a collision. The intervention can bring the vehi‐
cle to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: During a braking inter‐
vention up to a complete stop, the engine may
be shut down.
The braking intervention is executed only if
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on
and Dynamic Traction Control DTC is acti‐
vated.
Above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h the braking
intervention occurs as a brief braking pressure.
No automatic delay occurs.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restric‐
tions are to be considered.
System limits
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Thus a warning might not be issued or be is‐
sued late.
E. g. the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of
you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.
In tight curves.
If the driving stability control systems are
limited or deactivated, e.g., DSC OFF.
If, depending on the vehicle equipment
version, the field of view of the camera in
the mirror or the radar sensor is dirty or ob‐
scured.
Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine, via the Start/Stop knob.
During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.
If there is constant blinding effects be‐
cause of oncoming light, e. g., from the sun
low in the sky.
Warning sensitivity
The more sensitive the warning settings are,
e.g. the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. However, there may also be an ex‐
cess of false warnings.
Pedestrian warning
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the
function warns of an imminent collision with
pedestrians during daytime or nighttime.
The function is subdivided into the following
systems:
During daytime: Pedestrian warning with
city braking function, refer to page 123
At night: Night vision, refer to page 126
Pedestrian warning with city
braking function
The concept
The ystem can help prevent accidents with pe‐
destrians.
The system issues a warning in the city driving
speed area if there is imminent danger of a col‐
lision with pedestrians and includes a braking
function.
The camera in the area of the rearview mirror
controls the system.
