When driving at a speed above 20 mph

(30 km/h): if you depress the brake pedal

sharply, BAS PLUS automatically raises the

brake pressure to a value adapted to the traf-

fic situation.

BAS PLUS provides braking assistance in haz-

ardous situations with vehicles in front within

a speed range between 4 mph (7 km/h) and

155 mph (250 km/h).

Up to a speed of approximately 44 mph

(70 km/h), BAS PLUS may react to:

R

stationary objects in the path of your vehi-

cle, e.g. stopped or parked vehicles

R

pedestrians in the path of your vehicle

R

objects crossing your path and that are

recognized in the detection range of the

sensors

i

If BAS PLUS demands particularly high

braking force, preventative passenger pro-

tection measures (PRE-SAFE

®

) are activa-

ted simultaneously.

X

Keep the brake pedal depressed until the

emergency braking situation is over.

ABS prevents the wheels from locking.

BAS PLUS is deactivated and the brakes func-

tion as usual, if:

R

you release the brake pedal.

R

there is no longer a risk of collision.

R

no obstacle is detected in front of your

vehicle.

R

you depress the accelerator pedal.

R

you activate kickdown.

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST

PLUS

General information

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS con-

sists of a distance warning function with an

autonomous emergency braking function and

adaptive Brake Assist.

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS can

help you to minimize the risk of a front-end

collision with a vehicle ahead or reduce the

effects of such a collision.

If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS

detects that there is a risk of a collision, you

will be warned visually and acoustically. If you

do not react to the visual and audible collision

warning, autonomous braking can be initiated

in critical situations. If you apply the brake

yourself in a critical situation, the COLLISION

PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS adaptive Brake

Assist assists you.

Important safety notes

In particular, the detection of obstacles can

be impaired if:

R

there is dirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

R

there is snow or heavy rain

R

there is interference by other radar sources

R

there are strong radar reflections, for

example in parking garages

R

a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a

motorbike

R

a vehicle traveling in front on a different line

R

new vehicles or after a service on the COL-

LISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS system

Observe the notes in the section on break-

ing-in (Y page 160).

Following damage to the front end of the vehi-

cle, have the configuration and operation of

the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-

sions at low speeds where there is no visible

damage to the front of the vehicle.
