9 Warning
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too rapidly, a level 2 alert

alert before.
Level 1 alerts depend on the alert
sensitivity set. This alert type is
only displayed in case of moving
vehicles. At lower speed it is
disabled.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
Note
If the alert sensitivity setting with the
longest distance is set, the system
warns earlier. This increases the
safety, but increases the amount of
alerts if the legal safety distance is
not kept. To reduce the number of
alerts, select a shorter alert
sensitivity setting.
Three alert sensitivities can be
selected in the driver assistance
systems menu.

The chosen setting will be memorised
when the ignition has been switched
off. The alert sensitivity will vary
based on selected alert setting.
Automatic braking
Just before the imminent collision,
this function automatically applies
limited braking to reduce the impact
speed of the collision or prohibit a
crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the Driver
Information Centre. If active
emergency braking is finished, m
flashes for a few seconds. During this
time, active emergency braking
cannot be applied if there is a risk of
a further collision.
Depending on version, below a speed
of 30 km/h or 50 km/h, automatic
braking may slow down the vehicle to
a complete stop. If the speed exceeds
this limit, automatic braking reduces
the speed. However, the driver must
apply the brake to come to a complete
stop.
● Automatic transmission: If the
vehicle comes to a complete
stop, automatic braking is
maintained for a certain time.
Keep the brake pedal depressed
to prevent the vehicle from
starting off again.
● Manual transmission: If the
vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall. Keep
the brake pedal depressed to
prevent the vehicle from rolling
away.
Cruise control will be deactivated
when an emergency automatic
braking occurs.
In some cases, the driver may wish to
override the automatic braking
provided by the active emergency
braking system. Firmly apply the
accelerator pedal or firmly turn the
