General information
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function
can help you to minimize the risk of a collision
with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian. Active
Brake Assist with cross-traffic function can
also reduce the effects of such a collision. If
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function
has detected a risk of collision, you will be
warned visually and acoustically as well as by
automatic braking.

Pay attention to the important safety notes
in the "Driving safety systems" section
(Y page 60).
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function
is only available in vehicles with the Driving
Assistance Plus package.
For Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic func-
tion to assist you when driving, the radar sen-
sor system and the camera system must be
operational.
The radar sensor system and camera system
help Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic
function to detect obstacles that are in the
path of your vehicle for an extended period of
time.
In addition, pedestrians in the path of your
vehicle can be detected.
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function
detects pedestrians using typical characteris-
tics such as body contours and the posture of
a person standing upright.

WARNING
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic func-
tion will initially brake your vehicle by a par-
tial application of the brakes if a danger of
collision is detected. There may be a colli-

subsequent full application of the brakes a
collision cannot always be avoided, particu-
larly 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.
If you partially apply the brakes, the vehicle is
braked with up to 50% of the full braking force.

Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic func-
tion cannot always clearly identify objects

In such cases, Active Brake Assist with
cross-traffic function might:

brake the vehicle
R
neither give a warning nor intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and be prepared to brake, espe-
cially if Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic
function alerts you. Terminate the interven-
tion in a non-critical driving situation.

WARNING
Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic func-
