Canceling a brake application of Active Brake
Assist
You can cancel a brake application of Active Brake Assist at any time by:
= sharply depressing the accelerator pedal or
with kickdown
= releasing the brake pedalActive Brake Assist may cancel the brake applica-
tion when one of the following conditions is ful"Nl-
led:
= You maneuver to avoid an obstacle
= There is no longer a risk of collision
= An obstacle is no longer detected in front of
your vehicle
Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with Driving
Assistance Package)
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
teristics:
= The ability to detect stationary or moving
pedestrians.
= Assistance through power-assisted steering if
a swerving maneuver is detected.
= Activation through an abrupt steering move-
ment during a swerving maneuver.
= Assistance during swerving and straightening
of the vehicle.
= Reaction from a speed of approximately
12 mph (20 km/h) up to a speed of approx-
imately 43 mph (70 km/h).256Driving and parking

You can prevent the assistance at any time byactively steering.
Cornering function (only vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)
If the system detects a risk of a collision with an
oncoming vehicle when turning across an oncom-
ing lane, autonomous braking can be initiated at
speeds below 9 mph (15 km/h) before you have
le"s the lane in which you are driving.&WARNING Risk of accident despite Eva-
sive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog-
nize objects or complex tra"Pc situations
clearly.
Moreover, the steering support provided by Evasive Steering Assist is not su"Pcient to
avoid a collision.
Always pay careful attention to the tra"Pc
situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering
Assist alone.Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-
sary.End the support by actively steering in non-critical situations.Drive at an appropriate speed if there
are pedestrians close to the path of your
vehicle.
System limits
Full system performance is not available for a
short time a"ser switching on the vehicle or a"ser
driving o"M. Depending on the environmental con-
ditions, it may take a few minutes before full sys-
tem performance is available.
The system may be impaired or may not function,
particularly in the following situations:
= In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, direct sunlight
or highly variable light conditions, or if there is
glare.
= If the sensors are dirty, fogged up, damaged or
covered.
= If the sensors are impaired due to interference
from other radar sources, e.g. strong radar
re"Oections in parking garages.
= If a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire has
been detected and displayed.
= If DSR is active.
= In complex tra"Pc situations where objects
cannot always be clearly identi"Ned.
= If pedestrians or vehicles move quickly into
the sensor detection range.
= If pedestrians are hidden by other objects.
= If the typical outline of a pedestrian cannot be
distinguished from the background.
= If a pedestrian is not detected as such, e.g.
due to special clothing or other objects.
= If the driver\bs seat belt is not fastened.
= On bends with a tight radius.\bThe Active Brake Assist sensors adjust auto-
matically while a certain distance is being
driven a"ser the vehicle has been delivered.
Active Brake Assist is unavailable or only par-
tially available during the teach-in process.

q Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind
Spot Assist with exit warning
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130 "s (40 m) behind and 10 "s
(3 m) next to your vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx-
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse-
quently enters the monitoring range directly next
to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirror lights up red.
Status display:
=

switched on, all other detected vehicles are indi-
cated only by the "Oashing of the red warning
lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is given.&WARNING Risk of accident despite Active
Blind Spot Assist
Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to the
following:
= if you overtake a vehicle too closely so that
it is in the blind spot area
= if vehicles traveling at a much faster speed
approach and then overtake
Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings
or intervene in such situations.
Always pay careful attention to the tra"Pc
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognizedangers (  page 228).
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of Blind Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occupants about approaching vehicles when leaving the vehicle
when stationary.&WARNING Risk of accident despite exit
warning
The exit warning neither reacts to stationary
objects nor to persons or road users approaching you at a greatly di"Mering speed.
The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these situations.
Always pay particular attention to thetra"Pc situation when opening the doors
and make sure there is su"Pcient clear-
ance.
If there is a vehicle in the monitoring range, this is
indicated in the outside mirror. If a vehicle occu-
pant opens the door on the side with the warning, a warning tone sounds and the warning lamp in
the outside mirror starts to "Oash.
This additional function is available only when
Blind Spot Assist is active. When the exit warning
is activated, it can warn vehicle occupants for up to three minutes a"ser switching the vehicle o"M.
The exit warning is no longer available once the warning lamp in the outside mirror "Oashes three
times.
The exit warning is only an aid and not a substi-
tute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The responsibility for opening and closing the doorsand for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehi- cle occupants.
System limits
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may be limited in the following situations, in particular:
= if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
= in poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
= if there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or
motorbikes
= if the road has very wide or narrow lanesDriving and parking261

=if vehicles are not driving in the middle of their
lane
Warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane
borders. Always make sure that there is su"Pcient
distance to the side for other tra"Pc or obstacles.
Warnings may be interrupted when you are driving
alongside long vehicles (e.g. trucks) for a pro- longed time.
Blind Spot Assist is not operational when reverse gear is engaged.
Blind Spot Assist and the exit warning are not
operational when a trailer is coupled to the vehi- cle and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established.
The exit warning may be limited in the following situations:
= when the sensors are covered by adjacent
vehicles in narrow parking spaces
= when people approach the vehicle
= in the event of stationary or slowly moving
objects
q Function of brake application (Active Blind Spot
Assist)
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side
impact in the monitoring range, a course-correct- ing brake application is carried out. This isdesigned to help you avoid a collision.
The course-correcting brake application is availa-
ble in the speed range between approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and 125 mph (200 km/h).&WARNING Risk of accident despite brake
application of Active Blind Spot Assist
A course-correcting brake application cannot
always prevent a collision.
Always steer, brake or accelerate your- self, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist
warns you or makes a course-correcting
brake application.Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs, the red warning lamp "Oashes in the outside mirror
and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a display 1 indicating the danger of a side collision
appears in the driver\bs display.
In rare cases, the system may make an inappro- priate brake application. This brake application
may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly
in the opposite direction or accelerate.
System limits
Note the system limitations of Active Blind Spot
Assist; you may otherwise not recognize the dan-
gers (  page 260).
