If the system detects ariskofcollision with the
vehicleinfront, it calculates the braking force
necessary to avoid acollision. If youapply the
brakesforcefully,the adaptivebrakeassist func-
tionwillautomaticallyincreasethe brakingforce
to
alevel suitable for the traffic conditions.
If the adaptive brakeassist function activates,
keep the brakepedal depressed until the emer-
gency braking situation is over.ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
The brakes will work normally again if:
•
Youreleasethe brakepedal.
•
There is no longer anydanger of acollision.
•
No obstacle is detected in front of your vehicle.
The brakeassist function is then deactivated.
Up to aspeed of approximately 250km/h, the
adaptive brakeassist function is capable of re-
acting to moving objects that have alreadybeen
detected as suchatleastonceover the period of
observation.
Up to aspeed of approximately 70 km/h, the
adaptive brakeassist function reacts to station-
aryobstacles.
