Chaps, just for clarification, my car is a 2015 E63 with no options and therefore, no distronic. I assume therefore that my brakes will never auto apply unless in a circumstance whereby a) My red triangle warning light is on and b) I, having first touched the brake pedal, the computer then senses that I am too close to another vehicle and c) having further sensed that I had not applied enough brake pressure to avoid a collision would then and only then take over and apply as much pressure as it sensed was necessary to avoid the collision, if indeed that was possible.
Is that correct or are there circumstances when the car will still auto apply the brakes?
