PreCrash system
It only works completely if no special driving
prole is selected and if there are no operating
anomalies.
At the start of each journey and depending on
the time of use and the speed of the vehicle,
the seatbelt is automatically pretensioned in
order to reduce slack in the driver's and front
passenger's seatbelts, provided they are buck-
led.
Basic features
Depending on the legal provisions of the coun-
try and the features of the vehicle, in critical
situations (e.g. in certain cases of emergency
braking or loss of control of the vehicle by the
driver) the following functions can be activated
separately or at the same time when the vehi-
cle is travelling faster than approximately 30
km/h (20 mph).
●
Reversible tensioning of front seat belts that
are fastened.
●
Operation of the hazard warning lights.
●
Automatic closing of the windows until there
is only a crack left.
Depending on how critical the driving situation
is, the belts are either tightened individually, or
both belts at the same time.
In addition to Front Assist
In vehicles with Front Assist ›››page182,
within the limits of the system, information is
assessed on the risk of collision with the ve-
hicle in front. The functions of the PreCrash
system may also be activated if there is a high
likelihood of a rear-end collision, or during the
activation of Front Assist.
In addition to Side Assist
In vehicles with Side Assist,›››page194,
within the limitations of this system, informa-
tion is assessed on the risk of collision with
traic to the rear of the vehicle. If a rear-end
collision is highly likely, the functions of the
PreCrash system may also be activated. In this
situation, the hazard warning lights are turned
on with a higher frequency of ashes.
In addition to the Emergency Assist system
In vehicles with emergency assist, driver status
information is assessed within the limitations
of this system. The following PreCrash systems
may be activated if a lack of activity is detec-
ted:
●
Reversible seat belt tensioning of the driver's
seat belt.
●
Automatic closing of the windows until they
are just cracked open and, depending on the
equipment, of the sunroof.
Activating the PreCrash system
The PreCrash system can be partially deactiva-
ted by deactivating the traction and/or stability
control, depending on the equipment. When
these vehicle safety controls are switched on
(by default, every time the ignition is turned
on), the system is fully activated.
Driving prole selection settings
In vehicles with driving prole selection, Pre-
Crash adapts to suit the special vehicle
conguration of the corresponding prole
›››page158.
Limited operation
The PreCrash system is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions:
●
When the TCS and/or ESC is o.
●
When driving in reverse.
●
When the airbag control unit is not operating
properly.
●
When there is a fault in the system itself, in
the ESC or in the Front Assist.
Troubleshooting
If the PreCrash is not working correctly, the
message System unavailable or System with
limited functions is shown permanently on
