WARNING■Ignoring illuminated indicator lights and related messages or instructions
in the instrument cluster display may lead to serious personal injury or
damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard
warning lights system » page 63. Place the warning triangle at the pre-
scribed distance.
■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. While working in
the engine compartment, be sure to observe the following warnings
» page 149 , Engine compartment .
 Handbrake
Read and observe
on page 32 first.
 illuminates - the hand brake is applied.
An acoustic signal will sound if you drive the vehicle above 5 km/h while the
handbrake is still on.
Release the handbrake!RELEASE HANDBRAKE
 Brake system
Read and observe
on page 32 first.
 illuminates - the brake fluid level in the braking system is too low.
Brake fluid: Owner's Manual!BRAKE FLUID PLEASE CHECK›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake fluid
» page 156 .
WARNING■
If warning light  illuminates simultaneously with warning light 
» page 33 ,  Anti-lock braking system (ABS) ,  do not continue your
journey! Seek help from a specialist garage.■
A fault to the ABS system or the braking system can increase the vehi-
cle's braking distance – there is a risk of an accident occurring!
 Seat belt warning light
Read and observe
on page 32 first.
 illuminates - the driver or front passenger has not fastened the seat belt.
At a speed of more than approximately 30 km/h the warning light 
flashes
and an audible warning sounds at a time.
If the seat belt is not fastened by the driver or front passenger during the next
approx. 2 seconds, the warning signal is deactivated and the warning light 
lights up permanently.
  Power Steering/steering lock (engine start using push-
button)
Read and observe
on page 32 first.
Fault in the power steering
 illuminates - this indicates a complete failure of the power steering and the
steering assist has failed (significantly higher steering forces).
 illuminates - this indicates a partial failure of the power steering and the
steering forces can be greater.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Steering lock defective (engine start push-button)
An audible signal sounds as a warning.

longer possible to lock the steering, to activate the electrical components (e.g.
Infotainment etc.), to switch on the ignition again and to start the engine. Seek
help from a specialist garage.

32Operation

Electronic differential lock (EDL and XDS)Read and observe
on page 115 first.
EDL
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
EDL switches off automatically to avoid excessive heat generation on the
brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down, there is
an automatic re-activation of EDL.
XDS
XDL is an extension to the electronic differential lock. XDL does not respond to
traction, but to the load relief of the inner front wheel of the driving axle dur-
ing fast cornering.
The automatic brake intervention on the brake of the wheel with reduced load
prevents the wheel from spinning. Thus, the traction is improved and the vehi-
cle can continue to follow the desired track.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 115 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.The HBA is activated by very rapid depression of the brake pedal. To achieve
the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be applied firmly
until the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
HBA is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 115 first.
HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator ped-al without having to use the handbrake when pulling away on a gradient.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake
pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
HHC is active on slopes of >5 % when the driver door is closed. HHC is always
only active on slopes pulling away forwards or in reverse.
Multi collision brake (MCB)
Read and observe
on page 115 first.
The MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision through automatic brakinginterventions and to stabilize the vehicle. This reduces the risk of a subse-
quent crash due to uncontrolled vehicle movement.
The automatic brake interventions can take place only if the following condi-
tions are met.
There was a front, side and rear-end collision of a certain severity.
The impact speed was higher than approx. 10 km/h.
The brakes, the ESL and other required electrical systems remain function-
al after impact.
The accelerator pedal is not actuated.
Parking assistance (ParkPilot)

The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as "system") draws attention to obsta-
cles in the vicinity of the vehicle via acoustic signals or on the Infotainment
display when manoeuvring.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 114, in section Introduction .■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors. 
116Driving

NoteThe signal tones for front obstacle recognition are factory-set to be higher
than for rear obstacle recognition.

System key (option 2)
Read and observe and on page 116 first.
Activation
The activation of the system is initiated when the reverse gear is engaged, or
vehicles with the Variant 2, also by pressing the symbol key
» Fig. 136
.
This is confirmed by a short acoustic signal (the symbol  in the button lights
up).
Deactivation
On vehicles with Version 1, the system can be deactivated by moving out of re-
verse gear.
For vehicles with Version 2, the system is deactivated by pressing the symbol
button or automatically at a speed over 10 km/h (the symbol
 in the but-
ton goes out).
Displaying an error
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
also indicated by the symbol  flashing in the button. Seek help from a spe-
cialist garage.
Note
The system can only be activated with the symbol key  at a speed of below
approx. 10 km / hr.118Driving
