Safety information
At standstill
After coming to a halt, the brake is released
automatically.
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
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.
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.
Function
Depending on the equipment and require-
ments, the following individual functions are
active in accident-critical driving situations:
Abort automatic braking
It may be necessary to cancel PostCrash
iBrake automatic braking in certain situations,
e.g., when making an evasive maneuver.
▷
Automatic closing of the windows.
The windows remain open with a small
gap.
Abort automatic braking:
▷
The glass sunroof/panoramic glass sunroof
closes automatically.
▷
By depressing the brake pedal for slightly
longer.
The sun protection is also closed.
Automatic closing of glass sunroof.
▷
By pressing the accelerator pedal for
slightly longer.
▷
▷
Automatic positioning of the backrest for
the front passenger seat.
Fatigue alert
Systems can be returned to the desired set-
tings following a critical driving situation with-
out accident.
Principle
The Fatigue Alert break recommendation fea-
ture can detect when the driver is fatigued or
less alert during long, monotonous trips, for in-
stance on highways. The system recommends
a break.
PostCrash iBrake
Principle
In certain accident situations, the PostCrash
iBrake can automatically bring the vehicle to a
standstill without intervention by the driver.
Safety information
Warning
General information
The PostCrash iBrake can reduce the risk of a
further collision and its consequences.
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
