Warning from cruise control functions in the event of a collision risk
The driver system Pilot Assist* can warn the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly becomes too short.

Distance measurement with the camera and radar units
Pilot Assist uses approx. 40% of the foot brake's capacity. If the car needs to be braked more heavily than the driver support is capable of and the driver does not brake, the warning lamp and acoustic warning are activated to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.
Warning
The driver support systems only warn of vehicles which their radar unit has detected – hence a warning may not be given, or it may be given with a certain delay. Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when the situation requires.
