The Forward Collision Mitigation can help
prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be
avoided, the system can help reduce the se-
verity of the accident.

Warning function in rear-end collision situa-
tions, refer to page 184.
Because of system limitations, this system
may either not respond, or respond too late,
incorrectly, or without cause. There is a risk
of accident, injury, or property damage. Ac-
tively intervene as warranted. Refer to the in-
formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding
the scope of the system’s operation and limi-
tations.
Warning function for oncoming traffic, refer
to page 185.
Warning function for turning with oncoming
traffic, refer to page 186.
Warning function for pedestrians, refer to
page 187.
Warning function at intersections, refer to
page 188.
Detection capability
The system's detection capability is limited.
Evasion Assistant, refer to page 189.
The system only takes into account objects
that are located in the detection range of the
installed sensors and are detected by the sys-
tem.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, or property damage. Adjust driv-
ing style to traffic conditions. Watch the sur-
rounding traffic situation closely, be ready to
take over steering and braking at any time,
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the area
is monitored by cameras or radar sensors.
Thus, a system response might not come or
might come late.

Warning
Turning on system manually
The system is activated by setting the warning
time.
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.
Due to its limits, the system may not issue
warnings or responses, or these may be is-
sued late or in a manner that is not consis-
tent with their normal use. There is a risk of
accident, injury, or property damage. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch sur-
rounding traffic closely and actively intervene
where appropriate
Additional information:
Setting the warning time, refer to page 182.
Turning system off manually
Depending on national-market version, the ad-
justment can only be made when the vehicle is
at a standstill or in a very low speed range.
If necessary, the switch-off must be confirmed
successively on the control display.

If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated
temporarily.
Some functions are deactivated earlier.
The more sensitive the warning time is set to
be, the more warnings will be displayed. The
system can therefore also issue more early or
unfounded warnings and reactions.
The system is enabled as soon as the speed
drops below these values again.
Turning the Forward Collision
Mitigation on/off
The system checks for visual impairments. De-
pending on the vehicle equipment, the Driver
Attention Camera in the instrument cluster
captures the driver’s field of vision. Visibility
and field of vision also affect the timing of the
warnings.
Turning on the system automatically
Depending on the national-market version, the
system is automatically active after every de-
parture.

lights are shown on the instrument cluster and,
depending on vehicle equipment, on the Head-
up display:

A warning signal sounds:
There is a risk of collision. Intervene imme-
diately.
Automatic brake intervention:
Icon
Meaning
Depending on the equipment and situation
in case of risk of imminent collision, the
system can also intervene with an auto-
matic brake intervention and automatically
decelerate the vehicle, if necessary, to a
complete stop.
Risk of collision with a person, e.g., a
pedestrian.
Risk of collision, for instance with an
oncoming or a vehicle driving ahead.
When the brake pedal is depressed quickly and
hard, the maximum brake power of the vehicle
is used.
Risk of collision, e.g., with a vehicle
crossing from the right.
Risk of collision, e.g., with a vehicle
crossing from the left.
Automatic brake intervention
In case of a risk of collision, the system can
assist with an automatic brake intervention, if
necessary.
General risk of collision.
When the vehicle is traveling at a low speed,
the vehicle may come to a complete stop.
The corresponding indicator lights and warn-
ing lights may display differently if the system
detects multiple objects.
During automatic brake intervention, Dynamic
Stability Control activates automatically.
A brake intervention can be canceled by de-
pressing the accelerator pedal with sufficient
force, releasing the brake pedal, or by actively
steering.
Warning function
The Forward Collision Mitigation warns on dif-
ferent warning levels, depending on the re-
spective hazardous situation.
Depending on the equipment and situation,
the brake intervention can occur up to approx.
155 mph/250 km/h.
In the event of a prewarning, a warning light
illuminates red. In the event of an acute warn-
ing, a warning light flashes red and a warning
tone sounds.
At speeds above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h,
only a brief brake intervention will occur.
In the event of a system warning, the driver
must intervene immediately and in accordance
with the situation.

Warning
The warning function in forward collision situa-
tions warns of a possible risk of collision and
may brake independently.
Because of system limitations, this system
may either not respond, or respond too late,
incorrectly, or without cause. There is a risk
of accident, injury, or property damage. Ac-

Warning function with evasion
support
If the vehicle approaches another object at a
high differential speed, a warning is displayed
if there is an immediate risk of collision.
The system issues a warning and intervenes
