SRS is an acronym for Supplemen-
tal Restraint System

In the event of a collision, the 
seat belts restrain the occupants 
in their seats, but if the impact of 
the collision is especially 
severe, there is danger of an 
occupant’s head and chest con-
tacting the steering wheel, dash-
board and windshield. In this 
case, the SRS front airbags and 
SRS knee airbags deploy 
(inflate), instantly creating an air 
cushion to help reduce the 
impact on the occupants and 
restrain them from contacting 
the steering wheel, etc. with 
their head, chest and knees.
The SRS front air bags and SRS 
knee airbags deploy only when 
an impact exceeding a certain 
threshold is detected. In a colli-
sion, even if the impact is 
severe enough to cause the 
vehicle body to deform, the SRS 
airbags may not deploy if the 
impact of the collision is suffi-
ciently dispersed by the crash 
structures of the vehicle body. If 
the force of the collision does 
not cause the airbags to deploy, 
the seatbelts will protect the 
occupants.
When an airbag deploys, as it 
will inflate nearly instantly, it may 
impact an occupant and cause 

an injury, or the loud noise emit-
ted by ignition or deployment 
may cause temporary partial 
loss of hearing. Also, as an air-
bag and nearby parts will be 
extremely hot after the airbag 
deploys, touching them may 
cause burns. For these reasons, 
deployment of the airbags is not 
entirely risk free. Therefore, in 
order to reduce this risk, the air-
bags are designed to only 
deploy when additional reduc-
tion of the impact applied to the 
occupants in a collision is nec-
essary.

WARNING

Wear the seatbelt correctly and sit 

with the correct posture.

If you sit with your head too close 

to the steering wheel, when the 

SRS front airbag deploys, it may 

apply a very large impact to your 

body. Sit in the driver’s seat with 

the correct posture and keep an 

appropriate distance away from 

the steering wheel.

This warning is provided, for 
instance when there is impend-
ing danger of a collision or the 
distance to the vehicle ahead is 
too small.
If a prewarning is provided, 
respond by braking as war-
ranted.

An acute warning is displayed in 
case of the imminent danger of 
a collision when the vehicle 
approaches another object at a 
high differential speed.
Intervene in the case of an 
acute warning. Depending on 
the driving situation and the 
equipment version, the acute 
warning may be accompanied 
by a brief activation of the brak-
ing system.
With the warning time setting 

"late" the brief activation of the 
braking system is omitted.
If an acute warning is provided, 
the system may also provide 
assistance, such as through 
braking, when there is risk of 
collision.
Acute warnings may be pro-
vided even when there has been 
no prior warning.

The warning prompts the driver 
to intervene. If a warning is 
active, the maximum braking 
force is used when the brake is 
applied. The brake pedal must 
be applied sufficiently quickly 
and forcefully.
The system may also assist in 
braking if there is a risk of colli-
sion.
When the vehicle is traveling at 
a low speed, the vehicle may 
come to a complete stop.

Depending on the selected 
warning settings, e.g., warning 
time, more or fewer warnings 
can be displayed. However, 
there may also be an excess of 
premature warnings of critical 
situations.

In the event of an accident, the 
system can bring the vehicle to 
a halt automatically without 
intervention by the driver in cer-
tain situations. This can reduce 
the risk of a further collision and 
the consequences thereof.

After coming to a halt, the brake 
is released automatically.

It can be necessary to bring the 
vehicle in certain situations to a 
halt quicker.
To do this, for a short time the 
braking pressure applied when 
stepping on the brake pedal 
must be higher than the braking 
pressure achieved by the auto-
matic braking function. This 
interrupts automatic braking.

It can be necessary to interrupt 
automatic braking in certain situ-
ations, for instance for an eva-
sive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:



By pressing the brake pedal.



By pressing the accelerator 
pedal.

The system can detect decreas-
ing alertness or fatigue of the 
driver during long, monotonous 
trips, for instance on highways. 
In this situation, it is recom-
mended that the driver takes a 
break.

ABS prevents locking of the 
wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steer-
ing power even during full brake 
applications, which increases

to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their 
surroundings and driving at a safe

When you apply the brakes rap-
idly, the system automatically 
produces the greatest possible 
braking force boost. It reduces 
the braking distance to a mini-

This system utilizes all of the 
capabilities provided by the Anti-
lock Brake System ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on 
the brake pedal for the duration 
of the emergency stop.

In combination with Dynamic 
radar cruise control, this system 
ensures that the brakes respond 
even more rapidly when braking 
in critical situations.

This system supports driving off 
on uphill grades.

After the rocker switch is released, 
the vehicle maintains its final 
speed. Pressing the switch beyond 
the resistance point causes the 
vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.

An interrupted cruise control can 
be continued by calling up the 
stored speed.
Make sure that the difference 
between current speed and 
stored speed is not too large 
before calling up the stored 
speed. Otherwise, unintentional 
braking or accelerating may 
occur.

Cruise control is continued with 
the stored values.
In the following cases, the 
stored speed value is deleted 
and cannot be called up again:



When the system is switched 
off.



When drive-ready state is 
switched off.

With the proper equipment, the 
value of the selected speed is 
briefly displayed digitally.

Some system information can 
also be displayed in the
