146Driving and operatingTrajectory lane display (1)
Depending on version, the trajectory
lane (1) of the vehicle is shown in blue
on the Info-Display. It shows the path of the vehicle in accordance with the
steering angle.
Fixed lane display (2)
The fixed lane display (2) shows the
path of the vehicle if the wheels are
kept straight.
Guide lines (3, 4, 5) are used together
with the fixed lane display (2) and
indicate the distance behind the
vehicle.The guide line intervals are as
follows:3 (red):30 cm4 (yellow):70 cm5 (green):150 cmSettings
Settings, e.g. brightness, can be set
via the Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment system manual for
further information.
Deactivation
The camera is deactivated after a
delay if reverse gear is not engaged.
Fault
The rear view camera may not operate properly when:
● the surrounding is dark
● the sun or the beam of headlights
is shining directly into the camera lens
● ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the camera lens. Clean
the lens, rinse it with water, and
wipe it with a soft cloth
● the rear doors/tailgate are not closed correctly
● the vehicle had a rear-end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning system
uses a front camera to observe the
lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. The system detects
lane changes and warns the driver in
the event of an unintended lane
change via visual and acoustic
signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● no operation of turn and lane- change signals
● no active steering
If the driver is performing these
actions, no warning will be issued.
Driving and operating147Activation
The lane departure warning system isactivated by pressing ì on the
instrument panel or in the roof
console; LED in the button
extinguishes to indicate that the
system is switched on.
When control indicator ì 3 86
illuminates in the instrument cluster,
the system is ready to operate. A
corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 89.
Control indicator ì extinguishes
when the system is not ready to warn the driver.
The system is only operable at
vehicle speeds above approx.
37 mph and if lane markings are
available and detected.
If the turn and lane-change signals
are not operated when changing
lanes, i.e. an unintended lane change
is detected, control indicator ì
flashes together with a warning chime
to alert the driver.
Deactivation The system is deactivated by
pressing ì; LED in the button
illuminates. A corresponding
message also appears in the DIC.
At speeds below approx. 37 mph the
system is inoperable.
Operation hints The lane departure warning system
may not operate properly when:
● The windscreen is not clean.
● There are adverse environmental
conditions like heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.
The system cannot operate when no
lane marking is detected.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system, a warning message appears in the DIC
and the LED in the button illuminates.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Driving and operating151level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air
becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10%
for every 1000 metres of additional
altitude. The gross train weight does
not have to be reduced when driving
on roads with slight inclines (less than
8%, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is
specified on the identification plate
3 199.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load is specified on the
towing equipment identification plate
and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially
in the case of heavy trailers. The
vertical coupling load should never
fall below 25 kg.In the case of trailer loads of
1200 kg or more, the vertical coupling load should not be less than 50 kg.
Rear axle load
When the trailer is coupled and the
towing vehicle fully loaded (including
all occupants), the permissible rear
axle load (see identification plate or
vehicle documents) must not be
exceeded.
Towing equipmentCaution
When operating without a trailer,
remove the coupling ball bar.
Towing equipment audible
warning
For vehicles fitted with towing
equipment, when connected to a
trailer the pitch of the audible warning
changes upon operation of the turn
signals.
The pitch of the audible warning will
change if a turn signal light on the
trailer or the towing vehicle fails.
Trailer stability assist
If the system detects snaking
movements, engine power is reduced
and the vehicle/trailer combination is
selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While the system is working,keep steering wheel as still as
possible.
Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) 3 137.
