Collision risk warning from speed-controlling functions
The driver support system Pilot Assist* can alert the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly decreases to an unsafe distance.

Camera and radar unit distance monitoring
Pilot Assist uses approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situation requires more braking force than driver support can provide, and if the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning light and audible warning signal will be activated to alert the driver that immediate action is required.
Warning
The driver support system only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, a warning may come after a delay or not at all. Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.
