Visual warning
The vehicle's approach to an object is shown on
the Control Display. Objects that are further away
are already displayed before an acoustic signal is
given.
The display appears as soon as PDC is activated.
The recording range of the sensors is shown in
green, yellow and red if obstacles are detected
within the range.
Driving path lines are displayed for better estima‐
tion of the space required.
If the rear-view camera image is shown, it is pos‐
sible to change over to PDC or, if required, to an‐
other view with obstacle markings:

If necessary, push the Controller to the left.

Crossing traffic warning, see page 276: depend‐
ing on the equipment, the PDC display also
warns about vehicles approaching from the sides
at the front and rear.
Depending on the equipment
version: emergency braking
function, Active PDC
Principle
The emergency brake function of PDC initiates
emergency braking if there is an imminent risk of
a collision.
General
Due to the system limits, a collision cannot be
prevented under all circumstances.
The function is available at speeds below walking
speed when driving or rolling in reverse.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
braking intervention.
After emergency braking to a stop, it is possible
to continue a slow approach to the obstacle. To
approach, lightly depress the accelerator and re‐
lease it again.
If the accelerator is depressed for longer, the ve‐
hicle pulls away. Manual braking is possible at
any time.
The system uses the ultrasonic sensors of PDC
and Park Assistant.
Safety note
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. There is a risk of accident. Adapt
your driving style to the traffic conditions. Addi‐
tionally, look directly to check the traffic situa‐
tion and the area around the vehicle and inter‐
vene actively where appropriate.
Temporary switch-off
The emergency braking function can be
switched off temporarily:
Confirm the message on the Control Display.
If the journey is continued in these environmental
conditions, no further emergency braking is per‐
formed.
Settings
The system can be activated or deactivated. It is
possible to set which areas of the vehicle are
protected by the system.
