&WARNINGRisk of accident duetothebrake systemoverheating
Ifyou leaveyourfootonthe brake pedalwhen driving,the brake system mayover‐heat.
This increasesthe braking distance andthebrake system mayevenfail.
#Never usethe brake pedal as afootrest.
#Do not depressthe brake pedal andtheaccelerator pedal atthe same timewhile driving.
*NOTEWearing outthe brake liningsbycontinuously depressingthe brake pedal
#Do not depressthe brake pedal contin‐uously whilst driving.
#Tousethe braking effect ofthe engine,shifttoa lowergear in good time.
*NOTEDamagetothe drivetrain andengine when pullingaway
#Do notwarmupthe engine whilethevehicle isstationary.Pullawayimmedi‐ately.
#Avoid high engine speeds and driving atfullthrottle untilthe engine hasreachedits operatingtemperature.
*NOTEDamagetothe catalytic converterduetonon-combusted fuel
The engine is notrunning smoothly and ismisfiring.
Non-combusted fuel mayget intothe cata‐lytic converter.
#Only depressthe accelerator pedalslightly.
#Havethe causerectified immediately ataqualified specialistworkshop.
Limited braking effect on salt-treatedroads:
RDuetosalt build-up onthe brake discs andbrakepads,the braking distance can increaseconsiderably orresult in braking only on oneside
RMaintain a much greater safe distancetothevehicle in front
Toprevent salt build-up:
RBrake occasionally while paying attentiontothe traffic conditions
RCarefully depressthe brake pedal atthe endofthe journey and whenstartingthe nextjourney

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 brakepedal 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)
&WARNINGRisk of an accident causedbya malfunction inBAS (Brake AssistSys‐tem)
IfBAS is malfunctioning,the braking distancein an emergency braking situation isincreased.

125mph (200 km/h) when drivingstraightahead or cornering slightly.
RThevehicle isstabilizedbymeans of individ‐ual brake application on one side.
Function of EBD (electronic brakeforce dis‐tribution)
EBD ischaracterizedbythefollowing:
RMonitoring andregulatingthe brake pressureontherear wheels.
RImproved drivingstability when braking,especially on bends.
Function ofSTEER CONTROL
STEER CONTROL helpsyoubytransmitting anoticeablesteeringforcetothesteering wheel inthe directionrequiredforvehiclestabilization.
Thissteeringrecommendation is given particu‐larlyinthefollowing situations:
RBothright wheels or bothleft wheels are onawet or slipperyroad surface whenyoubrake
RThevehiclestartstoskid
System limitations
STEER CONTROL may be impaired or may notfunction inthefollowing situations:
RESP®is deactivated
RESP®is malfunctioning
RThesteering is malfunctioning
If ESP®is malfunctioning,you will be assistedfurtherbythe electric powersteering.
Function ofActive Brake Assist
Active Brake Assistconsists of:
RDistancewarning function
RAutonomous braking function
RSituation-dependent braking assistance
RVehicles with Driving AssistancePack‐age:EvasiveSteering Assist
Active Brake Assistcan helpyoutominimizetherisk of a collision withvehicles or pedestrians ortoreducethe effects of sucha collision.
IfActive Brake Assisthas detected arisk of colli‐sion, awarningtone sounds andthe

Canceling a brake application ofActive BrakeAssist
You can cancel a brake application ofActiveBrake Assistat any timeby:
RDepressingthe accelerator pedal fully.
RReleasingthe brake pedal.
Active Brake Assistmay cancelthe brake appli‐cation when one ofthefollowing conditions isfulfilled:
RYou maneuverto avoidthe obstacle.
RThereis no longer arisk of collision.
RAn obstacle is no longer detected in front ofyourvehicle.
EvasiveSteering Assist (onlyvehicles withDriving AssistancePackage)
EvasiveSteering Assist hasthefollowingcharac‐teristics:
RCan detectstationary or crossing pedes‐trians.
RCan assistthe driver with additionalsteeringassistance if it detects a swerving maneuver.
RCan be activatedbyan abruptsteering move‐ment during a swerving maneuver.
RCan assist during swerving andstraighteningofthevehicle.
RCanreact from a speed of approximately12mph (20 km/h) uptoa speed of approx‐imately 43mph (70 km/h).
RYou can preventthe assistance at any timebyactivelysteering.
&WARNINGRisk of an accident despiteEvasiveSteering Assist
EvasiveSteering Assist cannotalways clearlyidentify objects and complex traffic situa‐tions.
In addition,thesteering support of EvasiveSteering Assist isgenerally not 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.

Cruise control is operated usingthe correspond‐ingsteering wheel buttons.You canstore anyspeed above15mph (20 km/h) uptothe maxi‐mum speed.
Ifyoufailtoadaptyour drivingstyle, cruise con‐trol can neitherreducetherisk of an accidentnoroverridethe lawsof physics. It cannottakeinto accountroad,weather or traffic conditions.Cruise control is only an aid.You areresponsibleforthe distancetothevehicle in front,forvehi‐cle speed,for braking in good time andforstay‐ing inyour lane.

%The segments betweenthestored speed andthe end ofthe segment display light up inthe speedometer.
System limitationsCruise control may be unabletomaintainthestored speed on uphill gradients. Thestoredspeed isresumed whenthe gradientevens out.
Change into a lowergear in good time on longandsteep downhill gradients.Takeparticularnoteofthis when driving a ladenvehicle. By
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.
