Safety information
WARNING
The system does not relieve from per‐
sonal responsibility. 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 appropri‐
ate.◀
Function
When the safety belt is fastened, the driver's
and passenger's belt straps are automatically
tightened once after driving away.
In accident-critical situations, the following in‐
dividual 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 sliding visor.
Automatic closing of the panoramic glass
sunroof, including sliding visor.
For vehicles equipped with comfort seats
in the front: automatic positioning of the
backrest for the front passenger seat.
For vehicles equipped with comfort rear
seats: automatic positioning of the back‐
rests for the rear passenger seats.
After a critical driving situation without an acci‐
dent, the front safety belts are loosened again.
If the belt tension does not loosen automati‐
cally, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the safety
belt using the red button in the buckle. Fasten
the safety belt before continuing on your trip.
All other systems can be restored to the de‐
sired setting.
PostCrash – 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.
To do this, for a short time the braking pres‐
sure applied when stepping on the brake pedal
must be higher than the braking pressure ach‐
ieved by the automatic braking function. This
interrupts automatic braking.
Interrupting automatic braking
It can be necessary to interrupt automatic
braking in certain situations, for instance for an
evasive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:
By pressing the brake pedal.
By pressing the accelerator pedal.
Alertness 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.
