System limitationsECO Assist can function more precisely iftheroute is maintained whenroute guidance isactive. The basic function is alsoavailable with‐out activeroute guidance.Notall informationand traffic situations can beforeseen. Thequal‐ity depends onthe map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver isresponsi‐bleforkeeping a safe distance fromthevehiclein front,forvehicle speed andfor braking ingood time. The driver must bereadytobrake atall times irrespective of whetherthe systemintervenes.
The system may be impaired or may not functioninthefollowing situations:
RIfthere is poor visibility, e.g. duetoinsuffi‐cient illumination oftheroad, highlyvariableshade conditions,rain, snow,fog or heavyspray.
RIfthere isglare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,direct sunlight orreflections.
RIfthere is dirt onthe windshield inthe vicin‐ity ofthe multifunction camera orthe cameraisfogged up, damaged or obscured.
RIfthe traffic signs are hardtodetect, e.g. duetodirt or snow or insufficient lighting, orbecausetheyare obscured.
RIfthe information onthe navigation system'sdigital map is incorrect or out of date.
RIfthe signs are ambiguous, e.g. traffic signsinroadworksor in adjacent lanes.

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.

\nWARNINGRisk of an accident despiteEvasiveSteering Assist
EvasiveSteering Assist cannotalways clearlyidentify objects and complex traffic situa‐tions.
In addition,thesteering support of EvasiveSteering Assist isgenerallynot sufficienttoavoid a collision.
In such cases EvasiveSteering Assist can:
Rgive an unnecessarywarning or provideassistance
Rnot giveawarning or not provide assis‐tance
Always pay careful attentiontothe traf‐fic situation; do notrely on EvasiveSteering Assist alone.
Bereadytobrake andtakeevasiveaction if necessary.
Preventthe assistancebyactivelysteer‐ing in non-critical driving situations.
Drive at an appropriate speed if pedes‐trians are closetothe path ofyourvehi‐cle.
Also observethe system limitations of EvasiveSteering Assist.
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not functioninthefollowing situations:
RIn snow,rain,fog, heavy spray, ifthere isglare, in direct sunlight or ingreatlyvaryingambient light.
RIfthe sensors are dirty,fogged up, damagedor covered.
RIfthe sensors malfunction dueto otherradarsource interference,forexamplestrongradarreflections in parkinggarages.
RIf a loss of tire pressure or a defective tirehas been detected and displayed.
The system may notreact correctly:
RIn complextraffic situations whereobjectscannotalways be clearly identified.
RTopedestrians orvehicles iftheymovequickly intothe sensor detectionrange.
RTopedestrians who are hiddenby otherobjects.
RIfthe typical outline of a pedestrian cannotbe distinguished fromthe background.
RIf a pedestrian is notrecognized as such, e.g.duetospecial clothing orother objects.
ROn bends with a tightradius.

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.
