If a visual and/or acoustic warning is issued in an uncritical driving situation, or if the vehicle brakes lightly, you can interrupt the PRE-SAFE® Brake maneuver by pressing down all the way on the accelerator or using kickdown releasing the brake pedal The PRE-SAFE® Brake maneuver is terminated immediately when you avoid the obstacle by evasive steering you drive less than 9 mph (15 km/h) an obstacle can no longer be identified ahead of you the system no longer senses the risk of a collision i PRE-SAFE® Brake will remain passive while DISTRONIC Plus* is switched on ( page 443). After a hard collision or damage to the front of the vehicle from an accident, have the settings and operation of the radar sensors checked by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
