Owner's Manual
Owner's Manual Vehicles with a navigation system: the vehicle is close to a radio
telescope facility and is therefore prohibited from transmitting any
radar signals. The radar sensor system has switched off automat-
ically (Y
page 375).
If DISTRONIC PLUS was activated, it is no longer available. A
warning tone also sounds.
If Blind Spot Assist or Active Blind Spot Assist was activated, it is
no longer available. The yellow 9indicator lamps also light up
in the exterior mirrors.
BAS PLUS (Brake Assist PLUS) and PRE-SAFE ®
Brake are then also
unavailable.
X Drive on.
Once you have moved far enough away from the radio telescope,
the above functions are available again. Vehicles with Becker
®
MAP PILOT: if the Becker ®
MAP PILOT is
not connected, the radar sensor system is deactivated automati-
cally.
BAS PLUS, DISTRONIC PLUS, Blind Spot Assist or Active Blind
Spot Assist and PRE-SAFE ®
Brake are unavailable.

The red brake system
warning lamp comes on
while the engine is run-
ning. A warning tone
also sounds.
There is insufficient brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
G WARNING
The braking efficiency may be impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
X Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions. Do not continue driving
under any circumstances.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 164).
X Do not top up the brake fluid. Topping up will not rectify the
fault.
X Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
X Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction
display. !
The yellow ABS warning
lamp is lit while the
engine is running.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) has been deactivated due to a fault.
For this reason, BAS (Brake Assist), BAS PLUS, ESP
®
(Electronic
Stability Program), PRE-SAFE ®
, PRE-SAFE ®
Brake, the HOLD func-
tion, hill start assist, the adaptive brake lights and ESP ®
trailer
stabilisation are also deactivated, for example.
ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated.
G WARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you
brake hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affec-
ted. The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can
increase.
If ESP ®
is not operational, ESP ®
is unable to stabilise the vehicle.
The danger of skidding and having an accident increases.
X Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction
display.
X Drive on carefully.
X Visit a qualified specialist workshop.
If the ABS control unit is faulty, there is also a possibility that other
systems, such as the navigation system or the automatic trans-
mission, will not be available. 286

driving in a country in which the radar sensor system is not approved, you must deactivate
the system using the on-board computer (Y page 242).
The current country overview can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or on
the Internet at: http://www.mercedes-benz.de/betriebsanleitung.
Vehicles with a navigation system: the radar sensor system is deactivated automatically
near radio telescope facilities. A display message appears in the multifunction display to tell
you that the radar sensor system is being switched off (Y page 272).
The currently active systems are automatically deactivated:
R DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 178)
R Blind Spot Assist (Y page 203)
R Active Blind Spot Assist (Y page 207)
R BAS PLUS (Y page 66)
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake (Y page 69)
If deactivation does not occur automatically, you must deactivate the radar sensor system
using the on-board computer (Y page 242).
Vehicles without navigation and vehicles for Australia: you must deactivate the radar
sensor system using the on-board computer when you are near a radio telescope facility
