Function ofthe 4MATIC
4MATIC ensuresthat allfour wheels are driven
when needed.Together with ESP®and 4ETS,4MATIC improvesthe traction ofyourvehiclewhenever a driven wheel spins duetoinsuffi‐cient traction.
Ifyoufailtoadaptyour drivingstyle, 4MATIC canneitherreducetherisk of an accident norover‐ridethe lawsof physics. 4MATIC cannottakeaccount ofroad,weather and traffic conditions.4MATIC is only an aid.You areresponsible espe‐ciallyfor maintaining a safe distance fromthevehicle in front,forvehicle speed,for braking ingood time andforstaying in lane.
In wintryroad conditions,the maximumeffect of 4MATIC can be achieved only ifyou
use winter tires (M+S tires), with snowchains if necessary.

System limitations
Parking AssistPARKTRONIC does not necessa‐rilytakeinto accountthefollowing obstacles:
RObstacles below the detectionrange, e.g.persons, animals or objects.
RObstacles abovethe detectionrange, e.g.overhanging loads,overhangs or loadingramps of trucks.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.Otherwise,theymay not function correctly.Cleanthe sensorsregularly,taking care nottoscratch or damagethem.
Function ofthe passive side impact protec‐tionPassive side impact protection is an additionalParking AssistPARKTRONIC function whichwarnsthe driver about obstacles atthe side ofthevehicle. Awarning is issued when obstaclesare detected betweenthe front andrear detec‐tionrange. In orderfor an object onthe sidetobe detected,the sensors inthe front andrearbumper mustfirst detectthe object whileyouare driving past it.
Duringthe parking procedure or maneuvering,objects are detected asthevehicle drives past.Ifyousteer inthe direction of a detected obsta‐cle andthere is arisk of a lateral collision, awarning is issued. The segments onthe sides
