128Driving and operatingbe displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 90. Seek the assistance of
a workshop to have the fault remedied.
The Hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 116.Ride control systems
Traction Control system The Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR) is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC).
ASR improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
ASR is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
R extinguishes.
When ASR operates, R flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Control indicator R 3 85.
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESC is operational after each engine
start as soon as control indicator R
extinguishes.
When ESC operates, R flashes.
The ESC system is automatically
activated when the vehicle is started
and cannot be deactivated.

systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds above approx.
30 km/h. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.
Activating in first gear is not possible.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.

● the brake pedal is depressed
● the clutch pedal is depressed
● the traction control system/Anti- Slip Regulator (ASR) or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
is operating
● the antilock brake system (ABS) is operating
Resume stored speed
Press = at a speed above 30 km/h.
The stored speed will be obtained.Switching off
Turn end of lever to the OFF position;
control indicator m extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted. Switching off the ignition also deletes the stored
speed.
Parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the parking assist system.
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles,
and giving acoustic signals.

132Driving and operating
The system consists of four ultrasonicparking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
The parking assist is turned on
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The intervals between the beeps
become shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the beeping is a continuous tone which
stops immediately when the distance
is increased.
Deactivation
The parking assist automatically
switches off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r 3 85 illuminates in the instrument
cluster.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Parking help unavailable , may
also be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre 3 90.
The following conditions could affect
the system's performance:
● The ultrasonic sensors are not clean. Keep the bumper free ofmud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
● The sensors are covered by frost
or ice.
● The rear doors / tailgate are open.
● An object was hanging out of the
rear doors / tailgate during the
last drive cycle. Once the object
has been removed, the parking
assist will return to normal
operation.
● An object or cover is attached to the rear of the vehicle.
● The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle to a workshop to
repair the system.
● Other conditions, such as vibrations from a jackhammer,
are affecting system
performance.
In the event the system still does not
work properly, seek the assistance of
a workshop.

Driving and operating133A warning chime is also sounded
briefly if a fault is present when
reverse gear is engaged 3 95.
Note
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 90.
Important hints for using the
parking assist systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper. If
such obstacles leave the detection area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.
Caution
Performance of the sensor can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
systems can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not avoid a
collision with objects which are out
of the detection range of the
sensors.
Note
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
The sensor may detect a non-
existent object (echo disturbance)
caused by external acoustic or
mechanical disturbances.
