Driving and operating133Smart brake assist
Smart brake assist provides a boost
to braking when the brake pedal is quickly applied. The braking is based on the speed of approach and
distance to a vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.9 Warning
Smart brake assist may increase
vehicle braking in situations when
it may not be necessary. You
could block the flow of traffic. If this occurs, take your foot off the brakepedal and then apply the brakes
as needed.
Forward collision alert 3 134.
Front pedestrian protection 3 136.
System limitations
In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to various
types of objects, i.e., traffic signs or
vehicles in another lane. This is
normal operation, the vehicle does
not need service. Firmly apply the
accelerator pedal to override the
automatic braking if the situation and
the surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance
might be limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● detecting vehicles with a trailer, tractors, muddy vehicles, etc.
● detecting a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow
● driving during nighttime● the sensor in the windscreen or the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
the bumper is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
license plate support
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed with the engine running
● when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is smaller than the other wheels

Fault
In the event of a fault, a message is
displayed in the Colour Info Display,
accompanied by an acoustic signal.
In the event of a fault in the powersteering, C illuminates and a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.

Driving and operating147The state of the system is memorised
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing an
electrically connected trailer.
Due to adverse weather conditions,
such as heavy rain, false detections
may occur.

Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintended leaving of the
lane. The front camera observes road
edges, as well as the lane markings
between which the vehicle is driving.
If the vehicle approaches a road edge or a lane marking, the steering wheel
is gently turned to position so that the
vehicle turns back into the lane. The
driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn steering wheel in same direction, if
the system does not steer sufficiently.
Turn steering wheel gently into
opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, L flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.

Driving and operating153DeactivationTo deactivate the system, press and
hold j. Deactivation of the system is
confirmed by the illuminated LED in
the button and L illuminates yellow
in the instrument cluster.
Fault
In the event of a fault, L and C
appear in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a display message
and a warning chime. Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
System limitations The system performance may be
affected by:
● a dirty or foggy windscreen or if the windscreen is affected by
foreign objects, e.g. stickers
● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● winding or hilly roads
● road edges
● sudden lighting changes● adverse environmental conditions, e.g. heavy rain or
snow
● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres
Switch off the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
Lane keep assist does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert,
even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the lane keep
assist may not be sufficient to
avoid a lane departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences like road condition and
surface and weather. The driver has full responsibility to control the vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
Driver alert
The driver alert system monitores the driving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
The system includes a driving time
alert combined with driver drowsiness detection.
