vethe impor tant sa fety guidelines forthe
driving saf ety sy stem. ABS cont
rols the brake pressure in critical situa‐
tions:
R The wheels are pr evented from lo cking when
braking, e.g. during maximum full-s top brak‐
ing or when there is insuf ficient tire traction
R The steerability of theve hicle in term s of
ph ysical possibilities is ensured when braking
R ABS is active from speeds of appr ox. 3 mph
(5 km/h). On a slippery road sur face, ABS
inter venes even if you on lybrake gently.
Sy stem limits
If th ere is a malfunction and theye llow 0025 ABS
wa rning lamp lights up continuously in the instru‐
ment display af terst arting the engine, ABS may
be impaired or inoperative.
If ABS inter venes, you will feel a pulsing in the
brake pedal. The pulsating brake pedal may be an
indication of hazardous road conditions and func‐
tions as a reminder totake extra care while driv‐
ing.
If ABS in terv enes: keep the brake pedal firm ly
depressed until the braking situation has passed.
To car ryout maximum full-s top braking:

Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC maintains the
set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles ahead
are de tected, the set dis tance is maintained, if
necessa ryuntil theve hicle comes toa halt. The
ve hicle accelerates or brakes depending on the
dis tance totheve hicle in front and the set speed.
Speed and dis tance are set and stored on the
st eering wheel. The speed can be set in thera nge
between 15mp h (20 km/h) and 99 mph
(160 km/h) or between 15mp h (20 km/h) and

Sy
stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing ins tances:
R The radar sensors are af fected bysno w,rain,
fo g, heavy spr ay,gl are, direct sunlight or
greatly varying ambient light.
R The radar sensors may malfunction in parking
ga rage s or on roads with steep uphill or
downhill gradients.
R Ifth era dar sensors are dirty or co vered.
R On icy or slippery roads, braking or accelerat‐
ing can cause the drive wheels tolose trac‐
tion and theve hicle could then skid.
R Stationary objects are not de tected if these
we renot pr eviously de tected as moving.
R On bends, target vehicles may be lost or not
re cognized cor rectl y.As a result, a target
ve hicle is not used toregulate the speed
which may lead tounwa nted accele ration.
Do not use Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC in
th ese situations. &

As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. #
Always pay careful attention tothe traf‐

failto

and obs tacles.
If a vehicle is de tected ab ove speeds of appr ox‐
imately 7.5 mp h (12 km/h) and this vehicle sub‐
