Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems thatassist you in driving, parking and maneuvering thevehicle. The driving systems are only aids. Theyare not a substitute for you paying attention to
your surroundings and do not relieve you of your
responsibility pertaining to road traPc law. The
driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.Pay attention to the traPc conditions at all times
and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the limitations regarding the safe use of these sys-tems.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of an
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always take into account road, weather or traPc condi-
tions.
\bSome driving systems can regulate or limit the speed to a previously set value. Draw atten-tion to the stored speed when changing driv-
ers.Information on vehicle sensors and cameras
Some driving and driving safety systems use cam- eras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to
monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle.

&WARNING Risk of accident due to restric-
ted detection performance of vehicle sen- sors and cameras
If the area around vehicle sensors or cameras
is covered, damaged or dirty, certain driving
and safety systems cannot function correctly.
There is a risk of an accident.
Keep the area around vehicle sensors or
cameras clear of any obstructions and
clean.Have damage to the bumper, radiator
grille or stone chipping in the area of the
front and rear windows repaired at a
qualiNed specialist workshop.
Particularly, keep the areas around the sensors
and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush
(  page 379). The sensors and cameras must
not be covered and the detection ranges around them must be kept free. Do not attach additional
license plate brackets, advertisements, stickers, foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in
the detection range of the sensors and cameras.
Make sure that there are no overhanging loads
protruding into the detection range.
If a bumper or the radiator grill is damaged or
aser an impact, have the function of the sensors
checked at a qualiNed specialist workshop. Have
damage or stone chipping in the area of the cam-
eras on the front and rear windows repaired at a
qualiNed specialist workshop.\bThe rear view camera can extend and retract
automatically for the purpose of calibration,
even though there is no camera image in the
display.

Functions of ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
= During braking, for instance, at maximum full-
stop braking or if there is insuPcient tire trac-
tion, the wheels are prevented from locking.
= Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road con-
ditions and can serve as a reminder to take extra care while driving.
System limits = ABS is active from speeds of approx. 3 mph
(5 km/h).
= ABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occurred and the yellow %
ABS warning lamp lights up continuously aser
the vehicle is started.
Function of BAS&WARNING Risk of an accident caused by a
malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist System)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
Depress the brake pedal with full force in
emergency braking situations. ABS pre-
vents the wheels from locking.
The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your emergency braking situation with additional brake
force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is
activated:
= BAS automatically boosts the brake pressure.
= BAS can shorten the braking distance.
= ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
