gfunction .COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIS TPLUS can help you to minimiz ethe
risk of afront-end collision with avehicle
ahead or reduce the effects of such a
collision. If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
PLUS detects that ther eisarisk ofacollision,
you will be warned visually and acoustically.
In critical situations COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIST PLUS also initiates automatic
braking.
Function
X To activate/deactivate: activate or
deactivate COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIST PLUS in the on-board computer
(Y page 201).
If COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS is
deactivated, the 0002symbol appears in the
assistance graphics display.
If the driver's seat belt is fastened,
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS can
brake automaticallyw ithinaspeed range of
between 4mph (7 km/h) and 124 mph
(200 km/h).
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIS TPLUS can
also react to stationary obstacle swith
automatic braking within aspeed range of
betwee n4mph (7 km/h) and 19 mph
(30 km/h).
In particular, the detection of obstacle scan
be impaired if:
R dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors
R snow or heavy rain
R interference by other radars ources
R there are strongr adar reflections, for
example in parking garages
R an arrow vehicle traveling in front,e .g. a
motorbike
R av ehicle traveling in front on adifferent line
relative to the center of your vehicle
Following damage to the front end of the
vehicle, have the configuration and operation
of the radar sensor checked at aqualified
specialist workshop. This also applies to collisions at low speeds where there is no
visible damage to the front of the vehicle. Adaptive brake lights
Adaptive Brake Assist warns following traffic
in an emergenc ybraking situation:
R by means of flashing brake lamps
R by activatin gthe hazard warning lamps
If you brake sharply from aspeed of more
than 70 km/ht oastandstill, the hazard
warning lamps are activated automatically. If
the brakes are applied again, the brake lamps
light up continuously. The hazard warning
lamps switch off automatically if you travel
faster than 10 km/h. You can also switchoff
the hazar dwarnin glamps using the hazard
warnin gbutton (Y page 107). ESP

(Electronic Stability Program)
General notes i
Observe the "Importan tsafet ynotes"
sectio n(Ypage 63).
ESP ®
monitors drivin gstability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tires and
the road surface.
If ESP ®
detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilize the
vehicle. The engin eoutput is also modified to
keep the vehicle on the desired course within
physical limits. ESP ®
assists the driver when
pulling away on wet or slippery roads. ESP ®
can also stabilize the vehicle during braking.
ETS (Electronic Traction System) i
Observ ethe "Important safety notes"
section (Y page 63).
ETS traction contro lispart of ESP ®
.
ETS brakes the drive wheels individually if
they spin. This enables you to pull away and
accelerate on slippery surfaces ,for example Driving safet
