality in the
following situations, for example:
▷ On sharp bends.
▷ When Driving Stability Control Systems are
limited or deactivated, for example DSC OFF.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after starting the engine
using the Start/Stop button.
Junction warning with City
braking function
Principle
The system can help to avoid accidents with
crossing traffic at junctions and crossroads. If an
accident cannot be avoided, the system helps to
reduce the collision speed.
The system warns of the possible risk of collision
in the urban speed range and brakes automati‐
cally, as necessary.
General
Sensors record the traffic situation.
Vehicles that cross the vehicle's direction of
travel can be detected by the system as soon as
these vehicles enter the detection range of the
system.
A warning is given at junctions and crossroads if
there is a risk of collision with crossing traffic.
From speeds of approximately 10 km/h, 6 mph,
the system provides a two-stage warning of any
possible risk of collision with vehicles. The timing
of these warnings may vary depending on the
current driving situation.
The Driver Attention Camera in the instrument
cluster detects the driver's view behaviour. The
system also checks whether there are any visual
impairments present. The view behaviour and
visibility conditions also affect the point at which
the warnings are issued.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the visibility con‐
ditions and traffic situation correctly. There is a
risk of accident. Adapt your driving style to the
traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve you of
your personal responsibility. System limitations
can mean that warnings or system responses
are not issued or are issued too late, incorrectly
or without justification. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic con‐
ditions. Observe the traffic situation and inter‐
vene actively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
Due to system limitations, individual functions
may not work properly when tow-starting/
towing with activated Intelligent Safety Sys‐
tems. There is a risk of accident. Switch off all
