After a break, another recommendation to take a
break cannot be displayed until after approxi‐
mately 45 minutes.
System limits
The function may be limited in the following sit‐
uations, for instance and will either output an in‐
correct warning or no warning at all:
▷ When the clock is set incorrectly.
▷ When the vehicle speed is mainly below
about 43 mph/70 km/h.
▷ With a sporty driving style, such as during
rapid acceleration or when cornering fast.
▷ In active driving situations, such as when
changing lanes frequently.
▷ When the road surface is poor.
▷ In the event of strong side winds.
The system is reset approx. 45 minutes after
parking the vehicle, for instance in the case of a
break during longer trips on highways.
PreCrash
Concept
With this system critical driving situations that
might result in an accident can be detected
above a speed of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. In
these situations, preventive measures are auto‐
matically taken to minimize the risk of an acci‐
dent as much as possible.
Critical driving situations may include:
▷ Emergency stop.
▷ Severe understeering.
▷ Severe oversteering.
If the vehicle includes the approach control warn‐
ing or approach control warning with light braking
function, impending collisions with vehicles driv‐
ing ahead or stopped in front of you can also be
detected within the system's range.
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
After the safety belt is buckled, the front safety
belts are automatically tightened once after the
vehicle drove off.
In critical driving situations, the following individ‐
ual functions become active as needed:
▷ The front safety belts are automatically pre‐
tensioned.
▷ Automatic closing of the windows.
▷ Automatic closing of the glass sunroof.
▷ For vehicles equipped with Comfort Seats:
automatic positioning of the backrest for the
front passenger seat.
After a critical driving situation without an acci‐
dent, the front safety belts are loosened again.
All other systems can be restored to the desired
setting.
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.
PostCrash
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.
