How to Turn Off the Mercedes-Benz Active Brake Assist System?
2 Answers
In the "Assistance" menu, navigate to the submenu for "Collision Prevention Assist" or "Active Brake Assist," select the option to "Enable/Disable" the Collision Prevention Assist function, and choose to disable it. At this point, an icon indicating the deactivation of the assist function will appear on the display screen. Below is an introduction to the Active Brake Assist system: 1. Introduction: The system detects emergency braking situations by sensing the rate and magnitude of braking force, then applies the optimal pressure to the brakes, helping to reduce braking distance. 2. Function: The system uses sensors at the front of the vehicle to detect the distance between the vehicle and obstacles ahead. When the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle ahead is very close and the driver does not react, the system will automatically activate.
Turning off the Mercedes-Benz Active Brake Assist system is actually quite simple. I often operate this feature when driving my Mercedes GLB. Just find the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen, select the assistance systems, and you'll see the Active Brake Assist option. Tap to enter and turn it off. The key point is that this system defaults to automatically activating every time you start the vehicle, so you'll need to manually disable it again when washing the car or passing through narrow sections. I also turn it off when maneuvering in parking spaces to prevent false obstacle detection and sudden braking. However, it's recommended to keep it activated on highways or in urban areas. Last time it helped me avoid a rear-end collision by automatically braking - safety always comes first. After deactivation, a small yellow warning light on the instrument cluster will indicate the function is turned off.
