146Driving and operatingControl indicator R 3 96.
Vehicle messages 3 101.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting-off, the system performs
a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 97.
Fault
If control indicator u does not go out
a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, or if it illuminates whiledriving, there is a fault in the ABS.
Control indicator F 3 96 may also
illuminate in the instrument cluster
together with a corresponding
message in the Driver Information
Centre. The brake system remains operational but without ABS
regulation.9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
If control indicators u, F , R 3 96
and C 3 96 illuminate, there is a fault
in the braking system. A
corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 100. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 101.
Parking brake9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal at the same time.

150Driving and operatingEngine Drag Torque Control
The engine drag torque control
system is an integral feature of
ESP® Plus
. When downshifting under
slippery road conditions, the engine speed and torque increases to help
prevent locking of the drive wheels
during sudden deceleration.
Fault
If the system detects a fault, control indicator b 3 97 illuminates together
with F 3 96 in the instrument cluster
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 100.
The Electronic stability program
(ESP® Plus
) is not operational. Have
the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 101.Driver assistance

developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of 20 mph and
above. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.
For safety reasons, the cruise control cannot be activated until the brake
pedal has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
Control indicators U and m 3 100.

switch on ignition. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.
To open the fuel filler cap, turn
anticlockwise.
The fuel filler cap can be retained in
the bracket on the fuel filler flap.
For refuelling, fully insert the pump
nozzle and switch it on.
After automatic cut-off, it can be
topped up by operating the pump
nozzle a maximum of two more times.Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
When refuelling is complete, replace
the fuel filler cap and turn clockwise
as far as it will go.
Close the fuel filler flap.
