8.3.3 Detection and intervention
WARNING! AEBS does not react to:
– people or animals
– oncoming vehicles
As a result, AEBS might not warn you or intervene in these situations.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be ready to
brake.
WARNING! AEBS cannot always recognise other road users and
complex traffic conditions.
In such cases, AEBS may:
– give an unnecessary warning and then brake the vehicle
– neither gives a warning nor intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Continue to drive carefully and be prepared to brake, particularly if
AEBS warns you.
If AEBS detects the risk of a front-end collision, it issues an audible and visual warning
(FCW).
If the risk persists, AEBS automatically initiates partial braking of the vehicle (HCW). If
you do not react to the warnings and partial brake application, AEBS automatically
initiates an emergency brake application (EB).
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) may warn you (A) before AEBS if there is a risk of
collision.
See 'ACC distance warning' in section 'Distance setting to the vehicle ahead' from
chapter 'Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)'.
The three steps in which AEBS can
intervene are:
Step 1
An FCW is issued both as a warning on
the master display and as an acoustic
signal (B).
