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.

ments, the following individual functions are

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.
