Safety notes
WA R N I N G
If the wipers start moving when they
are folded away from the windscreen, parts of the body may become
trapped or the vehicle may be dam-
aged. There is a danger of injury or damage to property. Make sure that
the vehicle is switched off when the
wipers are folded away from the wind-
screen, and that the wipers are in contact with the windscreen when
switching on.
NOTICE
If the wipers are frozen to the wind-
screen, switching them on may cause
the wiper blades to tear off and the wiper motor to overheat. There is a
danger of damage to property. Defrost
the windscreen before switching on the wipers.

When the ambient conditions are
dry, Launch Control permits opti-
mised acceleration on a road sur-
face that offers plenty of grip.
Use of Launch Control causes pre-
mature component wear, as the
function subjects t he vehicle to very
high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when
running in, see page 280.
When starting with Launch Control,
do not turn the steering wheel.
Launch Control is available when
the engine is at operating tempera-
ture. The engine is at operating
temperature after an uninterrupted
journey of at least 10 km, approx. 6
miles.

At speeds over approx. 250 km/h,
155 mph, the system is temporarily
disabled. As soon as the speed
drops back below this value, the
system responds once again
according to its settings.
The detection ability of the system
is limited.
Only objects detected by the sys-
tem are taken into account.
For this reason, the system may fail
to respond or only respond after a
delay.
It is possible that the following are
not detected, for example:
Slow-moving vehicle when
approaching it at high speed.
Vehicles suddenly cutting in or
braking heavily.
Vehicles with an unusual rear
appearance.
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead.
The system may have limited func-
tionality in the following situations,
for example:
On sharp bends.
When Vehicle Stability Control
Systems are limited or deacti-
vated, for example VSC OFF.
Up to 10 seconds after starting
the engine using the start/stop
button.
Attaching any objects, for example
stickers or decals, in the area of the
radar beam will also impair radar
sensor operation and may even
cause them to fail.
The higher the sensitivity of the
warning settings, fo r example warn-
ing time, the more warnings are dis-
played. As a result, there may be
an increased number of premature
or unjustified warnings and
responses.
System limits
Safety note
WA R N I N G
The system may not re spond at all, or may respond too late, incorrectly or

The system reacts to pedestrians
and cyclists if your own speed is
below approx. 85 km/h, 53 mph.
The detection ability of the system
is limited.
As a result, the system may fail to

late.
It is possible that the following are
not detected, for example:
Partially concealed pedestrians.
Pedestrians who are not
detected as such, because of the
viewing angle or outline.
Pedestrians outside the detec-

Pedestrians less than approxi-

The Blind spot monitor detects
vehicles in the blind spot, or if vehi-

From a minimum speed, two radar
sensors in the rear bumper monitor

2844-1. DRIVING HINTS
This situation, known as aquaplan-
ing, means that the tyre can actu-
ally lose contact completely with
the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered, nor the
brakes properly applied.
Please comply with the following
when driving through water:
Deactivate the Automatic
Start/Stop function.
Only drive through still water.
Only drive through water up to a
max. depth of 25 cm, 9.8 in.
Drive through water at a walking
speed of no more than 5 km/h, 3
mph.
The vehicle is equipped with the
Anti-lock Brake System ABS as
standard.
Perform full brakin g in situations
that require it.
The vehicle remains steerable. Any
obstacles can be avoided by steer-
ing as smoothly as possible.
A pulsing of the brake pedal and
hydraulic regulating sounds indi-
cate that the anti-lock brake system
ABS is functioning.
In certain braking situations, the
perforated brake discs can cause
functional noise. However, func-
tional noises have no effect on the
efficiency and operational safety of
the brakes.
In wet weather, on gritted roads and
in heavy rain, apply the brakes
lightly every few kilometres/miles.
Driving through water
General
Safety note
NOTICE
Driving through excessively deep water too fast can result in water
entering the engine compartment,
electrical system or transmission. There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. When driving through water, do
not exceed the maximum water depth and speed specified above.
Safe braking
General
Objects in the range of movement
of the pedals
WA R N I N G
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or block a
pedal that has been pressed. There is a risk of accident. Ensure that items in
the vehicle are stowed securely and
cannot get into the driver's footwell. Only use floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle and can be securely
fastened to the floor. Do not use loose floor mats, and do not place several
floor mats on top of one another.
Make sure that there is sufficient space for the pedals. Ensure that floor
mats are securely reattached after
removal, for example for cleaning.
