Crosswind Assist Crosswind Assist does not
react under thefo llow‐
ing conditions:
R The vehicle is subjected tosevere jolts and
vib rations, e.g. as a result of une ven su rfaces
or po tholes.
R The vehicle loses traction, e.g. on snow or ice
or when hydroplaning.
R The driver is per form ing sudden and lar ge
st eering mo vements.
Crosswind Assist is operational again as soon as
th e driving conditions return tonormal.
Crosswind Assi stdetects stro ng crosswind gu sts
th at can impair ability of your vehicle todrive
st ra ight ahead. Crosswind Assist inter venes
depending on the direction and stre ngth of the
crosswind.

trailer stabilization &
WARNING Risk of accident in poor road
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilization cannot pr event lu rching of
th eve hicle/trailer combination. Trailers with
a high cen ter of gr avity may tip over before
ESP ®
de tects this. #
Always adapt your driving style to suit
th e cur rent road and weather condi‐
tions. ESP
®
trailer stabilization coun tera cts critical driv‐
ing situations in good time and thereby pr ovides
considerable assis tance when driving wi th a
traile r. Trailer stabilization is part of ESP ®
.
If th e sensor sy stem and evaluation logic de tect
trailer swinging mo vements, ESP ®
trailer stabili‐
zation initially brakes individual vehicle wheels in
a ta rgeted manner. It thus coun tera cts swinging
mo vements. If the swinging mo vements do not
st op, theve hicle is braked until theve hicle/
trailer combination is stabilized. If necessar y,the
ve hicle's engine output is limited.
If yo ur vehicle with trailer (vehicle/trailer combi‐
nation) starts toswer ve,yo u are able tostabilize
th eve hicle/trailer combination only bybraking.
ESP ®
trailer stabilization helps youto stabilize
th eve hicle/trailer combination in this situation.
ESP ®
trailer stabilization is active at speeds
abo veappr oximately 40 mph (6 5 km/h).
If ESP ®
is deactivated because of a malfunction,
trailer stabilization will not function. Fu
nction of EBD (electronic brake forc e distri‐
bution) EBD has
thefo llowing characteristics:
R monitoring and controlling the braking force
on there ar wheels
R impr oving driving stabilization when braking,

Fu
nction of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hicle
automatically in order tomaintain a pr eviously
st ored speed.
If yo u accelerate toove rtake, forex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Cruise contro l is operated using the cor respond‐
ing steering wheel buttons. You can store any
ro ad speed abo ve15 mp h (20 km/h).
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor
ove rride the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible

Sy stem limitations
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
On long and steep downhill gradients, you should
ch ange down toa lo werge ar in good time. Take
particular no teofthis when driving a laden vehi‐
cle. By doing so, you will make use of the
engine's braking ef fect. This relie vesth e load on
th e brake sy stem and pr events the brakes from
ove rheating and wearing tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whe refrequent speed
ch anges are requ ired, e.g. in heavy traf fic or
on winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accele rating can cause the
drive wheels tolose traction and theve hicle
could then skid.
