STARTING AND DRIVING
408
Emergency brake lightsEmergency brake lights are activated to alert vehicles behind about heavy braking. The func-tion means that the brake light flashes instead of- as in normal braking - shining with a constantglow.
The emergency brake lights are activated during heavy braking or if the ABS system is activated athigh speeds. After emergency braking to a lowspeed, the brake lights return from flashing to thenormal constant glow. The car's hazard warningflashers are activated at the same time. Theseflash until the driver accelerates the car to ahigher speed again or switches off the hazardwarning flashers.

Brake assistance
The brake assist system, BAS (Brake Assist System), helps to increase brake force duringbraking, thereby shortening the braking distance.
The system detects the way in which the driver brakes and increases brake force where neces-sary. The brake force can be boosted up to thelevel when the ABS system is engaged. Thefunction is suspended when the pressure on thebrake pedal decreases.
NOTE
When BAS is activated the brake pedal low- ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)the brake pedal as long as necessary. When the brake pedal is released, all braking ceases.

Auto braking after a collision In the event of a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seatbelt ten-sioners or airbags, or if a collision with a largeanimal is detected, the car's brakes are automat-ically applied. This function is to prevent orreduce the effects of any subsequent collision.
After a serious collision there is a risk that it is no longer possible to control and steer the car. Inorder to avoid or mitigate a possible further colli-sion with a vehicle or an object in the vehicle'spath, the auto braking system is activated auto-matically and brakes the car in a safe manner. Brake lights and hazard warning lights are acti- vated during braking. When the car has stopped,the hazard warning lights continue to flash andthe parking brake is applied. If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by following traffic, the system can beoverridden by the driver depressing the accelera-tor pedal. The function assumes that the brake system is intact after the collision. See also the sections "Rear Collision Warning" and "Blind Spot Information".

431
The towing eye may be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform.The car's position and ground clearance deter-mine whether it is possible. If the slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearance under the car isinadequate, then the car may be damaged if youtry to pull it up using the towing eye. If necessary, raise the car by using the recovery vehicle's lifting device. Do not use the towing eye.
WARNING
No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled uponto the flatbed platform.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads -
not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

Towing
During towing, one vehicle pulls another vehicle along behind it by means of a towline.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before the towing begins.
Preparations and towing1. Activate the car's hazard warning flashers.
2. Secure the towline in the towing eye.
3. Deactivate the steering lock by unlocking the car.
NOTE
In ignition position II the steering lock is
deactivated if the car has been unlocked. See section “Ignition position” for more informa-tion.
4. Set the car in ignition position II by turning
the ignition dial to START and holding the
ignition dial in the START position for
approx. 4 seconds. Then release the knob, which automatically returns to its startingposition.
5. Move the gear selector to neutral position N
and release the parking brake.
> The towing vehicle can now start towing. 6. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi-
cle reduces speed by holding your foot gen- tly pressed on the brake pedal - therebyavoiding unnecessary jerking.
7. Be prepared to brake to stop.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward. • Do not tow cars with automatic transmis- sion at speeds higher than 80 km/h(50 mph) or for distances in excess of 80km.
WARNING
•Check that the steering lock is unlocked before towing.
• Ignition position
II must be active - in
ignition position I all airbags are deacti-
vated.
• Always keep the remote control key in thecar when it is being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off - thebrake pedal needs to be depressedabout 5 times more heavily and the steering isconsiderably heavier than normal.
