Electro-mechanical
parking brake
Operation
The electro-mechanical parking brake replaces
the handbrake.

in the button
and in the infotainment display will light up.
� To release the parking brake, press the brake or
accelerator pedal with the ignition switched on
and simultaneously press the switch. The warn­
ing Lamps .
in the switch and on the display
will go out.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electro-mechani­
cal parking brake. The parking brake replaces the
conventional handbrake, and is mainly intended
to prevent the vehicle from rolling away acciden­
tally.
66 However,
the electro-mechanical parking brake
also offers a number of convenience and safety
features in addition to the functions of a normal
handbrake.
When driving away
- The parking brake auto release function relea­
ses the parking brake automatically when you
wish to start moving ¢ page 67, Driving away
from a standstill.
- When
driving away on a gradient, the parking
brake auto release function prevents the vehicle
from rolling back unintentionally. The braking
force of the parking brake is only released when
there is enough power at the wheels to make
the vehicle move in the desired direction.
Emergency braking function
An emergency braking function enables you to
stop the vehicle even if the conventional foot
brake should fail to work ¢ page 68, Emergen­
cy braking function.
Warning lamps - The warning Lamps.
on the display and in the
switch Light up when the parking brake is ap­
plied with the ignition switched on.
- The warning Lamps.
on the display and in the
switch Light up for approximately 20 seconds
when the parking brake is applied with the igni­
tion switched off.
_& WARNING
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when a gear is en­
gaged and the engine is running with the ve­
hicle stationary. The vehicle could otherwise
start moving immediately and possibly
cause an accident.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this
case, park the vehicle on a Level surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector Lever to position P (automatic
gearbox) to prevent it from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.

Emergency braking function
This feature enables you to stop the vehicle if the
main brake system should fail or if the pedal is
obstructed.
� To stop the vehicle with the parking brake in an
emergency, pull and hold the parking brake
switch q page 66, Fig. 74.
� The brakes will be released immediately if you
release the switch or press down the accelera­
tor.
If you pull out and hold the parking brake switch
at a road speed above about 3 km/h, this will ini­
tiate an emergency brake application. The brakes
are then applied hydraulically at all four wheels.
The effect is similar to heavy braking q .&. .
To prevent the emergency braking function from
being used accidentally, a warning buzzer sounds
when the switch is operated. The brakes are re­
leased immediately when you release the switch
or press down the accelerator.
A WARNING
You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If you use the
emergency braking function by activating the
parking brake switch, this has the same effect
as heavy braking. Please remember that the
ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL and traction
control functions) is still subject to certain
physical limits. In a corner or in bad road or
weather conditions an emergency stop can
cause the vehicle to skid or lose steering con­
trol.
68 Hold
assist
Applies to vehicles: with hold assist
Fig. 75 Section of centre console: Button for hold assist
The hold assist helps the driver if the vehicle is
stationary for a long period or very often, for in­
stance at traffic lights, on steep gradients or in
stop-and-go traffic.
Switching on the hold assist
Important: The driver's door must be closed, the
driver's seat belt buckled and the engine running.
� Press the button q Fig. 75 in the centre console
to switch on the hold assist function. The LED
in the button will light up.
Stopping with the hold assist
� Once it detects that the vehicle has stopped,
the hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary. You
can now take your foot off the brake pedal.
� Drive off in the normal way: the brake will be
released automatically and the vehicle will start
moving.
Switching off the hold assist
� Press the button to switch off the hold assist
function. The LED in the button will go out.
In certain situations, the hold assist transfers the
job of holding the vehicle to the parking brake. As
soon as the parking brake is holding the vehicle
still, the warning Lamp. appears in the instru­
ment cluster.

function is switched on, it stops the vehicle
from creeping forwards when you take your
foot off the brake pedal.
- In certain situations, the hold assist cannot
hold the vehicle. The LED in the button will
go out.
Hill hold assist
Applies to vehicles: with hill hold assist
The hill hold assist function makes it easier to
drive away on a slope.
Important: The driver's door must be closed, the
seat belt buckled and the engine running.
The system is activated when you press and hold
the brake pedal for a few seconds.
When you release the brake pedal the braking
force will be maintained for a moment in order to
hold the vehicle and make it easier for you to
drive away.
A WARNING
- The intelligent technology in the hill hold
assist function cannot defy the laws of phys­
ics. Do not let the extra convenience affor­
ded by the hill hold assist function tempt
you into taking any risks when driving -this
can cause accidents. Driving
- The hill hold assist function cannot keep the
vehicle stationary in all conditions on a gra­
dient (e.g. if the road is slippery or icy).
-If you do not drive away immediately after
releasing the brake pedal the vehicle could
start to roll back. You should therefore im­
mediately press the brake pedal or apply the
parking brake.
- If the engine should stall you must immedi­
ately press the brake pedal or apply the
parking brake.
- If you are driving away on a slope in stop­
and-go traffic press and hold the brake ped­
al for a few seconds before driving off. This
will prevent the vehicle from rolling back
unintentionally.
