WARNING

If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheels can

lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the

risk of skidding and an accident.

You should therefore adapt your driving style

to the different handling characteristics. Have

the brake system checked at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop.

Observe information regarding indicator and

warning lamps (Y page 272) as well as dis-

play messages (Y page 245).

ADAPTIVE BRAKE enhances braking safety

and offers increased braking comfort. In addi-

tion to the braking function, ADAPTIVE BRAKE

General information

i

Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-

tion (Y page 71).

PRE‑SAFE

®

Brake is only available for vehi-

cles with the Driving Assistance package.

For PRE-SAFE

®

Brake to assist you when driv-

ing, the radar sensor system and the camera

system must be switched on and be opera-

tional.

With the help of the radar sensor system and

the camera system, PRE-SAFE

®

Brake can

detect obstacles that are in front of your vehi-

cle 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 con-

tours and posture of a person standing

upright.

Observe the restrictions described in the

"Important safety notes" sec-

tion“ (Y page 79).

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 brak-

ing.

Important safety notes

WARNING

PRE-SAFE

®

Brake will initially brake your vehi-

cle 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, partic-

ularly 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 iden-

tify 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 col-

lision, you must apply the brakes yourself.
