Approach control warning with
City light braking function
Overview
Button in the vehicle
Concept
The system may prevent some accidents. In the
event of an accident, the system may reduce im‐
pact speed.
The system sounds a warning before an immi‐
nent collision and activates brakes independ‐
ently, if needed.
The Brake Assistant function activates and ap‐
plies the brakes with limited force and duration.
A camera in the area of the interior mirror con‐
trols the system.

danger of collision at speeds from approx.
3 mph/5 km/h. The timing of warnings may vary
with the current driving situation.

Braking is performed at speeds up to approxi‐
mately 35 mph/60 km/h.

▷ All Intelligent Safety systems are

This warning is provided, for instance when there
is impending danger of a collision or the distance
to the vehicle ahead is too small.
▷ The LED lights up green.
If a prewarning is provided, respond by braking
as warranted.
Hold down button:
▷ All Intelligent Safety systems are

Acute warning with braking function
An acute warning is displayed when there is an
imminent danger of collision due to the vehicle
approaching another object at a high speed.
▷ The LED goes out.
Setting the warning time
The warning time can be set.
Via iDrive:
The driver must intervene actively when there is
an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is as‐
sisted by a minor automatic braking intervention
in a possible risk of collision.
1. "My Vehicle"
Acute warnings may be provided even when
there has been no prior warning.
2. "Vehicle settings"
3. "Intelligent Safety"
4. "Warning time"
Braking intervention
5. Select the desired setting.
The warning prompts the driver to intervene.
During a warning, the maximum braking force is
used. This requires the brake pedal to be de‐
pressed sufficiently quickly and forcefully. If there
is a risk of collision, the system may assist with
braking. When the vehicle is traveling at a low
speed, the vehicle may come to a complete stop.
The selected time is stored for the driver profile
currently used.
Warning with braking function
Display
A warning symbol appears in the instrument
cluster and in the Head-up Display if a collision
with a detected vehicle is imminent.
The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle
stability has not been restricted, for instance by
deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Control.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.

Safety
CONTROLS
The system’s ability to detect objects may be
limited in some circumstances. Refer to the in‐
formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding the
limitations of the system and actively intervene
as warranted.
▷ If the field of view of the camera in the mirror
is dirty or obscured.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after drive-ready state is
established.
▷ During calibration of the camera immediately
after vehicle delivery.
System limits
▷ If there are constant blinding effects because
of oncoming light, for instance from the sun
low in the sky.
Safety information
Warning
Warning sensitivity
The system is designed to operate in certain
conditions and circumstances. Due to condi‐
tions or other factors, the system may not re‐
spond. There may be a risk of accident or risk
of damage to property. Actively intervene as
warranted. Refer to the information in this Own‐
er’s Manual regarding the scope of the sys‐
tem’s operation and limitations.
The more sensitive the warning settings are, for
example the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. Therefore, there may also be an ex‐
cess of premature or unjustified warnings and re‐
actions.
Daytime pedestrian collision
mitigation
Detection range
Concept
The system's detection potential is limited.
The system may prevent some accidents with
pedestrians.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
When driving at city speeds, the system will is‐
sue a warning if there is imminent risk of a colli‐
sion with pedestrians, and support this with a
light braking function.
The following situations may not be detected, for
example:
▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
The camera in the area of the interior mirror con‐
trols the system.
▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,
or sharply decelerating vehicles.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
General information
In sufficiently bright conditions, the system is‐
sues a warning of a possible risk of collision with
pedestrians in the speed range from approx.
6 mph/10 km/h to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐
lowing situations:
The system reacts to people who are within the
detection range of the system.
▷ In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
▷ In tight curves.
▷ If the driving stability control systems are de‐
activated, for instance DSC OFF.
