action to avoid crashes.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation

● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on
roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed
● when performing any
maintenance with ignition on
● when the vehicle is fitted with
snow chains
● when a spare wheel is fitted that
is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car
wash
● before placing the vehicle on a
rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been
damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been
damaged or deformed
● if the radar unit is out of its regular
position resulting from an impact
of the front bumper
● if the brake lights are not working
Fault
If the system has been deactivated,
m illuminates in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the system has a fault, m
illuminates in the Driver Information
Centre, a message is displayed and
an audible signal is given. Consult a
workshop. If no message is
displayed, stop the vehicle and check
whether sensors or front camera are
covered.
If the system does not work properly
or is not available, e.g. during the
initialisation, m illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre.
m may also illuminate if the
infotainment system has an issue.
If m and C illuminate in the Driver
Information Centre after the engine
has been switched off and then
restarted, consult a workshop.

Automatic post collision
braking
If an accident is detected, the vehicle
requests automatic post collision
braking. The goal of this function is to
reduce the risk of further collisions if
the driver does not react. The
automatic post collision braking is not
operational if the capability of the
vehicle to trigger and execute the
automatic post collision braking is
unavailable, as it can occur in
destructive accidents or in other
specific accident scenarios.
It is possible to override the automatic
braking by pressing the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
