Safety information
Harder vehicle deceleration
In certain situations, it may be necessary to
bring the vehicle to a stop more quickly than
automatic braking with PostCrash iBrake.
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment. Due to the
system limits, critical situations might not be
detected reliably or in time. There is a risk
of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic con-
ditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropriate
To do this, quickly apply extra force to the
brake. The brake pressure will then be higher
than the brake pressure generated by auto-
matic braking. Automatic braking with Post-
Crash iBrake is canceled.
Abort automatic braking
It may be necessary to cancel PostCrash
iBrake automatic braking in certain situations,
e.g., when making an evasive maneuver.
Function
Depending on the equipment and require-
ments, the following individual functions are
active in accident-critical driving situations:
Abort automatic braking:
▷
By depressing the brake pedal for slightly
longer.
▷
Automatic closing of the windows.
The windows remain open with a small
gap.
▷
By pressing the accelerator pedal for
slightly longer.
▷
▷
Automatic closing of the glass sunroof.
The sun protection is also closed.
Fatigue alert
Automatic positioning of the backrest for
the front passenger seat.
Principle
Systems can be returned to the desired set-
tings following a critical driving situation with-
out accident.
The Fatigue Alert break recommendation fea-
ture can detect when the driver is fatigued
or less alert during long, monotonous trips,
for instance on highways. This function recom-
mends taking a break.
PostCrash iBrake
Safety information
Principle
In certain accident situations, the PostCrash
iBrake can automatically bring the vehicle to a
standstill without intervention by the driver.
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
one's physical state. An increasing lack of
alertness or fatigue may not be detected or
not be detected in time. There is a risk of
accident, injury, and property damage. Make
sure that the driver is rested and alert. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions.
General information
The PostCrash iBrake can reduce the risk of a
further collision and its consequences.
At standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released
automatically.
