Loss of traction of the front
wheels, which can lead to
understeering.
When VSC is deactivated, driv-
ing stability is reduced during
acceleration and when driving in
curves.
To increase vehicle stability,
activate VSC again as soon as
possible.
When VSC is deactivated, VSC
OFF is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster.
Safety information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
conditions. Based
on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropri-
ate.
WARNING
When driving with a roof load, for
instance with roof-mounted lug-
gage rack, the vehicle's center of
gravity is higher, which increases
the risk of the vehicle tipping in
critical driving situations. There is
a risk of accidents or risk of dam-
age to property. Do not deactivate
VSC Vehicle Stability Control Sys-
tem when driving with roof load.

CONTROLSWhen entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the VSC oper-
ates, it cannot operate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.
Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized. The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.
When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.
You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.
When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.
When driving with snow
chains.

Parking Sensor is a support
when parking. Objects that you
are approaching slowly in front
of or behind the vehicle are indi-
cated by signal tones and a dis-
play on the Control Display.
Depending on the equipment version: Obstacles at the side of
the vehicle that are detected by
the side ultrasonic sensors may
also be reported by the side pro-
tection, refer to page 217, func-
tion.
The ultrasound sensors for dis-
tance measurements are
located in the bumpers and pos-
sibly on the sides of the vehicle.
The range, depending on the
obstacle and environmental
conditions, is approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning sounds in
case of an impending collision at
a distance to the object of
approx. 27 in/70 cm.
For objects behind the vehicle,
the acoustic warning is already
issued at a distance to the
object of approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.

■General information
An intermittent tone indicates
when the vehicle is approaching
an object. For instance, if an
object is detected to the left rear
of the vehicle, a signal tone
sounds from the left rear
speaker.
The shorter the distance to the
object, the shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected
object is less than approx. 8
in/20 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
If there are objects in front of
and behind the vehicle at the
same time, with a distance
smaller than approx. 8 in/20 cm,
an alternating constant tone will sound.
The intermittent tone and con-
stant tone are switched off if the
selector lever position P is
engaged.
The intermittent tone is switched
off after a short time when the
vehicle is stationary.

The emergency braking function
of Parking Sensor initiates an
emergency braking in case of
acute risk of collision. Due to system limits, a collision
cannot be prevented under all
circumstances.
The function is available from
walking speed while backing up
or rolling backward.
A press of the accelerator pedal
interrupts the braking interven-
tion.
After emergency braking to a
stop, further creeping toward an
obstacle is possible. To creep
toward the obstacle, lightly
press the accelerator pedal and
release it again.
If the accelerator pedal is heav-
ily depressed, the vehicle drives
off as usual. Manual braking is
possible at any time.
The system uses the ultrasound
sensors of Parking Sensor and
