Operating mode Steering wheel vibration
The f
oll
owing sit
uations can cause vibr

ation
in the steering wheel and require the driver to
take active control of driving:

Braking and parking
Using the blind spot detector (BSD)
with parking assist ant (RC
TA) Activating and deactivating the blind spot
detector (BSD) with parking assistant
(RC T
A)
The blind spot detector with parking assistant
can be switched on and off by accessing the
Assistance systems menu on the dash
panel display using the steering wheel con-
trols. If the vehicle is equipped with a multi-
function camera, it can also be accessed by
means of the driver assistance systems key
located on the main beam headlight lever.
Open the Assistants menu.

Braking and parking
If the running gear or brake system is modi-
fied, the eff ectiv
eness of the ABS coul d be se-
v er
ely limited.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The brake assist system can reduce the re-
quired braking distance. The braking force is
automatically boosted if you press the brake
pedal quickly in an emergency. You must
keep pressing the brake pedal until the dan-
ger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match
the amount of grip available. This helps the
car to start moving, accelerate or climb a
gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes
the spinning wheel and directs the power to
the other driven wheel. This function is active
up to approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The ve-
hicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch on
again automatically when the brake has
cooled down. Tractor-trailer sway mitigation*
If the vehicle is pulling a trailer
, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries

Help with parking and manoeuvring
detect small children, animals or certain
objects in all situations.
WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when
parking or e xiting a parking space with
Park Assist can cause serious injury.
