Driving and driving saf
ety sy stems Driving sy
stems and your responsibility Yo
ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are only
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
speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ing
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
accident if youfa ilto adapt your driving style nor
ove rride the la wsof ph ysics. They cannot alw ays
ta ke into account road, weather or traf fic condi‐
tions. In
fo rm ation on vehicle sensors and cameras 1
Cameras in the outside mir rors
2 Multifunction camera
3 Front camera
4 Ultrasonic sensors
5 Reversing camera %
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, the
ra dar sensors are integ rated behind the
bumpers and/or behind thera diator grille.
Some driving and driving saf ety sy stems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to
th eve hicle.
Ke ep the areas around the sensors and cameras
free of dirt, ice or slush (/ page319). The cam‐
eras and sensors must not be co vered, forex am‐
ple bybicycle rack s, overhanging loads, sticke rs,
fo il or foils toprotect against stone chipping.
Ad ditional licence plate brac kets can impair the
function of the ultrasonic sensors and camera
sy stems, in particular.
In theeve nt of dama geor a se vere impact in the
area of the sensors, ha vethe function of the
sensors checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Ha vedamage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras repaired at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop. If the sensors or cameras are dam‐
aged, some driving sy stems and driving saf ety
sy stems may no longer function proper ly.194
Driving and pa rking

fi
ed based on the actual operating conditions
and/or loads.
Examples of arduous operating conditions:
R regular city driving with frequent intermedi‐
ate stops
R mainly short-dis tance driving
R frequent operation in mountainous terrain or
on poor road sur faces
R when the engine is of ten le ftidling for long
periods
R operation in particula rly dusty conditions
and/or if air-recirculation mode is frequently
used
In these or similar operating conditions, ha vethe
interior air filter, engine air cleaner, engine oil
and oil filter etc. changed more frequent ly. The
ty re s must be checked more frequently if the
ve hicle is operated under increased loads. Fur‐
th er information can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop. Battery disconnection periods
