The system may ha ve restricted
functionality in the following situa-
tions:
The speed of the approaching
vehicle is much faster than your
own speed.
The approaching vehicle is
approaching slowly.
The brake lights flash to warn road
users behind the vehicle that emer-
gency braking is being performed.
Normal braking: brake lights illu-
minate.
Heavy braking: brake lights flash.
Shortly before the vehicle comes to
a standstill, th e hazard warning
lights are activated.
To switch off the hazard warning
lights:
Accelerate.
Press the hazard warning lights

The system can automatically bring
the vehicle to a standstill in certain
accident situations without the
involvement of the driver. The risk
of a further collision and its conse-
quences can thereby be reduced.
After the vehicle has come to a halt,
the brake is released automatically.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to bring the vehicle to a
standstill more quickly than is pos-
sible with automatic braking.
To do so, brake quickly and firmly.
For a brief period, the braking pres-
sure will be higher than that

the automatic braking process.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to cancel automatic braking,
for example for an evasive

Cancel automatic braking:
By depressing the brake pedal.
By depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The system can det ect decreasing
attentiveness or the onset of fatigue
in the driver on long monotonous
journeys, for example on motor-
ways. In this situation, it is recom-
mended that you take a break.
The system is switched on every
time drive-ready state is switched
on.
After commencement of the jour-
ney, the system adapts to the driver
so that an decrease in attention or
fatigue can be detected.
This process considers the follow-
ing criteria:
Personal driving style, for exam-
ple, steering.
Driving conditions, for example,
time of day, duration of journey.
The system is active from approx.
70 km/h, 43 mph and can also dis-
play a recommendation to take a
break.
The driver attention control is auto-
matically active every time
drive-ready state is switched on
and can thus display break recom-
mendations.
Break recommendations can also
be switched on or off and adjusted

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-

It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-

ABS prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when the brakes are applied.
Steering control is retained even in
the event of full braking, thereby
enhancing active road safety.
ABS is ready to operate each time
the engine is started.
Situations which the ABS cannot
operate sufficiently:
When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the ABS operates,
it cannot operate sufficiently to avoid a
possible dangerous situation. The
driver is solely responsible for under-
standing their surroundings and driving
at a safe speed.
When the brake pedal is depressed
quickly, the system automatically
applies maximum braking power
assistance. By doi ng so, the brak-
ing distance is kept as short as pos-
sible in full braking situations. The
advantages offered by the Anti-lock
Brake System ABS can also be uti-
lised to the full.
The pressure on the brake should
be maintained for the duration of
the full-braking process.
In conjunction with Dynamic radar
cruise control, th is system ensures
that the brake responds even more
quickly when braking in critical situ-
ations.

The system does not relieve you of
your personal responsibility to assess
the traffic situation correctly. Due to system limitations, it cannot respond
independently and appropriately in all
traffic conditions. There is a danger of accidents. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the
traffic situation and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WA R N I N G
When driving with a roof load, for example with a roof rack, the higher
centre of gravity can mean that driv-
ing safety is no longer guaranteed in critical driving situations. There is a
danger of accidents or damage to
property. Do not deactivate Vehicle
Stability Control VSC when driving with a roof load.

●In heavy traffic.
●If the road is icy, if there is fog or snow, if conditions are wet or on a
loose road surface.
There is a danger of accidents or
damage to property. Only use the sys-

there is not enough engine power.
*: if equipped
This system allows you to set a
desired speed and a desired dis-
tance from the vehicle in front,
using the buttons on the steering
wheel.
When the road ahead is clear, the
system maintains the desired
speed by braking or accelerating
the vehicle automatically, as
required.
If there is a vehicle driving in front,
the system adapts your own vehicle
speed in order to maintain the set
distance from the vehicle ahead.
The speed is adapted as far as the
given situation allows.
Depending on the vehicle settings,
the characteristics of the Cruise
Control may change.
The distance can be set in several
stages, and is dependent on the
individual speed for reasons of
safety.
If the vehicle ahead brakes to a
standstill and sets off again shortly
afterwards, the system can recog-
nise this within the bounds of what
is possible in the given conditions.

vehicle, secure it to prevent it from
rolling away.
Observe the following to ensure that
the vehicle is secured against rolling away:
●Apply the parking brake.
●Turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on upward or downward gradi- ents.
●Additionally secure the vehicle on upward or downward gradients, for
example with a chock.
