Information on collision detection on a parked
vehicle
If a collision is detected on the locked vehicle when the tow-away alarm is activated and colli-
sion detection is switched on, you will receive a
message in the multimedia system when the vehi-
cle is switched on.
You will receive information about the following points:
= The area of the vehicle that may have been
damaged.
= The force of the impact.
The following situation can lead to inadvertent
activation:
= The parked vehicle is moved, for example, in a
two-story garage.
\bDeactivate the tow-away alarm in order to
prevent inadvertent activation. If you deacti-
vate the tow-away alarm, collision detection
will also be deactivated.
You can permanently deactivate collision
detection via the multimedia system
(  page 226).\bIf the battery is severely discharged, the func-
tion for detecting a collision on a parked vehi-
cle is automatically deactivated to facilitate
the next engine start.
System limits
Detection may be restricted in the following situa- tions:
= the vehicle is damaged without impact, for
example, if an outside mirror is torn o"M or the
paint is damaged by a key
= an impact occurs at low speed
= the electric parking brake is not applied
\bYou are responsible for your vehicle. Convince
yourself that your vehicle is free of damage
and roadworthy.Setting collision detection on a parked vehicle

Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems that
assist 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 tra"Pc 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 tra"Pc 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 tra"Pc 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
quali"Ned specialist workshop.
Keep the areas around the sensors and cameras
in particular free of dirt, ice and slush (  page 383). The sensors and cameras must
not be covered and the detection areas around them must be kept clear. Do not attach additional
license plate bracket, advertisements, stickers, wraps or stone chip protection "Nlms in the detec-
tion range of the sensors and cameras. Make sure
that there are no overhanging loads protruding
into the detection area.
If there is damage to a bumper or the radiator
grille, or a"ser an impact, have the function of the
sensors checked at a quali"Ned specialist work-
shop. Have damage or stone chipping around the cameras on the front and rear passenger com-
partment windows repaired at a quali"Ned special-
ist workshop.

also available without the Driving Assistance
Package, albeit with restricted functionality.

= Parking Assist PARKTRONIC (  page 287)
= Active Parking Assist (  page 291)Function 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 insu"Pcient 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 a"ser
the vehicle is started.
Function of o"M-road ABS\bO"M-road ABS is activated automatically when
you select the F drive program.
O"M-road ABS is specially adapted for driving o"M-
road:
= The front wheels lock cyclically during braking.
= The braking distance is shortened due to the
digging-in e"Mect.
System limits
= O"M-road ABS functions at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h).
= If O"M-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer
may be restricted.
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.
