Brake

General information

i

Observe the "Important safety notes"

section (Y page 67).

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake is only available for

vehicles with the Driving Assistance package.

For PRE-SAFE

®

Brake to assist you when

driving, the radar sensor system and the

camera system must be switched on and be

operational.

With the help of the radar sensor system and

the camera system, PRE-SAFE

®

Brake can

detect obstacles that are in front of your

vehicle for an extended period of time.

In addition, pedestrians in the path of your

vehicle can be detected.

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake detects pedestrians using

typical characteristics such as the body

contours and posture of a person standing

upright.

i

Observe the restrictions described in the

"Important safety notes"

section“ (Y page 76).

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake can help you to minimize

the risk of a collision with a vehicle ahead or

a pedestrian, and reduce the effects of such

a collision. If PRE-SAFE

®

Brake has detected

a risk of collision, you will be warned visually

and acoustically as well as by automatic

braking.

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake will initially brake your

vehicle by a partial application of the brakes

if a danger of collision is detected. There may

be a collision unless you brake yourself. Even

after subsequent full application of the brakes

a collision cannot always be avoided,

particularly when approaching at too high a

speed. There is a risk of an accident.

Always apply the brakes yourself and try to

take evasive action, provided it is safe to do

so.

G

WARNING

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake cannot always clearly

identify objects and complex traffic

conditions.

In these cases, PRE-SAFE

®

Brake may:

R

give an unnecessary warning and then

brake the vehicle

R

not give a warning or intervene

There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay particular attention to the traffic

situation and be ready to brake, especially if

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake warns you. Terminate the

intervention in a non-critical driving situation.

In order to maintain the appropriate distance

to the vehicle in front and thus prevent a

collision, you must apply the brakes yourself.

G

WARNING

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake does not react:

R

to small people, e.g. children

R

to animals

R

to oncoming vehicles

R

to crossing traffic

R

when cornering

As a result, PRE-SAFE

®

Brake may neither

give warnings nor intervene in all critical

situations. There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic

situation and be ready to brake.

In the event of snowfall or heavy rain, the

recognition can be impaired.

Recognition by the radar sensor system is

also impaired in the event of:

R

dirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

R

interference by other radar sources

R

there are strong radar reflections, for

example in parking garages
