Active Protection – preventative occupant protection.
If the car enters a critical pre-crash scenario, the driver and front passenger belts are pulled tight, and the side windows and sunroof are closed. If the front-mounted camera or radar detects an emergency braking manoeuvre initiated by the driver or the onset of heavy understeer or oversteer, Active Protection deduces that a collision is likely. If a crash is unavoidable, the system automatically brakes the car without any intervention required from the driver. Following the initial impact, the car is then slowed to a standstill with maximum deceleration of 5 m/s2 and its brakes locked for a further 1.5 seconds. This reduces the likelihood of – or even prevents – a second collision.
So it seems that you need the radar or front mounted camera for this system to work.
