The braking e.ect is limited on salt-treated roads.
Therefore, obser vethefo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking distance can increase
considerably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe distance tothe
ve hicle in front
To remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to

Wa ter which has entered into theve hicle can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
Wa ter can also enter the air intake of the engine
and cause engine damage.
Obser vethefo llowing if you must drive thro ugh
wa ter:
R The water,when calm, may only reach the
lo we r edge of theve hicle body.
R Drive at walking pace at most; water can oth-
erwise enter theve hicle interior or engine
compartment. R
Vehicles tr avelling in front, or oncoming vehi-
cles, can create waves which may exceed the

eering
ing The
rear axle steering is an elect romechanical
auxiliary steering on there ar axle which adjusts
th e steering of there ar wheels according tothe
position of the front wheels, depending on the
speed. This results in greater manoeuvrability and
impr oved driving stability, e.g. when cornering.
Re ar axle steering has thefo llowing characteris-
tics:
R reduced steering e.ort and turning circle
re sulting in reduced parking e.ort
R impr oved driving stability, e.g. when cornering

4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and tra1c conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and for st aying in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum e.ect
of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you use
winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if
necessar y. R
