Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The system is not responding as expected
The sensors are dirty ⇒ Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior . The sensor visibility may be
impaired by dirt and snow or also residue from cleaning agents or coatings.
The system requirements must be met ⇒ Prerequisites .
The sensors are covered by water.
The vehicle is damaged in the area of the sensors, e.g. caused by parking collisions.
The detection ranges of the sensors are blocked by add-on parts, e.g. bicycle carriers.
Changes have been made to the paintwork in the area of the sensors or structural modifications
have been made, e.g. on the vehicle front end or the running gear.
The ultrasound signal is subject to interference from external noise sources, e.g. rough tarmac
surface or cobblestones.
No sensor visibility, error message, system switches itself off
Park Assist is switched off if a sensor fails.
Clean the sensors or remove stickers or accessories from the sensors and cameras ⇒ Caring for and
cleaning the vehicle exterior .
Check whether any damage is visible.
Possible solution
Switch off the system temporarily.
Check whether any of the causes described apply.
You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.
If the system still fails to respond as expected, have the system checked by a qualified workshop.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels parking or driving out of a parking space in the following situations:
The button is pressed.
The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
The driver door is opened.
The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
There is a system fault.
TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.

Never use the system where visibility is restricted or in unclear traffic situations, e.g. on extremely
busy roads or across several lanes.
Always pay attention to the area around the vehicle, since cyclists and pedestrians are often not
reliably detected, for example.
The Rear Traffic Alert will not always independently bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
Brake support systems
Information on brake support systems
The vehicle is fitted with brake support systems. The systems can support the driver in critical driving
or braking situations. Brake support systems cannot overcome the limits of physics and cannot
always keep the vehicle under control in every single critical driving or braking situation. The driver is
responsible for driving safety ⇒ .
Driving with brake support systems
The brake support systems work when the engine is running. They do not need to be operated
separately.
The brake pedal may pulsate or noises may occur while the brake support systems are regulating.
Continue to apply the necessary amount of brake pressure. Apply the necessary pressure to the
brake pedal consistently. If necessary, steer the vehicle while the brake pedal is depressed.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC helps to reduce the risk of skidding and to improve driving stability in certain driving situations
⇒ .
ESC is always switched on.
Traction control system (TCS)
The TCS reduces the drive output if wheelspin occurs and adapts the drive output to suit road
surface conditions ⇒ Troubleshooting . The TCS makes it easier to pull away, accelerate and drive up
hills.
With some equipment levels, the TCS can be switched off in exceptional circumstances ⇒ Switching
the TCS on and off .
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system can prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied up until
the point where the vehicle is nearly stationary and assists the driver in steering the vehicle and
keeping it under control ⇒ Troubleshooting .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can help to reduce the stopping distance. The brake assist system reinforces
the braking force when the driver depresses the brake pedal quickly in an emergency situation.
If you reduce the pressure on the brake pedal, the brake assist system will switch off the brake
servo.

Electronic differential lock (EDL and XDS)
EDL brakes a spinning wheel automatically and distributes the drive force to the other drive wheels.
The EDL switches off automatically under unusually heavy loads to prevent the brake from
overheating. The EDL switches back on again automatically as soon as the brake has cooled down.
XDS improves traction in order to keep the vehicle on its intended course.
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
In the event of a collision, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System can help the driver to reduce
the risk of skidding, and the danger of secondary collisions, through automatic braking.
The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System functions only for collisions that are detected as a
collision by the airbag control unit.
The vehicle is braked automatically if the required systems have not been damaged in the collision
and have remained functional.
The following actions override automatic braking in the event of a collision:
When the driver depresses the accelerator.
When the brake pressure transmitted through the depressed brake pedal is greater than the brake
pressure provided by the system.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in brake support systems cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the systems. Driving fast on icy, slippery or wet roads can lead to a
loss of control of the vehicle and could cause serious injury to the driver and passengers.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the extra safety afforded by the brake support systems ABS, BAS, EDL, TCS and ESC tempt you
into taking any risks when driving.
The brake support systems cannot overcome the laws of physics. Slippery and wet roads will remain
dangerous, even when the ESC and other systems are active.
Driving too fast on wet roads can cause the wheels to lose contact with the road surface and
aquaplane. The vehicle cannot be braked, steered or controlled once it has lost contact with the
road surface.
Brake support systems cannot prevent an accident if, for example, you are driving too close to the
vehicle in front or are driving too fast for the individual situation.
Although the brake support systems are very effective and can help to control the vehicle in difficult
driving situations, please always remember that the driving stability of the vehicle depends on the
tyre grip.

Trailer stabilisation
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The trailer stabilisation function can detect if an attached trailer is starting to snake and can
countersteer.
Trailer stabilisation is an extension of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
If trailer snaking is detected, the trailer stabilisation function automatically helps to reduce the
snaking motion of the trailer using counter steering assistance.

Changing the bulbs in the headlights (lights with LED technology)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
These lamps use LED technology. The LEDs cannot be replaced by customers. If some LEDs fail, this
may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. In this case, have the lights
checked and renewed if necessary at a qualified workshop.
Changing the front turn signal bulbs

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The actions should only be carried out in the specified order:
Observe and follow the instructions in the checklist ⇒ Checklist Information on changing
bulbs .
Turn the steering so that the wheel on the affected side of the vehicle is pointing to the
middle of the vehicle. If necessary, start the engine to do this. Then stop the engine again and
remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock.
Turn the cover in the wheel housing liner in the direction of the arrow and remove it

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The towing eye must always be kept in the vehicle.
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket, there is no mounting for the screw-in towing eye
behind the cover. To tow, swivel out or fit and use the ball head ⇒ Trailer towing .

Wheel imbalance may develop when the vehicle is driven; you will notice this by nervous steering
response. Unbalanced wheels will affect the level of tyre wear. In this case, the wheels should be
balanced again.
Incorrect wheel alignment impairs driving safety and increases tyre wear. The running gear should
be checked by a qualified workshop if tyres show excessive wear.

WARNING
If you notice unusual vibration or the car pulling to one side while the vehicle is in motion, this may
indicate that one of the tyres is damaged.

Check the tyres and wheel rims for damage.
