play with the recommendation to take a
break.
A recommendation to take a break is dis-
played only once during an uninterrupted
trip.
After a break, another recommendation to
take a break cannot be displayed until after
approximately 45 minutes.
System limits
The function may be limited in the follow-
ing situations and may issue an incorrect
warning or no warning at all:
– When the time is set incorrectly.
– When the vehicle speed is mainly below
about 43 mph/70 km/h.
– With a sporty driving style, such as dur-
ing rapid acceleration or when corner-
ing 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 af-
ter parking the vehicle, for instance in the
case of a break during longer trips on high-
ways.
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 cer-
tain 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. Secure the vehicle against
rolling.
Harder vehicle braking
In certain situations, it can be necessary to
bring the vehicle to a halt more quickly than
the Brake Assistant allows.
To do this, quickly apply extra force to the
brake. For a brief period, the braking pres-
sure will be higher than the braking pres-
sure that is achieved by the automatic brak-
ing 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.
