Forward Collision Mitigation
with brake intervention
Principle
Forward Collision Mitigation with brake in-
tervention can help to prevent accidents
within a certain speed range. To do so, the
area around the vehicle is monitored by var-
ious sensors.
If an accident cannot be avoided, the sys-
tem can help reduce the severity of the ac-
cident. The system can issue a warning of
a possible risk of collision and activate the
brakes independently, if needed. You can
cancel automatic brake intervention man-
ually, e.g., by actively moving the steering
wheel.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the For-
ward Collision Mitigation system includes
the following functions:
– The Rear-end collision warning func-
tion, refer to page 170.
– The oncoming traffic warning function,
refer to page 171.
– The oncoming traffic warning function
when turning, refer to page 172.
– The pedestrian warning function, refer
to page 173.
– The intersection warning function, refer
to page 174.
– The Evasion Assistant, refer to
page 175.
Forward Collision Mitigation can be acti-
vated or deactivated using the Interaction
Unit. You can also configure the warning
time. Various indicator lights and warning
lights are displayed on the Interaction Unit
depending on the collision risk detected.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There
is a risk of accident, injury, or property
damage. Adjust driving style to traffic con-
ditions. Watch the surrounding traffic sit-
uation closely, be ready to take over steer-
ing and braking at any time, and actively
intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as
a substitute for the driver’s personal judg-
ment. Due to its limits, the system may not
issue warnings or responses, or these may
be issued late or in a manner that is not
consistent with their normal use. There
is a risk of accident, injury, or property
damage. Adjust driving style to traffic con-
ditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate
Sensors
Depending on vehicle equipment, the For-
ward Collision Mitigation system is control-
led by the following sensors:
– Camera behind the windshield.
– Front radar sensor.
Additional information:
Sensors of the vehicle, refer to page 34.
Speed range
The Forward Collision Mitigation system is-
sues a warning for a possible risk of colli-
sion at speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h.
