Intelligent Technology
-Press the accelerator pedal carefully when
accelerating on even, slippery surfaces such
as ice and snow. The drive wheels can spin
even when these control systems are instal­
led and this can affect driving stability and
increase the risk of a collision.
{D) Tips
-The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a similar wear

condition. Different tire sizes can lead to a
reduction in engine power.
- You may hear noises when the systems de­
scribed are working .

The following examples are unusual situations
where it may make sense to switch offroad mode
on to allow the wheels to spin:
- Rocking the vehicle to free it when it is stuck
- Driving in deep snow or on loose ground
- Driv ing on rough terrain when much of the car's
we ight is lifted off the wheels (axle artic ula­
tion)
- Dr iv ing downh ill wh ile braking on loose g round
The ESC is designed to function in levels. Depend­
ing on the level selected, the ESC stabilization
function is limited or switched off . The amount of
stabilization control wi ll differ depending on the
level. For your safety, sw
itch the offroad mode off in
advance.

A WARNING
You should only switch offroad mode on or
switch ESC/ ASR off if your driving abilities
and the traffic conditions perm it. There is a
risk of s lid ing .
- The stabilization function is limited when
offroad mode is switched on . The driving
wheels could spin and the vehicle could
swerve, especially on slick or s lippery road
surfaces.
- There is no vehicle stabilization when ESC/
ASR are switched off.
Hill descent assist
Appl ies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
Hill descent assist makes it possible to drive
down a hill at a constant speed.

• To switch the hill descent assist on, press the
~ button in the center console c} fig. 97. The
LED in the button turns on.
• Press the button again to switch it off. The LED
in the button turns off .
Hill descent assist brakes all four whee ls auto ­
matically in order to limit speed when driving ei­
ther forward or reverse on hills with a grade up to
approximately 50% .
When hill descent assist is on, the speed your ve­ hicle was traveling when it entered the hill is
maintained . It is only possible to switch on the
assist when driving slower than 37 mph (60 km/
h). The assist begins shortly after you start driv-
e '.:: ing and continues up to approximate ly 19 mph

the vehicle speed within these limits by pressing
the accelerator or brake pedal.
However, there must be enough tract ion. Hill de­
scent assist
cannot function as expected, if for
example the hill is icy or if the surface is loose
¢,&. .
A blinking indicato r light. in the instrument
cluster will indicate if the system if actively regu­
lating a specific speed up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h). The indicator light stays on
continuously when in the ready mode.
The system does not work at speeds between 19
and 37 mph (30 and 60 km/h) . The system is
then in ready-mode . This is indicated by the LED
in the button turning on. The system automat i­
cally switched off when you drive faster than 37
mph (60 km/h) . The LED will also turn off in this
scenario .
Hill descent assist is automatically activated un­
der the following conditions:
- the LED in the button turns on
- the vehicle speed is lowe r than 19 mph (30 km/
h)
- the incline angle is at least around 10%
A WARNING
-
-Always adapt your speed to the weather,
road and traffic conditions. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks, because this increases the risk
of an accident.
- The hill descent assist system cannot over­
come the laws of physics. Your driving style
must always be adapted to the current road
and traffic conditions .
- Hill descent ass ist may not be able to hold
your vehicle at a constant speed under all
conditions while dr iving on a hill (for exam ­
p le if ground under the vehicle is loose).
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km) . They
must be "broken in" first . However, you can
