Active Protection
Concept
Active Protection prepares occupants and the
vehicle for a possible accident in critical driving or
collision situations.
General information
Active Protection consists of various PreCrash
functions, which can vary depending on the
equipment.
The system is used to detect certain critical driv‐
ing situations that might lead to an accident. This
includes the following critical driving situations:
▷ Emergency stop.
▷ Severe understeering.
▷ Severe oversteering.
Certain functions of several systems can, within
the system limits, lead to Active Protection trig‐
gering:
▷ Approach control warning with braking func‐
tion: automatic brake intervention.
▷ Approach control warning with braking func‐
tion: brake booster.
▷ Night Vision with pedestrian and animal de‐
tection: brake booster.
▷ Rear collision prevention: detection of immi‐
nent rear collisions.
Safety information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgment. Due to the system
limits, critical situation could not be detected
reliably or in time. There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
Function
When the safety belt is fastened, the driver's and
passenger's belt straps are automatically tight‐
ened once after driving away.
In accident-critical situations, the following indi‐
vidual functions become active as needed:
▷ Automatic pretensioning of the front safety
belts.
▷ Automatic window closing up to a narrow
gap.
▷ Automatic closing of the glass sunroof, in‐
cluding sun protection.
▷ For vehicles equipped with comfort seats in
the front: automatic positioning of the back‐
rest for the front passenger seat.
After a critical driving situation without an acci‐
dent, the front safety belts are loosened again.
If the belt tension does not loosen automatically,
stop the vehicle and unbuckle the safety belt us‐
ing the red button in the buckle. Fasten the
safety belt before continuing on your trip.
All other systems can be restored to the desired
setting.
PostCrash – iBrake
Concept
In the event of an accident, the system can bring
the vehicle to a halt automatically without inter‐
vention 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 auto‐
matically.
