The concept
The ystem can help prevent accidents. If an ac‐
cident cannot be prevented, the system will
help reduce the collision speed.
The system sounds a warning before an immi‐
nent collision and actuates brakes independ‐
ently if needed.
Intelligent Safety button
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
The system is controlled via a camera in the
base of the mirror.
Switching on/off
Some Intelligent Safety systems are automati‐
cally active after every departure. Some Intelli‐
gent Safety systems activate according to the
last setting.
The front-end collision warning is available
even if cruise control has been deactivated.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally the collision warning is delayed
avoiding false alarm.
Press button briefly:
▷ The menu for the intelligent safety
system is displayed. The systems

cording to their respective settings.
▷ LED lights up orange or goes out respective
to their individual settings.

for the profile currently in use.
