3Make sure that the key switch is
in the end position so that the
airbags are activated.
The front passenger airbags are
reactivated and can deploy cor-
rectly if the need arises.
The indicator lamp for the front pas-
senger airbags in the roof lining
shows the operating status of the
front passenger airbags.
After switching on the drive-ready
state, the light illuminates briefly
and then shows whether the
airbags are activated or deacti-
vated.
The active pedestrian protection
system raises the bonnet if the
vehicle's front end collides with a pedestrian. Sensors underneath
the bumper are used for detection.
When the pedestrian protection
system is triggered, it creates
deformation space underneath the
bonnet for the subsequent head
impact. Indicator lamp for front pas-
senger airbags

If the front passenger
airbag is activated, the
indicator lamp illuminates
for a short period and then
extinguishes.
When front passenger
airbags are deactivated,
the indicator lamp remains
illuminated.

Safety notes
WARNING
The system can trigger inadvertently
if contact is made with individual com-
ponents of the hinges and bonnet
locks. There is a danger of injury or
damage to property. Do not touch
individual components of the hinges
and bonnet locks.
WARNING
Changes to the pedestrian protection
system can lead to a failure, a mal-
function or accidental triggering of the
pedestrian protection system. There
is a danger of injury or even death. Do
not modify individual components of
the pedestrian protection system or
its wiring in any way. Do not dismantle
the system.

The system is reset approximately
45 minutes after the vehicle is
stopped, for example when taking a
break during a long motorway jour-
ney.This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-

ABS prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when the brakes are applied.
Steering control is retained even in
the event of full braking, thereby
enhancing active road safety.
ABS is ready to operate each time
the engine is started.

operate sufficiently:

excessively high rate of speedDriving Stability Control

In this case, even if the ABS operates,
it cannot operate sufficiently to avoid a
possible dangerous situation. The
driver is solely responsible for under-
standing their surroundings and driving
at a safe speed.
When the brake pedal is depressed
quickly, the system automatically
applies maximum braking power
assistance. By doing so, the brak-
ing distance is kept as short as pos-
sible in full braking situations. The
advantages offered by the Anti-lock
Brake System ABS can also be uti-
lised to the full.
The pressure on the brake should
be maintained for the duration of
the full-braking process.
In conjunction with Adaptive Cruise
Control, this system ensures that
the brake responds even more
quickly when braking in critical situ-
ations.The system provides support when
driving off on upward gradients.
1Hold the vehicle in place by
depressing the foot brake.
2Release the foot brake and drive
off without delay.
The vehicle is held for approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the foot
brake has been released.
Depending on the vehicle's load,
the vehicle may roll backwards a lit-
tle.
The system reduces engine power
output and applies the brakes on
individual wheels thereby helping,
within the limits imposed by the
laws of physics, to keep the vehicle
safely on course.
