166 Driving and operating
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
steering wheel to override the
automatic braking if the situation and
the surroundings permit.

Warning
Do not rely on the system to brake
the vehicle. Active emergency
braking will not brake
automatically outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera: The system
may operate when the vehicle is
turning and detects another vehicle
on the adjacent lane approaching
from the opposite direction if
● the corresponding turn light is
activated
● the vehicle is about to cross the
driving path of another vehicle
● the vehicle speed is between
5 mph and 16 mph
● a collision with another vehicle is
probable
In addition, the system also reacts on
motorcyclists.
Smart brake assist
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently
to avoid a collision, this system will
supplement the braking. This
assistance will only be provided if the
driver presses the brake pedal.
Smart brake assist will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is
released.
Operation conditions
Active emergency braking only works
when
● the brake system is operational
● Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control are activated
● the seat belts of the front seats
and depending on version of the
rear seats are fastened
● constant speed on unwinding
roads
