the scope of the system’s operation and limi-
tations.
Detection capability
The system's detection capability is limited.
Objects are only considered if they are within
the detection range of the installed sensors
and are detected by the system.
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.

Forward Collision Mitigation
Principle
The Forward Collision Mitigation can help
prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be
avoided, the system may help reduce the se-
verity of the accident.
The system can issue a warning of a possible
risk of collision and activate the brakes inde-
pendently, if needed.
General information
Depending on the equipment version, the For-
ward Collision Mitigation system includes the
following functions:
▷
Warning function in rear-end collision situa-
tions, refer to page 186.
▷ Warning function for oncoming traffic, refer
to page 187.
▷ Warning function for turning with oncoming
traffic, refer to page 188.
▷ Warning function for pedestrians, refer to
page 189.
▷ Warning function at intersections, refer to
page 190.
▷ Evasion Assistant, refer to page 191.
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
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.

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. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Individual functions may not work correctly
when towing with Front Collision Warning en-
abled or Cruise Control switched on. There is
a risk of accident. Switch off Front Collision
Warning and Cruise Control before towing.
