Thus, a warning might not be issued or be
issued late.

tected, for example:

– Pedestrians that are not detected as
such because of the viewing angle or
contour.
– Pedestrians outside of the detection
range.
– Pedestrians having a body size less than
32 in/80 cm.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional or
may not be available in the following situa-
tions:
– In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snow-
fall.
– In tight curves.
– If the field of view of the camera or the
windshield is dirty or covered.
– If the driving stability control systems
are deactivated, for instance DSC OFF.

Brake force display
Concept
Additional brake lights indicate emergency
braking to the traffic behind. This can re-
duce the risk of a rear-end collision.
General information
– During normal brake application, the
brake lights light up.
– During heavy brake application, the
flashers additionally light up.
Fatigue alert
Concept
The system can detect decreasing alertness
or fatigue of the driver during long, monoto-
nous trips, for instance on highways. In this
situation, it is recommended that the driver
takes a break.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-
sessing one's physical state. An increasing
lack of alertness or fatigue may not be de-
tected or not be detected in time. There is
a risk of accident. Make sure that the
driver is rested and alert. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions.
Function
The system is switched on each time the en-
gine is started and cannot be switched off.
