Now all the new models of Mercedes have an active driving assistance system to make your driving comfortable and safe. Among the several active driving assistance systems in your Mercedes-Benz, the most useful one is the active brake assist which is used for detecting the risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or a stationary obstacle in the path of your vehicle through an audible and visual warning. When it malfunctioned, go through the following slide to know about the way to deal with it properly.
2. Among the several
active driving assistance
in your Mercedes-Benz,
the active brake assist is
the most useful one.
3. It is used for detecting
the risk of a collision
with the vehicle in front
or a stationary obstacle
in the path of your
vehicle.
4. If you don’t react in
these situations, then
the brake assist can
partially brake your car.
5. On the other hand, it
can apply the brake
application partially for
moving people on the
path.
6. Moreover, it can detect
obstacles earlier and
prevent collisions in
your path even at high
speed.

8. For avoiding collisions,
the active brake assist is
applying additional
brake pressure even if
the driver doesn't press
the brake pedal.
9. In worst cases, this
system can initiate
autonomous emergency
braking when the driver
does not respond to an
obstacle.
10. In fact, it is showing a
warning sign if any
obstacle is found in the
front of the car like:
• Other moving vehicles
• Cyclists
• Pedestrians
11.
12. In worst cases, this
system can initiate
autonomous emergency
braking when the driver
does not respond to an
obstacle.
13. By overuse, the dirt
enters the sensors and
prevents them from
sensing the distance to
the object at the front.
14. Other causes behind
the problem with the
active brake assist in
your Mercedes are the:
• Coding issues
• Loose connection
• Incorrect coding
• Low battery voltage
• Damaged radar sensor
15.
16. Remove or clean all the
dirt and snow from the
bumper, windshield,
grill, and sensors to
again function
efficiently.
