Driving
start moving immediately and could cause
an accident.
- You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If
you
use the
emergency braking function by activating
the parking brake switch, this has the same
effect as heavy braking. Please remember
that the ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL
and traction control functions) is still sub­
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emer­
gency stop can cause the vehicle to skid or
lose steering control.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this

case,
park the vehicle on a
level
surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector lever to position
P
(automatic
gearbox) to prevent
it
from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your
vehide
- even if
you
only intend to be
gone for
a
short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-op­
erated equipment such as the electric
win­

dows - this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
© Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
You can apply the parking brake manually or
switch on the hold assist* when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to
hold the car with the brake pedal, as the
brakes will stop it creeping forward while a
gear is engaged in the automatic transmis­

sion.
When you drive off in the normal way,

co
the parking brake will be released automati-
<

° cally
and your vehicle will start moving

O
Note
- Any slight noise which may be heard when
the parking brake is applied or released is
quite normal and no cause for concern.
- The parking brake runs an automatic test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is

parked.
This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the electrical power supply fails, it is not
possible to release the parking brake (if it
was applied) or to apply the parking brake
(if it was released)

Obtain professional
assistance.
Driving away from a
standstill
Various features and safety functions are availa­
ble for driving off, depending on the equipment
in your vehicle.
Hill starting with the parking brake applied
Important: The driver's door must be closed.

•
To drive off more easily on a slope, apply the
parking brake and drive off just as you usually

would.
The parking brake will be released auto­
matically, but not until there is enough power
at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the
desired direction.
Hill starting with the hill hold assist
The hill hold assist function makes it easier to
drive away on a slope.
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the engine must be running.

•
To activate the hill hold assist, press and hold
the brake pedal for several seconds. The vehicle
must be on a slope and facing uphill.
When you release the brake pedal the braking
force will be maintained for
a
moment

Parking aids
Parking aids
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/reversing camera/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicLe.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car

cépage
135.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicLe

^page
135.
The reversing camera uses the infotainment sys­
tem display to show a picture of the area behind
the vehicle captured by the camera. This picture
helps you to park the vehicle parallel or perpen­
dicular to the roadside. In addition, you are assis­
ted by the functions of the parking system plus

^>page
137.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicLe into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb
^>page
139. It
also includes the functions of the parking system
plus
^page
135 and additionally monitors the
area at the side of the vehicle
(f) ^page

Fig. 124.

A
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicLe. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­

vres.

- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system - risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have bLind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis­

tered.
It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicLe - risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicLe and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.

(T)
CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­

tures,
such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note
that
you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel

rims.

(T)
Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
-To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend
that
you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can change the display and adjust the
volume and pitch of the beeps
