68 Safety
Driving safety
systems
In this section, you will find information
about the following driving safety system s:
! ABS(A nti-lock B raking S ystem)
! BAS (B rake As sist)
! ESP (E lectronic S tability P rogram)
i In wintry conditions, use winter tyres (M+S
tyres), with snow chains if ne cessary. The maxi-
mu m effect of ABS, BAS, ESP and SBC can only
be ac hievedin this way. ABS regulates the brake
pressure insuch a
way that the wheels do not lock when you
brake. This allows you to continue steer-
ing.
ABS works from a speed of approxi mately
8 km /hupwards, regardless of road sur-
face conditions.
ABS works on slip pery road surfaces, even
when you only brake gent ly.
The - indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster ( =page 12 )light s up when you
turn the keyto position 2in the ignition
lock. It goes out when the engine isrun-
ning. This indicates that ABS is opera-
tional. Dr
iving safety systems G
Risk of accident The risk of an acci
dent increases especially if
you:
! drive too fast, particularly when cornering
and ona wet or slippery road surfa ce
! drive too close to th evehicle in front
The driving safety systems described in this
section are unable to reduce this risk or over-
ride the laws of physics.
For this reason, always adapt your driving
style to suit the current road and weather con-
ditions and maintain asuffici en tdistanc efrom
other road users and objectsonthe road. ABS
G
Risk of accident Do not depress the brake pedal several times
in
qu ick succession (pumping). Depress the
brake firmly and evenly .Pumping the brake
ped alreduces the braking effect. 209en_d2.boo Seite

You can use the operating system to limit
the speed permanently to a value between

an d the maximum speed.
If you wish to use Speedtronic to set a
speed limit for dr iving with winter tyres,
you must:

Operation
Winter driving
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, at the on-
set of winter. This servi ceincludes the fol-
lo wi ng:
! Engine oil change,
if the current oil used has not been
approved for winter use
! The antifreeze /anti-corrosion
concentration is checked
! A concentrated cleanin gagent is
added to the windscreen and headl amp
cleaning system fluid*
! The battery is checked
! A tyre change Us
ewinter tyres at temperatures below
+7 °C and on snow or ice-covered roads.
Th e maximum effect of the ABS and ESP
dri ving systems is on lyachieved in win ter
with these tyr es.
Us ewinter tyres of the same make and
tread on all wheels to maintain safe han-
dling characteristics. Always observe the maximum permitted
speed sp
ecified for the winter tyres you
have fitted. If you fit winter tyres whi ch
have a lower maximu mpermitt ed speed
than that of the vehicle, affix an appropri-
ate warning sign in the driver's field of
vision. This ca nbe obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
In such circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
to the maximum permitted speed for the
winter tyres using permanent Speedtronic
( = pa ge 211). Winter dri

Risk of accident You must re
place wint ertyres with tread
de pth sof less than 4 mm immediately.
These tyres are no tsuitable for use in winter
an d do not provide sufficient grip. You could
therefore lose control of the vehicle and
cause an accide nt. 209en_d2.boo Seite

258 Operation
Winter driving
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
spee d of 50 km /h. Remove the snow
chains as soon as pos sible if you are no
longer driving on snow-covered roads.
i Youmay wish to deactivate ESP when pull-
ing away on snow chains ( =
page 70). This will
help you to achieve an effective cutting action.
If you are intending to fit snow chains,
please remember the follow ing:
! Snow chains cannot be fitted on all
whee l/tyre combinations.
! Fit snow chains only to the rear wheels.
Comply with the manufacturer's instal-
lat ion instructions.
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that, for
safety reasons, you only use snow
chains wh ich have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz.
! Youmust not fit snow chains to AMG tyres. You should drive particularly carefully on
icy roads. Avoid sudden accelerati
on,
steering mo vements and braking.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot
be brought to a standstill at a low speed:
! shift in toneut ral
! move the selector lever to N
! try to keep the vehicle under control
using corrective steering G
Risk of accident If you fit the spare wheel
*when driving with
winter tyres, pl ease be awarethat driving
stability will beimp aired owing to unstable
cornering characteristics cause dby the dif-
ferent tyres. You should ther efore adapt
your driving style and drive carefully.
Have the spare wheel* changed at the near-
est qualifi edspecialist workshop which has
the necessary specia list knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recomme nds that youuse a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-re lated systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Snow chains Winter driving
