Driving Aids

Alert : When activated, a red warning light flashes, an audible warning chime sounds and a warning message shows in the information display. Brake Support : Assists the driver in reducing collision speed by preparing the brake system for rapid braking. Brake support does not automatically activate the brakes, but if the brake pedal is pressed even lightly by the driver, brake support could add additional braking up to full force. Active Braking : Active braking may activate if the system determines that a collision is imminent. The systemmay help the driver reduce impact damage or avoid the crash completely. Note: If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist alerts as being too frequent or disturbing, then you can reduce the alert sensitivity, though the manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system warnings. Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist Settings You can adjust the Pre-Collision Assist settings by using the information display control. See General Information (page 96). If required, you can switch active braking off using the information display control. See General Information (page 96). Note: Active braking automatically turns on every time you switch the ignition on.

WARNINGS pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians, or pedestrians that the system cannot distinguish from a group. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. The system cannot help prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this system to replace driver judgment and the need to maintain a safe distance and speed. Using the Pre-Collision Assist System The system is active at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and pedestrian detection is active at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h). E156130 If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours, or a pedestrian within your driving path, the system is designed to provide three levels of functionality: 1. Alert

2. Brake Support 3. Active Braking
