Parking brake
03
137 General
FunctionA faint electric motor noise can be heard when
the electrical parking brake is being applied.
The noise can also be heard during the auto-
matic function checking of the parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brake
is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.
If it is applied when the car is moving then the
normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts
on all four wheels. Brake function changes over
to the rear wheels when the car is almost sta-
tionary.
Low battery voltageIf the battery voltage is too low then the parking
brake can neither be released nor applied.
Connect a donor battery if the battery voltage
is too low, see page 120.
Applying the parking brake
Parking brake control - apply.
1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.
2. Press the control.
> The combined instrument panel symbol
starts flashing - once there is a
constant glow it is applied.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and make
sure that the car is at a standstill position.
•When parking the vehicle, always engage
1st gear (for manual gearbox) or put the
gear selector in position P (for automatic
gearbox).
In an emergency the parking brake can be
applied when the vehicle is moving by depress-
ing the control. When the control is released orthe accelerator pedal is depressed the braking
is interrupted.
NOTE
In the event of emergency braking at speeds
above 10 km/h a signal sounds during the
braking procedure.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked facing uphill:
•Turn the wheels away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
•Turn the wheels towards the kerb.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when park-
ing on a slope - leaving the car in gear, or in
P if it has automatic transmission, is not suf-
ficient to hold the car in all situation.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.141 General
HomeLinkŸ1 is a programmable remote control
which can remotely control up to three different
devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-
tem, outdoor lighting and indoor lighting etc.)
and in doing so replace their remote controls.
For more information on HomeLink
Ÿ, visit:
www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number, +49 6838 907 277).
WARNING
•If HomeLinkŸ is used to operate a
garage door or gate, make sure that
there is no-one in the vicinity of the door
or gate while it is moving.
•The car should remain outside the
garage while a garage door opener is
being programmed.
•Do not use HomeLinkŸ for any garage
door that does not have safety stop and
safety reverse.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when changing to another
car or for use in another vehicle). It is also rec-
ommended that the programming for the but-
tons is deleted when the car is sold. See the
section "Resetting the HomeLink® buttons" on
page 142.
Programming HomeLinkŸ
NOTE
In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink
Ÿ can be programmed or
used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink
Ÿ for faster programming and
improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink
Ÿ buttons should be reset
before programming. When this has been
done HomeLink
Ÿ is set in "learn mode" and
ready for programming.
1. Aim the original remote control towards the
HomeLinkŸ button to be programmed and
hold it 5-14 cm from the button. Do not
obstruct the indicator lamp on
HomeLink
Ÿ.
2. Depress the button on the original remote
control and the button to be programmed
on HomeLink
Ÿ simultaneously. Do not
release the buttons until the indicator lamp
has changed over from slow to rapid flash-
ing. Both the buttons must be released
when the indicator lamp flashes quickly.

Road sign information - RSI*
04
148* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on RSI
Examples of readable speed signs1.
The Road sign information function (RSI – Road
Sign Information) helps the driver to remember
which road signs the car has passed through
information on - among other things - the cur-
rent speed, the start/end of a motorway or
road, and when overtaking is prohibited.
If a sign for both a motorway/road for motor-
ised traffic and a sign showing the maximum
permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to
show the sign symbol for maximum permitted
speed.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable road traffic rules
and regulations are followed.
Operation
Recorded speed information.
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an
imposed speed, the sign is displayed as a sym-
bol on the instrument panel.Together with the symbol for
the current speed limit, a sign
showing that overtaking is
prohibited may also be dis-
played where appropriate.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs1.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos-
ted for the same road - an additional sign then
indicates the circumstances under which the
different speeds apply. The road section may
be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain
and/or fog, for example.
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
1Road signs which are displayed in the instrument panel are dependent on the market - the illustration only shows a few examples.

Road sign information - RSI*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.149
The speed applicable on an
exit is indicated by means of
an additional sign containing
an arrow. The arrow is dis-
played under the symbol
showing the speed.
Speed signs linked to this type of additional
sign are displayed only if the driver is using the
direction indicator.
Limited distance or time of daySome speeds are applicable
only after a specific distance
or at a certain time of day. The
driver's attention is drawn to
the situation by means of an
empty frame under the sym-
bol showing the speed.
Setting in MY CAR
Options in MY CAR.
The instrument panel’s speed symbol display
can be disabled. To deactivate the RSI func-
tion:

Information and go back by pressing
EXIT, see page 203.
Speed warningThe driver can opt to receive a warning (Speed
Alert) when the applicable speed limit is excee-
ded by 5 km/h or more. This warning is given
by the symbol showing the applicable maxi-
mum speed temporarily flashing when this
speed is exceeded.
To activate speed warning:
•Check speed warning in MY CAR
Settings
Car settingsSpeed alert
and go back by pressing EXIT, see
page 203.
Limitations
The RSI function's camera sensor is limited -
just like the human eye. Find out more about
this on page 178.
Signs which indirectly provide information on a
prevailing speed limit, e.g. name signs for
towns/districts, are not recorded by the RSI
function.Here are several examples of what can disrupt
the function:
•Faded signs
•Signs positioned on bends
•Rotated or damaged signs
•Concealed or poorly positioned signs.
•Signs completely or partly covered with
frost, snow and/or dirt.

Cruise control*

152* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on CC
The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps
the driver maintain an even speed, resulting in
a more relaxed driving on motorways and long,
straight roads in regular traffic flows.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the traffic conditions and intervene
when the cruise control is not maintaining a
suitable speed and/or suitable distance.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely.
