Detection range
The detection ability of the system is limited.
For this reason, the system may fail to respond
or only respond after a delay.
For example it is possible that the following may
not be detected:
▷ Crossing vehicles concealed by buildings, for
example.
▷ Vehicles suddenly cutting in or braking heav‐
ily.
▷ Crossing two-wheeled vehicles.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual side appearance.
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.
Sensitivity of the warnings
The higher the sensitivity of the warning settings,
for example warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. As a result, there may also be an in‐
creased number of premature or unjustified
warnings and responses.
Person warning with light
braking function
Principle
The system can help to avoid accidents with pe‐
destrians and cyclists. 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.
At speeds above approx. 5 km/h, 3 mph, the sys‐
tem warns of the possible risk of collision with
pedestrians and cyclists.
Pedestrians and cyclists are taken into account if
they are located within the detection range of the
system.
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‐
