Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
11-In an emergency, pull the switch @c:> page 85,
fig. 100
and continue to pull it to slow your ve­
hicle down with the parking brake.
11-As soon as you release the switch @ or acceler-
ate, the braking process stops.
If you pull the switch @and hold it above a
speed of about
5 mph (8 km/h), the emergency
braking function is initiated. The vehicle is braked
at all four wheels by activating the hydraulic
brake system. The brake performance is similar
to making an eme rgency stop c:>
.&..
In order not to activate the emergency braking by
mistake, an audible warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when the switch @ is pulled. As soon as
the switch @is released, or the accelerator pedal
is depressed, emergency braking stops.
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal foot brake has
failed or the brake pedal is obstructed. Using the parking brake to perform emergency
braking will slow your vehicle down as if you
had made a full brake application. The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associated components (ABS, ASR,
EDS). In corners and when road or weather
conditions are bad, a full brake application
can cause the vehicle to skid or the rear end to
break away- risking an accident.
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns if the driver ex­
ceeds a previously stored maximum speed. A
;:; warning tone will sound as soon as the vehicle
0 ~ speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph
~ (3 km/h). At the same time, a warning symbol Lil ,...., v:, ,....,
Driving
appears in the display. The symbol's appearance
might be different in some models.
The speed warning system has one or two* warn­
ing thresholds that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum
speed while you are driving. This setting will re­
main in effect until you turn off the ignition, as­
suming that you have not changed or reset the
setting .
The. (USA models) /. (Canada models)
speed wa rning symbol in the warning 1 display
appears when you exceed the maximum speed .
It
goes out when the speed falls below the stored
maximum speed.
The speed warning symbol will also go out if the
speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed by
more than about 2S mph
(40 km/h) for at least
10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is delet­
ed.
Setting speed warning 1 c:>
page 88.
Speed warning 2*
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always
want to be reminded of a certain speed, for ex­
ample when you are traveling in a country that
has a general maximum speed limit, or if you do
not want to exceed a specified speed for winter
tires.
The. (USA models) /. (Canada models)
speed warning 2 symbol appears in the display
when you exceed the stored speed limit. Unlike
warning 1, it will not go out until the vehicle
speed drops below the stored speed limit.
Setting speed warning 2
c:>page 88.
(D Tips
Even though your vehicle is equipped with a
speed warning system, you should still watch
the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed limit.
