If the driving stability control systems are
limited or deactivated, e.g., DSC OFF.
The braking intervention is executed only if ve‐
hicle stability has not been restricted, e.g., by
deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Con‐
trol.
If, depending on the vehicle equipment
version, the field of view of the camera in
the mirror or the radar sensor is dirty or ob‐
scured.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.

Object detection can be restricted. Observe
the limitations of the detection range and func‐
tional restrictions.

System limits
Warning sensitivity
Safety information
The more sensitive the warning settings are,
such as the warning time, the more warnings
are displayed. However, there may also be an
excess of false warnings.
WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not
at all due to the system limits. There is a risk of
accidents or risk of property damage. Observe
the information regarding the system limits
and actively intervene, if needed.◀
Collision warning with
braking function
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
The concept
The system can help prevent accidents. If an
accident cannot be prevented, the system will
help reduce the collision speed.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
E.g., the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
The system sounds a warning before an immi‐
nent collision and actuates brakes independ‐
ently if needed.
▷
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
The automatic braking intervention may be
executed with maximum braking force and for
a brief period only as necessary.
▷
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of
you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.
▷
▷
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
If the vehicle is equipped with Active Cruise
Control with Stop&Go, the front-end collision
warning is controlled via the cruise control ra‐
dar sensor in conjunction with a camera.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
The front-end collision warning is available
even if cruise control has been deactivated.
▷
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally, the collision warning and braking

Overview
Button in the vehicle
General information
The system issues a two-phase warning of a
possible danger of collision with vehicles at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. Time of
warnings may vary with the current driving sit‐
uation.
Detection range
Intelligent Safety button
Radar sensor
Objects are responded to if they are detected
by the system.
Safety information
WARNING
The radar sensor is located in the lower area of
the front bumper.
Indicators and warnings do not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility. Due to
system limits, warnings or reactions of the sys‐
tem may not be output or they may be output
too late or incorrectly. There is a risk of an ac‐
cident. Adjust the driving style to the traffic
conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively
intervene in the respective situations.◀
Always keep radar sensor clean and unob‐
structed.
Camera
WARNING
Due to system limits, individual functions
can malfunction during tow-starting/towing
with the Intelligent Safety systems activated,
e.g., approach control warning with light brak‐
ing function. There is a risk of an accident.
Switch all Intelligent Safety systems off prior to
tow-starting/towing.◀
The camera is installed near the interior mirror.

Warning with braking function
Display
If a collision with a recognized vehicle is immi‐
nent a warning symbol appears in the instru‐
ment cluster and in the Head-Up Display.

The system is automatically active after every
driving off.

▷
The menu for the intelligent safety
system is displayed. The systems
are individually switched off ac‐
cording to their respective set‐
tings.
You are requested to intervene by
braking or make an evasive maneu‐
ver.
▷
LED lights up orange or goes out respec‐
tive to their individual settings.
Prewarning
This warning is issued, e.g., when there is the
impending danger of a collision or the distance
to the vehicle ahead is too small.
Adjust as needed. Individual settings are
stored for the profile currently used.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is a prewarning.

The LED goes out.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is
assisted by an automatic braking intervention
in a possible risk of collision.
Setting the warning time
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.
The warning time can be set via iDrive.

Pedestrian warning with
Approach control
Detection range
Concept
The system's detection potential is limited.
The system can help prevent 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 danger of a
collision with pedestrians and includes a brak‐
ing function.
E.g., the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
▷
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
The camera in the area of the rearview mirror
controls 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
With sufficient brightness, the system warns
about possible collision danger with pedes‐
trians starting at approx. 6 mph/10 km/h to ap‐
prox. 35 mph/60 km/h and assists with braking
before a collision.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
