Crossing
traffic
warning Concept
Two radar sensors in the rear bumper monitor
the area behind the vehicle.
At blind driveways or when driving out of diagj
onal parking spaces, approaching cross traffic
is detected sooner by the system than is posj sible from the driver's seat.
The system indicates approaching traffic.
The respective display is called up on the Conj
trol Display. A signal tone may sound and the
lamp in the exterior mirror may flash.
With the respective equipment variant, the traffic area in front of the vehicle is monitored

features
and

This chapter describes all standard, country- specific and optional features offered with theseries. It also describes features that are notnecessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due
to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions
and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations
must be observed.
Dynamic
Damping
Control
Concept
This system reduces undesirable vehicle moj tion when using a dynamic driving style or travj
eling on uneven road surfaces.
This enhances the driving dynamics and drivj
ing comfort depending on the road surface
condition and driving style.
General
information The system offers several different damping
settings.
These are assigned to the different driving
modes of the Driving Dynamics Control, refer
to page 112.Driving modeDamper tuningSPORT
SPORT PLUSfirmCOMFORT
ECO PRObalanced outAdaptive
Drive
Concept
Adaptive Drive is an actively controlled chasj sis/suspension. The system increases driving
comfort and minimizes the lateral tilt when
driving around curves.
General
information For active control, this system uses the availajble information, for instance from the navigaj
tion system or the driving style analysis.
In particular in the ADAPTIVE driving mode, rej
fer to page 114, this information is used to inj
fluence the Dynamic Damping Control and the active roll stabilization, refer to page 208, conj
trol. This further increases both the agility of
the vehicle as well as the lane stability.
Active
roll
stabilization
Concept
The system reduces the lateral inclination of
the vehicle that occurs during rapid driving in curves or during quick evasive maneuvers.
The lateral inclination of the vehicle is balj
anced out by permanent adjustment on the front and rear axles. The vehicle is thus alwaysstabilized.
Agility and driving comfort are increased under
all driving conditions.
General
information
The system offers several different tunings.
These are assigned to the different driving
modes of the Driving Dynamics Control, refer to page 112.Seite 208ControlsDriving
