Function of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABSregulatesthe brake pressure in critical driv‐ing situations:
RDuring braking, e.g. at full brake applicationor insufficient tire traction,the wheels areprevented from locking.
RVehiclesteerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking,you willfeel apulsing inthe brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardousroadconditions and can serveas aremindertotakeextra care while driving.
System limitationsRABS is active from speeds of approx. 5mph(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if amalfunction has occurred andtheyel‐low%ABSwarning lamp lights up contin‐uously inthe instrument cluster aftertheengine isstarted.
Function ofBAS (Brake Assist System)
\nWARNINGRisk of an accident causedbya malfunction inBAS (Brake AssistSys‐tem)
IfBAS is malfunctioning,the braking distancein an emergency braking situation isincreased.
Depressthe brake pedal with fullforcein emergency braking situations. ABSpreventsthe wheels from locking.
16 6Driving and parking

BAS supportsyour emergency braking situationwith additional brakeforce.
Ifyou depressthe brake pedalquickly,BAS isactivated:
RBAS automaticallybooststhe brake pres‐sure.
RBAS can shortenthe braking distance.
RABS preventsthe wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual onceyoureleasethe brake pedal.BAS is deactivated.
Function of ESP®(ElectronicStability Pro‐gram)
\nWARNINGRisk of skidding if ESP®ismalfunctioning
If ESP®is malfunctioning, ESP®cannot carryoutvehiclestabilization. In addition,otherdriving safety systems are switched off.
Drive on carefully.
HaveESP®checked at aqualified spe‐cialistworkshop.
\nWARNINGRisk of skidding if ESP®isdeactivated
Ifyou deactivate ESP®, ESP®cannot carryoutvehiclestabilization.
ESP®should onlybe deactivated inthefollowing situations.
Mercedes‑AMGvehicles:always observethenotes inthe Supplement. Otherwise,you mayfailtorecognize dangers.
ESP®can monitor and improvedrivingstabilityand traction inthefollowing situations, withinphysical limits:
RWhen pullingawayon awet or slipperyroad‐way.
RWhen braking.
RInstrong side winds whenyou are drivingfasterthan 50mph (80 km/h).
Ifthevehicle deviates fromthe direction desired
bythe driver, ESP®canstabilizethevehiclebyintervening inthefollowingways:
ROne or more wheels are braked.
RThe engine output is adapted accordingtothe situation.
ESP®is deactivated ifthe

ROnly depressthe accelerator pedal asfar asis necessary.
Deactivate ESP®inthefollowing situationstoimprove traction:
RWhen using snowchains.
RIn deep snow.
ROn sand or gravel.
Spinningthe wheelsresults in a cuttingaction, which enhances traction.
Ifthe

doing so,you will make use ofthe engine's brak‐ing effect. Thisrelievesthe load onthe brakesystem and preventsthe brakes fromoverheat‐ing andwearingtooquickly.
Do not use cruise control inthefollowing situa‐tions:
RIn traffic situations whichrequire frequentchanges of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, onwindingroads.
ROn slipperyroads.Accelerating can causethe drive wheelstolose traction andthevehicle couldthen skid.
RIfyou are driving when visibility is poor.
Operating cruise control
\nWARNINGRisk of accident duetostoredspeed
Ifyou call upthestored speed andthis islowerthanyour current speed,thevehicledecelerates.
Takeinto accountthe traffic situationbefore calling upthestored speed.
Requirements:RESP®must be activated, but not intervening.
RThe driven speed is at least15mph(20 km/h).
RThe transmission is in position[.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
Function ofActive Distance AssistDISTRONIC
Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC maintainstheset speed on free-flowingroads. Ifvehicles infront are detected,the set distance is main‐tained, if necessary,untilthevehicle comesto ahalt. Thevehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐ing onthe distancetothevehicle in front andthe set speed. The speed and distancetothevehicle in front are set and saved onthesteeringwheel onvehicles withoutthe Driving AssistancePackage, intherange between15mph(20 km/h) and120mph (200 km/h) and, on
vehicles withthe Driving AssistancePackage, intherange between15mph (20 km/h) and130mph (210km/h).
Otherfeatures ofActive Distance AssistDISTRONIC:
RAdjuststhe drivingstyle depending ontheselected drive program (fuel-saving, comfort‐able or dynamic) (→page148)
RVehicles with Driving AssistancePack‐age:reactstostationaryvehicles detected inurban speedranges (except bicycles andmotorcycles).
RInitiates accelerationtothestored speed ifthe turn signal indicator is switched ontochangetotheovertaking lane.

turally separateroadwaysbyActive DistanceAssistDISTRONIC, it can automaticallyfollowthevehicle in front driving off again within30 seconds. If a critical situation is detectedwhen driving off, a visual and acousticwarning isgiven indicatingthatthe driver must nowtakecontrol ofthevehicle. Thevehicle is not acceler‐ated any further.
Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC is only an aid.The driver isresponsibleforkeeping a safe dis‐tancetothevehicle in front,forvehicle speedandfor braking in good time.
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not functioninthefollowing instances:
RIn snow,rain,fog, heavy spray, ifthere isglare, in direct sunlight or in greatlyvaryingambient light.
RThe windshield inthe area ofthe camera isdirty,fogged up, damaged or covered.
RIftheradar sensors are dirty or covered.
RIn parkinggarages or onroads withsteepuphill or downhill gradients.
RIfthere are narrowvehicles in front, such asbicycles or motorcycles.
In addition, on slipperyroads, braking or accel‐erating can cause one or several wheelstolosetraction andthevehicle couldthen skid.
Do not useActive Distance AssistDISTRONIC inthese situations.
\nWARNINGRisk of accident from acceler‐ation or brakingbyActive DistanceAssistDISTRONIC
Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC may accel‐erate or brake inthefollowing cases,forexample:
RIfthevehicle pullsawayusingActive Dis‐tance AssistDISTRONIC.
RIfthestored speed is called up and isconsiderablyfaster or slowerthanthecurrently driven speed.
RIfActive Distance AssistDISTRONIC nolonger detects avehicle in front or doesnotreacttorelevant objects.
Always carefully observethe traffic con‐ditions and bereadytobrake at alltimes.
Takeinto accountthe traffic situationbefore calling upthestored speed.
\nWARNINGRisk of accident duetoinsuf‐ficient decelerationbyActive DistanceAssistDISTRONIC
Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC brakesyourvehicle with upto50% ofthe maximumpossible deceleration. Ifthis deceleration isnot sufficient,Active Distance AssistDISTRONIC alertsyou with a visual andacousticwarning.
Inthese cases, adjustyour speed andkeep a sufficient distance.
