Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The hill descent assistant (hereinafter referred to as assist system), with its
automatic braking action on all wheels, ensures a constant speed is main-
tained on a steep slope when driving forwards and reversing.
During an intervention, the white warning light 
in the instrument cluster
lights up.
The assist system is automatically engaged under the following conditions. The engine is running.
The OFF ROAD mode is enabled.
The slope is at least 10%.
Neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal is pressed.

Driving speed
Initiate the downhill descent at a reasonable speed of approx. 2 - 30 km / h,
the assist system constantly maintains this speed as you travel downhill.
If a forwards or reverse gear is engaged on vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion , the speed must be high enough to avoid “stalling the engine”.
The driving speed can be changed by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal.
Engagement of the assist system is resumed after the pedal is released. 
219Assist systems

WARNINGFor the correct operation of the assistant the road surface must be suffi-
ciently adherent. The assistant cannot properly fulfil its function on slushy
soil due to physical reasons (e.g. ice or mud). - there is a risk of an accident!
Note
When the wizard brakes the vehicle automatically, then the brake light does
not come on.
ESC OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The ESC OFF ROAD makes driving on dirt roads easier, as no ESC interventions
occur when the vehicle is slightly over or under steered.
TCS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The TCS OFF ROAD makes starting and driving on an unpaved surface easier as
it partially allows wheel-spin.
Note
When disabled, the TCS » page 217 OFF ROAD mode works without the sup-
port of the TCS OFF ROAD.
EDL OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The EDS OFF ROAD supports the driver when driving on a surface with differ-
ent grip under the drive wheels or when driving over bumps.
A spinning wheel or wheels are braked earlier and with more force than with
the intervention of the standard EDS system.
ABS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The ABS OFF ROAD supports the driver when braking on an unpaved surface
(e.g. gravel, snow etc.).
The system generated by a controlled locking of the wheels braked wheel be-
fore a “wedge” of piled material, which shortens the braking distance.
Maximum system efficiency is achieved when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position.

The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as system) uses acoustic signals or In-
fotainment screen when manoeuvring around obstacles in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. There is a danger that such ob-
jects or people may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors.
There is a danger that obstacles may not be detected by the system sen-
sors.
■
Before reversing, make sure that there are is not any small obstacle, such
as a rock, thin post etc., in front of or behind your vehicle. Such obstacles
may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■ Keep the system sensors » Fig. 268 on page 221 clean, snow-and ice-free
and do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system function-
ing may be impaired.■
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
high temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle”.
■
Accessories fitted to the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers, can impair the
system function.

The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is
reduced. At a distance of approx. 30 cm a continuous tone starts to sound -
danger area. Stop driving in the direction of the obstacle!
The acoustic signals can be set in Infotainment » page 221.

When towing, or when another accessory is connected to the trailer socket,
only the areas

Infotainment screen: Warning indicator / driving situation
Read and observe
and on page 224 first.
With the ignition switched on, the area next to and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the radar sensors of the system. If an approaching vehicle is detected
from the rear of the vehicle » Fig. 274, the system warns of this fact.
Warning - vehicles with parking aid
You will hear a continuous tone and one of the following warning levels ap-
pears on the Infotainment screen » Fig. 274.
An oncoming vehicle is detected. Do not continue driving backwards and
check around the vehicle.
A vehicle in the collision region is detected. Do not continue driving back-
wards .
Warning - vehicles without parking sensors
An acoustic signal is sounded and information for the driver to observe the
traffic behind is shown in the instrument cluster.
Automatic emergency braking
If the driver does not react to the warning and the system detects an impend-
ing collision, then this can trigger an automatic braking at a speed up to 10
km/h. A corresponding message is shown in the information cluster display.
ABWizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - Operation
Read and observe
and on page 224 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶ Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barriers,
noise barriers or similar objects.

no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.

bration of the steering wheel.

The rear view camera (following as system) helps the driver when parking and
manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle on Infotainment screen
(hereinafter only known as screen).
There are four modes available for different situations during the park and ma-
noeuvring action. The mode change is carried out using the function surfaces
on the screen » page 228.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The system detects obstacles. The display of the auxiliary boxes and lines
is independent of the actual vehicle environment. The driver must judge for
themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected parking
space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of accident. For information on
cleaning » page 271 .
CAUTION■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. For this reason, the
screen display is only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehi-
cles.■
Some items, such as thin posts, chain link fences, grilles or uneven road sur-
faces may not be properly displayed in terms of screen resolution.
■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.
Note
The camera is equipped with a cleaning system » page 75. The spraying is car-
ried out automatically when the rear window is sprayed.
