Driving and driving saf ety sy stems
Driving sy stems and your responsibility
Yo ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist youin drivin g, parking and maneu‐
ve ring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are tools
and do not relie ve you of your responsibility. Pay
attention tothe tra ffic conditions at all times and inter
vene when necessary . Beaware of the
limitations rega rding the safe use of these sys‐
te ms.
Fu nction of thera dar senso rs
Some driving and driving safe ty systems use
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area in front of,
behind or next totheve hicle (depending on the
ve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind thera diator grille. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush (
→page 336).
The sensors must not be co vered, forex ample
by bicycle rack s, ove rhanging loads or radar-
re flecting sticke rs.Fo llowing an impact and in
th eeve nt of associated damage , which may not
be visible, tothe bumpers or radiator grille, ha ve
th e function of thera dar sensors checked at a
qu alified specialist workshop. The driver assis‐
ta nce sy stem may no longer workproperly.

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, youwill 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
malfunction has occur red and theye l‐

Fu nction of BAS (Brake Assist Sy stem)
&
WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys‐
te m)
If BA S is malfunctioning, the braking dis tance
in an eme rgency braking situation is
increased.
#Depress the brake pedal with full forc e
in emer gency braking situations. ABS
pr eve nts the wheels from locking.
BA S suppo rts yo ur eme rgency braking situation
with additional brake forc e.
If yo u depress the brake pedal quickl y,BA S is
acti vated:
RBA S au tomatical lyboosts the brake pres‐
sure.
RBA S can short enthe braking dis tance.
RABS pr events the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you
re lease the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
Functions of ESP®(Electronic Stability Pro‐
gr am)
&
WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP®is
malfunctioning
If ESP
®is malfunctioning, ESP®cannot car ry
out vehicle stabilization. In addition, other
driving saf etysy stems are switched off.

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 (80 km/h) and 12
5mp h (200 km/h) when driving stra ight
ahead or cornering slightly.
RThe vehicle is stabilized bymeans of individ‐
ual brake application on one side.
Fu nction of EBD (Electronic Brake forc e Dis‐
tribution)
EBD is characterized bythefo llowing:
RMonitoring and regulating the brake pressure
on there ar wheels.
RImpr oved driving stability when braking,
especially on bends.

IfAc 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 or acoustic warn‐
ing, autonomous braking can be initiated in criti‐
cal 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 uappl yth e brake yourself ina critical situa‐
tion or applyth e 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 measure sfo r 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 clear ly
identify objects and complex traf fic situa‐
tions.
In such cases,Active Brake Assi stmight:
RGive a warning or brake without reason
RNo t give a warning or not brake
#Alw 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.
#Be 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 the· 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
