PLUS (anticipatory
occupant pr otection plus) PRE-
SAFE®
PLUS can de tect cer tain impacts,
particular lyan imminent rear impact, and take
pre-em ptive measures toprotect theve hicle
occupants. These measures cannot necessarily
pr eve nt an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
R Activating there ar hazard warning lights at a
higher flashing frequenc y.
R Increasing brake pressure when theve hicle
is stationar y.This brake application is cancel‐
led automatically when theve hicle pulls
aw ay. If an accident did not occur,
the pre-em ptive
measures that we retake n are reve rsed.
Sy stem limits
The sy stem will not initiate any action in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R when reve rsing
or
R when theve hicle is towing a trailer and there
is a risk of a rear impact
The sy stem will not initiate any braking applica‐
tion in thefo llowing situations:
R whilst driving
or
R when entering or exiting a parking space

Be diligent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a

R The child restra int sy stem must be appropri‐
ate tothe age, weight and size of thech ild.
R The vehicle seat must be suitable forfitting a

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Notall information
and traf fic situations can be fore seen. The qual‐
ity depends on theav ailable map data.
ECO Assist is on lyan aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble forke eping a safe dis tance from theve hicle
in front, forve hicle speed and for braking in
good time. You must be ready tobrake at all times ir
respective of whe ther the sy stem is
active.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R If visibility is poor, e.g. due toinsuf ficient illu‐
mination of thero ad, high lyvariable shade
conditions, rain, sno w,fog or heavy spr ay.
R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
di re ct sunlight or reflections.
R Ifth ere is dirt on the windscreen in the area
of the multifunction camera or the camera is
mis ted up, damaged or obscured.
R Ifro ad signs are hard todetect, e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insuf ficient lighting, or because

ety sy stems Driving sy
stems and your responsibility Yo
ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are only
aids. They are not a substitute foryo ur attention
to the sur roundings and do not relie ve you of
yo ur responsibility per taining toroad traf fic la w.
The driver is alw aysre sponsible for maintaining
a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle
speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ing
in lane. Pay attention tothe traf fic conditions at
all times and inter vene when necessa ry. Be
aw are of the limitations rega rding the safe use of
th ese sy stems.
Driving sy stems can neither reduce therisk of
accident if youfa ilto adapt your driving style nor
ov erride the la wsof ph ysics. They cannot alw ays
ta ke into account road, weather or traf fic condi‐
tions. In
fo rm ation on vehicle sensors and cameras Some driving and driving saf
ety sy stems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to

regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
R During braking, e.g. at full brake application
or insuf ficient tyre traction, the wheels are
pr ev ented from locking.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured. If ABS inter
venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving.
