Concept
The emergency braking function of PDC initiates
an emergency braking in case of acute risk of
collision.
General information
This function may not be available. Contact your
authorized dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center as to whether this addi‐
tional function is currently in your vehicle or when
it can be installed in your vehicle in the future.
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be pre‐
vented under all circumstances.
The function is available below walking speed
when driving in reverse or rolling backward.
A press of the accelerator pedal interrupts the
brake intervention.
After emergency braking to a stop, further creep‐
ing toward an obstacle is possible. Proceed with
caution. To move forward, lightly press the accel‐
erator pedal and release as needed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer, the
vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possible at
any time.
The system uses the ultrasonic sensors of the
Park Distance Control PDC and the Parking As‐
sistant.
