Post Crash — iBrake
Concept
In the event of an accident, the system can
bring the vehicle to a halt automatically without
intervention by the driver in certain situations.
This can reduce the risk of a further collision
and the consequences thereof.
At standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released
automatically.
Harder vehicle braking
It can be necessary to bring the vehicle in cer‐
tain situations to a halt quicker.
Here, a higher braking pressure must be gen‐
erated for a short period when pressing the
brake pedal than during automatic braking.
This interrupts automatic braking.
Interrupting automatic braking
It can be necessary to interrupt automatic
braking in certain situations, e.g., for an evasive
maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:
By pressing the brake pedal.
By pressing the accelerator pedal.
Attentiveness assistant
Concept
The system can detect decreasing alertness or
fatigue of the driver during long, monotonous
trips, e.g., on highways. In this situation, it is
recommended that the driver takes a break.
Safety information
WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess
one's physical state. An increasing lack of
alertness or fatigue may not be detected or not
be detected in time. There is a risk of an acci‐
dent. Make sure that the driver is rested and
alert. Adjust the driving style to the traffic con‐
ditions.◀
Function
The system is switched on each time drive-
ready state is switched on.
After travel has begun, the system monitors
certain aspects of the driver's behavior, so that
decreasing alertness or fatigue can be de‐
tected.
This procedure takes the following criteria into
account:
Personal driving style, e.g., steering behav‐
ior.
Driving conditions, e.g., length of trip.
The system is active starting from ap‐
prox. 43 mph/70 km/h and can display a break
recommendation in addition to the alertness
assistant.
Break recommendation
Switching on/off, adjusting
The Attentiveness Assistant is active automat‐
ically with each switching on of drive-ready
state and can thus display a break recommen‐
dation.
The break recommendation can also be
switched on or off via iDrive and adjusted:
Via iDrive:
1.
"My Vehicle"
2. "Vehicle settings"
3. "Driver attention control"
4. Select the desired setting.
"Off": no break recommendation is
made.
"Standard": the break recommendation
is made with a defined value.
