Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment. Due to
the system limits, critical situations might
not be detected reliably or in time. There
is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to
traffic conditions. Watch surrounding traf-
fic closely and actively intervene where
appropriate
PreCrash functions
Depending on vehicle equipment and re-
quirements, Active Protection activates the
following individual functions in critical
driving situations:
– Automatic closing of the windows.
The windows remain open with a small
gap.
– Automatic closing of the glass sunroof.
– Automatic positioning of the backrest
for the front passenger seat.
Systems can be returned to the desired set-
tings following a critical driving situation
without accident.
PostCrash iBrake
Principle
In certain accident situations, PostCrash
iBrake can automatically bring the vehicle
to a stop without any need for the driver
to intervene. This can reduce the risk of a
further collision.
After coming to a halt, the brake is released
automatically.
The driver can intervene manually to brake
the vehicle more sharply or cancel auto-
matic braking with PostCrash iBrake.
Harder vehicle deceleration
In certain situations, it may be necessary
to bring the vehicle to a stop more quickly
than with PostCrash iBrake automatic brak-
ing.
To do this, quickly apply extra force to
the brake. The brake pressure will then be
higher than the brake pressure generated
by automatic braking. Automatic braking
with PostCrash iBrake is canceled.
Abort automatic braking
It may be necessary to cancel PostCrash
iBrake automatic braking in certain situa-
tions, e.g., when making an evasive maneu-
ver.
Automatic braking can be canceled by do-
ing as follows:
– By depressing the brake pedal for
slightly longer.
– By pressing the accelerator pedal for
slightly longer.
Fatigue alert
Principle
The Fatigue Alert system can detect when
the driver is less alert using various criteria.
The Fatigue Alert break recommendation
function can detect driver fatigue, e.g., dur-
ing long, monotonous trips. If necessary,
the system will recommend that you take
a break. A notice is also displayed on the
Interaction Unit.
The break recommendation can be config-
ured on the Interaction Unit.
