ularly when approaching at too high a speed.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always apply the brakes yourself and try to
take evasive action, provided it is safe to do
so.
In the event of a partial application of the brakes,
the vehicle is braked with up to 50% of the full
braking pressure.

WARNING
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake cannot always clearly iden-
tify objects and complex traffic conditions.
In these cases, PRE-SAFE
®
Brake may:
R

brake the vehicle
R
not give a warning or intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic

WARNING
PRE-SAFE
®

R
to small people, e.g. children
R
to animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
As a result, PRE-SAFE
®
Brake may neither

In the event of snowfall or heavy rain, the rec-
ognition can be impaired.
Recognition by the radar sensor system is also
impaired in the event of:
R
there is dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors
R
there is interference by other radar sources
R
there are strong radar reflections, for exam-
ple in parking garages
R
a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
R
a vehicle traveling in front on a different line
relative to the center of your vehicle
Recognition by the camera system is also
impaired in the event of:
R
dirt on the camera or if the camera is covered
R
there is glare on the camera system, e.g. from
the sun being low in the sky
R
darkness
R
if:
-
pedestrians move quickly, e.g. into the path
of the vehicle
-
the camera system no longer recognizes a
pedestrian as a person due to special cloth-
ing or other objects
-
a pedestrian is concealed by other objects
-
the typical outline of a person is not distin-
guishable from the background
Fol
lowing damage to the front end of the vehicle,
hav
e the configuration and operation of the
radar sensors checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. This also applies to collisions at slow
speeds where there is no visible damage to the
front of the vehicle.
Following damage to the windshield, have the
configuration and operation of the camera sys-
tem checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
