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 vicin‐
ity of the multifunction camera or the camera
is mis ted up, damaged or obscured.
R if tra ffic signs are hard todiscern (e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insuf ficient lighting, or because

R Ifth e information on the navigation sy stem's
digital map is incor rect or out of da te.
R Ifth e signs are ambiguous, e.g. tra ffic signs

ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are aids
and do not relie ve you of your responsibility per‐
ta ining toroad traf fic la w.Pay attention tothe
traf fic conditions at all times and inter vene
when necessa ry. Be aware of the limitations
re ga rding the safe use of these sy stems. Information on
radar and ultrasonic senso rsSome driving and driving sa
fety sy stems use
ra dar or ultrasonic sensors tomonitor the area in front of, behind or next
totheve hicle (depend‐
ing on theve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind thera diator grille. The ultrasonic
sensors are located in the front and rear bump‐
ers. Keep these parts free of dirt, ice and slush
(/ page 531). The sensors must not be cov‐
ered, forex ample bybicycle rack s, ove rhanging
loads, sticke rs,fo il or foils toprotect against
st one chipping. Additional licence plate brac kets
can li kewise impair the function of the ultrasonic
sensors. In theev ent of damage tothe bumpers
or radiator grille, or following a collision impact‐
ing the bumpers or radiator grille, ha vethe func‐
tion of the sensors checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. If the sensors are damaged,
some driving sy stems and driving saf ety sy stems
may no longer function proper ly. Overview of driving sy

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.

DSR (Downhill Speed
Regulation) Fu
nction of DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
DSR is an aid toassist you when driving down‐
hill. It keeps the speed of tr avel at the selected
ta rget speed. The steeper the downhill gradient,
th e greater the DSR braking ef fect on theve hi‐
cle. On flat stre tches of road and uphill gradi‐
ents, the DSR brakes theve hicle minimally or
not at all.
When DSR is activated and the transmission is in
position 005B,005Eor005C, DSR controls the driving
speed. The target speed can be set toava lue
between 2 km/h and 18km/h. By braking or
accele rating, you can drive at a higher or lo wer
speed than theta rget speed at any time.
DSR is deactivated automatically if you drive at
speeds greater than 45 km/h or select drive
program CorB. The îoffmessage
th en appears in the multifunction displa y.The
st atus indicator in the multifunction display dis‐
appears. You also hear a warning tone. In

WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident when DSR is acti vated on
slippery road sur faces
If th e speed driven and theta rget speed dif‐
fe r, and you activate DSR on a slippery road
sur face, the wheels may lose traction. #
Take into account thero ad sur face and
th e dif fere nce between the driving
speed and target speed before activat‐
ing DSR. If
yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, DSR can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. DSR
is only an aid. You are responsible for maintain‐
ing a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, for
ve hicle speed, for braking in good time and for
st ay ing in lane.
Yo u are alw aysre sponsible forke eping control of
th eve hicle and for assessing whe ther the down‐
hill gradient can be negotiated. Depending on
ro ad sur face and tyres, DSR may not al ways be able
tokeep totheta rget speed. Select a target
speed suitable forth e environmen tal conditions
and also apply the brakes yourself if requ ired.
