Intelligent Technology Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Elect ronic stabili zation control ( ESC) suppo rts
driver safety. It red uces the risk of slipping and
improves dr iving stabi lity. ESC detects crit ica l sit­
uations such as when the vehicle is overstee ring
and understeer ing or the wheels a re spinning.
The vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or
reducing eng ine torq ue. When t he ESC engages,
the
D.1 ind icator lig ht blinks in the ins trument
cluste r.
The fo llow ing systems are in tegrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS p reve nts the whee ls from lock ing whe n brak ­
ing. The vehicle can st ill be steered even d uring
hard brak ing. Apply steady press ure to the bra ke
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A puls ing in t he
b rake pedal indicates that the system is act ing to
s tabili ze the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease brak ing dis­
tance. It inc reases brak ing power when the d river
presses the brake pedal q uick ly in eme rgency sit­
uations . You must press and hold t he b rake pedal
until the dangerous si tuatio n is ove r. In veh icles
w ith adapt ive c ruise con trol*, the bra ke assist
sys te m is more sensitive if t he di stan ce detec ted
t o the veh icle dr iv ing a head is too small.
O n ve hicl es w ith ac tiva ted and funct io ni ng night
vision assist*, the b rake ass ist system ca n re­
spon d mo re sens it ively if there is a w arn ing.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR red uces eng ine power when the drive wheels
beg in sp inning a nd adap ts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to start, acceler­
ate and dr ive u p hill s.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that sta rts
sp inning and transfers the drive power to t he
142
othe r driving whee ls. This func tion is no t ava ila ­
ble at higher s peeds .
I n extre me cases , EDL au tomat ic al ly swi tches off
to keep t he b rake o n the br aked whee l from ove r­
h eating. The ve hicle is still wo rking co rrect ly. EDL
will switc h on agai n automatically when condi ­
tions have returned to normal.
Power steering
The ES C ca n also support veh icle st ability
t hr ough stee ring .
Selective wheel torque control
Selective w heel to rque con trol is used when d riv­
i ng on curves. Bra king is targeted towa rd t he
whee ls on the ins ide of the cu rve as needed . T his
a llows mo re pre cise dr iv ing in curves .
Automatic post -collision braking system
The "automat ic post -coll is io n braking system"
can hel p t o reduce the risk of sl iding and of addi­
tiona l co llisions after an acc iden t. If th e a irbag
c ontro l modu le de tects a collision, t he ve hicle is
bra ked by th e ESC.
The veh icle does not brake automatically if :
- the drive r presses t he acce lerator pedal, or
- the ESC, the brake system or the ve hicle elect ri-
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integ rated systems can not
overcom e the lim its impos ed by natura l
p hys ica l laws . Thi s is es pec ially impo rtan t
on s lippery or w et roa ds. If th e sys tems be­
g in a cting to s tabili ze y our v ehicle, you
s hould immedi ately alter your speed to
mat ch the ro ad and traffic condition s. D o
not let the i ncreased safety provide d tem pt
you into taking risks . This could increase
your r is k of a coll is io n.
- Please note the r is k of a col lision increases
w hen dr iv in g fast, especia lly t hrough c urves
a nd on s lippery or wet roa ds, an d when dr iv­
ing too close to objects ahead. The ESC and
its integrated sys tems ca nnot always pre­
v en t co llisions -there is st ill a risk of acc i­
dents!

Intelligent Technology
A WARNING
You should only switch offroad mode on or switch ESC/ ASR off if your driving abilities
and the traff ic conditions perm it. There is a
r isk of slid ing.
- The stabilization function is limited when
offroad mode is switched on. The dr iving
wheels co uld spin and the vehicle could
swerve, especially on slick or slippery road
surfaces.
- T here is no vehicle stab ilizat ion when ESC/
ASR are switched off.
Hill descent assist
Hill descent assist makes it possible to drive
down a hill at a constant speed.
Fig. 147 Center console: hill desce nt ass ist button
.. To switch hill descent assist on, press the !~ I
button. 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 wheels auto­
matically in order to limit speed when driving ei­
ther forward or reverse on hills with a grade from
approximately 6 to 60%. The wheels w ill not lock
up because the ABS remains activated.
When hill descent assist is on, the speed your ve­
hicle was traveling when it entered the hill is maintained. The assist begins shortly after you
start driv ing and continues up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) . The driver can increase or de­
crease the vehicle speed w ith in these limits by
pressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
However, there must be enough traction . Hill de­
scent assist
cannot function as expected, if for
144
example the hill is icy or if the surface is loose
~ .&. .
Active regulat ion of a speed up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) is signaled in the instrument
cluster by an indicator light •. T he indicator
light turns on when in the ready mode.
II.
The system does not work at speeds above ap­
prox imately 19 mph (30 km/h) . The system is
then in ready-mode . This is indicated by the LED
in the button turning on.
Hill descent assist is automatically activated un­
der the following conditions:
- the LED in the button turns on
- the vehicle speed is lower than 19 mph (30 km/
h)
-the hill angle is at least approximately 6%
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 phys ics. Your driving style
must always be adapted to the current road
and traffic cond itions .
- Hill descent assist may not be able to hold
your veh icle at a constant speed under all
conditions while driving on a hill (for exam­
ple 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 com­
pensate for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing f irmly on the brake pedal. Avo id heavy
braking during the break-in period.
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions .
This is especially true if you are driving frequently .,.
