Reversingthe PRE-SAFE®system measures
If an accident did not occur,the pre-emptivemeasuresthatweretaken arereversed.
You will needtoperformcertain settingsyour‐self.
Ifthe seat belt pre-tensioning is notreduced,movethe seat backrest back slightly.The locking mechanismreleases.
Function of PRE-SAFE®PLUS (anticipatoryoccupant protection plus)
PRE-SAFE®PLUS can detect certain impacts,particularlyan imminentrear impact, andtakepre-emptive measurestoprotectthevehicleoccupants. These measures cannot necessarilyprevent an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE®PLUS can implementthefollowingmeasures independently of eachother:
RTighteningthe seat belts onthe driver's seatand front passenger seat.
RIncreasing brake pressure whenthevehicleisstationary.This brake application is can‐
celed automatically whenthevehicle pullsaway.
If an accident did not occur,the pre-emptivemeasuresthatweretaken arereversed.
System limitations
The system will not initiate any action inthefol‐lowing situations:
Rwhen backing up
The system will not initiate any braking applica‐tion inthefollowing situations:
Rwhilst driving
or
Rwhen entering orexiting a parking spacewhile usingActiveParking Assist
Safely transportingchildren inthevehicle
Always observewhenchildren are travelinginthevehicle
Alsostrictly observethe safety notesforthespecific situation. Inthiswayyou canrecog‐nize potentialrisks andavoid dangers ifchil‐
dren are traveling inthevehicle(→page 48).
Be diligentBear in mindthat neglectingtosecure achild inthechildrestraint system may haveserious con‐sequences. Always be diligent in securing achildcarefully beforeeveryjourney.
Toimproveprotectionforchildrenyoungerthan12years old or under 5ft(1.50 m) in height,Mercedes-Benzrecommendsyou observethefollowing information:
RAlways securethechild in achildrestraintsystem suitableforthis Mercedes-Benzvehi‐cle.
RThechildrestraint system must be appropri‐atetothe age,weight and size ofthechild.
RThevehicle seat must be suitablefor instal‐ling achildrestraint system.
Accidentstatistics showthatchildren secured intherear seats aregenerally saferthanchildrensecured inthe front seats.Forthisreason,Mercedes-Benzstrongly advisesthatyou installachildrestraint system on arear seat.

ECO Assistanalyzes dataforthevehicle'sexpec‐tedroute. This allowsthe systemtooptimallyadjustthe drivingstylefortheroute ahead, savefuel andrecuperate. Ifthe system detects anevent ahead, e.g. a speed limit or a traffic circle,it will appear onthe multifunction display1.Thefollowing symbols can be displayed:
Not allevents can be displayed, depending ontheengine type.

A different number of segments2will appeararoundthe symbol depending onthe distancetotheevent ahead:
RFew segments:theevent ahead is near.
RMany segments:theevent ahead is furtheraway.
Whenthevehicle nearstheevent, ECO Assistwill calculatethe optimal speedfor maximumfuel economy andrecuperativeenergy based onthe distance, speed and downhill gradient. The

ECO Assistis active only in drive programs;andA.
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.

\nWARNINGRisk of skidding and of anaccident duetoshifting down on slipperyroad surfaces
Ifyou shift down on slipperyroad surfacestoincreasethe engine braking effect,the drivewheels may lose traction.
Do not shift down on slipperyroad sur‐facestoincreasethe engine brakingeffect.
Whenthe automatic transmission is shiftedtoposition[,you can manually shift it withthe
steering wheel paddle shifter.If permitted,theautomatic transmission shiftstothe nextgearup or down depending onthesteering wheelpaddle shifter being pulled.
