Fu nctions of ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sy stem)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
RDuring braking, e.g. at maximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tires,
th e wheels are pr evented from blocking.
RVehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving. Sy
stem limitations
RABS is active from speeds of appr ox. 5 mph
(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if a

Fu nctions of ESP®Crosswind Assist
ESP®Crosswind Assist de tects sudden gust s of
side wind and helps the driver tokeep theve hi‐
cle in the lane:
RESP®Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle
speeds between 50 mph(8 0 km/h) and
12 5mp h(2 00 km/h) when driving stra ight
ahead or cornering slightly .
RThevehicle is stabilized bymeans of individ‐
ual brake application on one side.

RMonitoring and regulating the brake pressure
on there ar wheels.
RImpr oved driving stability when braking,
especially on bends.

Function of Active Brake Assi st
Active Brake Assi stconsist s of:
RDistance warning function
RAu tonomous braking function
RSituation-dependent braking assist ance
RVehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: Evasi veSteering Assist
Ac tive Brake Assi stcan help youto minimize the
ri sk of a collision with vehicles or pedestrians or
to reduce the ef fects of such a collision.
If Ac tive Brake Assi sthas de tected a risk of colli‐
sion, youwill be warned visually and acousti‐
cally.
If yo udo not react tothe visual and audible colli‐
sion warning, autonomous braking can be initi‐
ated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake
Assi stcan initiate autonomous braking direct ly.
In this case, the visual and acoustic warning
occurs simultaneously with the braking applica‐
tion. If
yo u apply the brake yourself ina critical situa‐
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak‐
ing, situation-dependent braking assis tance
occurs . This increases the brake pressure up to
maximum full-s top braking if necessar y.
If th e autonomous braking function or the situa‐
tion-dependent braking assis tance is trig gered,
additional pr eventive measures for occupant
pr otection (PRE-SAFE
®) may also be initiated, if
th eve hicle is equipped with these.

WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited de tection per form ance of Active
Brake Assi st
Ac tive Brake Assi stcannot al ways clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa‐
tions.
In such cases,Active Brake Assi stmight:
RGive a warning or brake without reason
RNot give a warning or not brake
00BBAlw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation; do not rely on Active Brake
Assi stalone. Active Brake Assi stis only
an aid. The driver is responsible for
maintaining a sui table dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front, vehicle speed and for
braking in good time.
00BBBe prepared tobrake or swer veif nec‐
essar y.
Also obser vethe sy stem limitations of Active
Brake Assi st.
The individual subfunctions are available in
th efo llowing speed ranges:
Distance warning function
The dis tance warning function issues a warning
at speeds:
RFr om appr oximately 4 mph (7 km/h), if your
ve hicle is critically close toave hicle or
pedestrian. An intermittent warning tone
sounds and the00BA distance warning lamp
lights up in the instrument clus ter.
Brake immediately or take evasive action, pr ovi‐
ded it is safe todo so and the traf fic situation

Evasive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traf fic situa‐
tions.
In addition, thesteering support of Evasive
St eering Assist is general lynot suff icientto
avo id a collision.
In such cases Evasive Steering Assist can:
Rgive an unnecessary warning or pr ovide

Rnot give awa rning or not pr ovide assis‐
ta nce
00BBAlw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation; do not rely on Ev asive
St eering Assist alone.
00BBBe ready tobrake and take evasive
action if necessar y.
00BBPreve ntthe assis tance byactively steer‐
ing in non-critical driving situations.
00BBDrive at an appropriate speed if pedes‐
trians are close tothe path of your vehi‐
cle.
Also obser vethe sy stem limitations of Evasive
St eering Assist.
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
RIn sno w,rain, fog, heavy spr ay, if there is

light conditions.
RIf th e sensors are dirty, mis ted up, damaged
or co vered.
RIfth e sensors malfunction due to otherradar

RIf a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire
has been de tected and displ ayed.
The sy stem may not react cor rectly:
RIn complex traffic situations whe reobjects
cannot always be clearly identified.
RTo pedestrians or vehicles if they mo ve
qu ickly into the sensor de tection range.
RTo pedestrians who are hidden by other
objects.
RIf th e typical outline of a pedestrian cannot
