Sy stem limits
ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Notall information
and traf fic situations can be fore seen. The qual‐
ity depends on the map data. ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is
responsi‐
ble forke eping a safe dis tance from theve hicle
in front, forve hicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready tobrake at
all times ir respective of whe ther the sy stem
inter venes.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R If visibility is poor, e.g. due toinsuf ficient illu‐
mination of thero ad, high lyvariable shade
conditions, rain, sno w,fog or heavy spr ay.
R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
di re ct sunlight or reflections.
R Ifth ere is dirt on the windscreen in the area
of the multifunction camera or the camera is
mis ted up, damaged or obscured.
R If traf fic signs are ha rdtodiscern, e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insuf ficient lighting, or because
th ey are obscured.
R Ifth e information on the navigation sy stem's
digital map is incor rect or out of da te.
R If signs are ambiguous, e.g. traf fic signs in

ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐

aids. They are not a substitute foryo ur attention
to the sur roundings and do not relie ve you of
yo ur responsibility per taining toroad traf fic la w. The driver is alw
aysre sponsible for maintaining
a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle

in lane. Pay attention tothe tra ffic conditions at
all times and inter vene when necessa ry. Be
aw are of the limitations rega rding the safe use of
th ese sy stems.
Driving sy stems can neither reduce therisk of

nction of ABS The Anti-lock Brake Sy
stem (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
R During braking, e.g. at full brake application
or insuf ficient tyre traction, the wheels are
pr eve nted from lo cking.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving. Fu
