How to Turn Off Mercedes-Benz Automatic Braking?
2 Answers
Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. Locate the up, down, left, and right buttons on the left side of the steering wheel in the car. First, use the [Left/Right] buttons to find and enter the [Assistance] menu. Then, use the [Up/Down] buttons to locate the submenu named [Collision Prevention Assist] or [Active Brake Assist], and press [OK] to confirm.
I've been using a Mercedes-Benz for several years. Turning off the automatic braking isn't too difficult, but you need to be careful when doing it. First, sit in the driver's seat and turn on the engine without starting the car. Locate the multifunction button on the right side of the steering wheel or the central control touchscreen, and press it to access the main menu. Select 'Vehicle' settings, then 'Driver Assistance Systems,' and tap on the Pre-Safe function or other active safety options. Inside, you'll find a sensitivity adjustment slider; you can drag it to the lowest setting to temporarily reduce its activity. If you want to turn it off completely, check the manual to see if it's supported—some models don't allow it and only permit temporary adjustments. However, I don't recommend disabling it long-term because automatic braking can save lives in emergencies, such as when a car suddenly appears ahead—it will automatically slow down. After making adjustments, it's best to check if the system has reverted to default settings. Just in case, remember to back up your settings. Driving safety should always come first—don't take risks just to save trouble.
