The steering wheel begins vibrating gently in
the event of warnings. The time of the warning
may vary depending on the current driving sitj

The system does not provide a warning if the
turn signal is set before leaving the lane.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release the driver
from the personal responsibility to correctly assess route and traffic situation. There is arisk of an accident. Adjust the driving style to
the traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene in the respective situations.In the event of a warning, do not unnecessarilyjerk the steering wheel.'

The system can detect decreasing alertness or
fatigue of the driver during long, monotonous
trips, e.g., on highways. In this situation, it is
recommended that the driver takes a break.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess one's physical state. An increasing lack ofalertness or fatigue may not be detected or notbe detected in time. There is a risk of an accijdent. Make sure that the driver is rested and
alert. Adjust the driving style to the traffic conj
ditions.'

features
and
optionsThis 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.
Anti-lock
Braking
System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during
braking.
The vehicle maintains its steering power even during full brake applications, thus increasing
active safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the enj gine.
Brake
assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this systemautomatically produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces the braking disj
tance to a minimum during emergency stop.
This system utilizes all of the benefits provided
by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the emergency stop.
Automatic
Differential
Brake
The system controls the driving force by autoj matic braking intervention on individualwheels. The function corresponds to a differj
ential lock: the system detects if a wheel bejgins to spin, because of loose road surface,
e.g., and automatically brakes it.
The driving force is diverted to the wheel with
better traction.
As a result, the engine force is transferred
more efficiently to the wheels during acceleraj
tions.
DSC
Dynamic
Stability
Control
Concept
Within the physical limits, the system helps to
keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducj ing engine speed and by applying brakes tothe individual wheels.
General
information
Dynamic Stability Control detects, e.g., the folj
lowing unstable driving conditions:'yFishtailing, which can lead to oversteering.'yLoss of traction of the front wheels, which
can lead to understeering.
Dynamic Traction Control DTC, refer to
page 126, is a version of the DSC where forj
ward momentum is optimized.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sysj
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene in the rej
spective situations.'

WARNING
When driving with roof load, e.g., with
roof-mounted luggage rack, driving safety may
not be ensured in driving-critical situations due to the elevated center of gravity. There is a risk
of accidents or risk of property damage. Do not
deactivate Dynamic Stability Control DSC
when driving with roof load.'

'yWhen driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.'yWhen freeing vehicle from deep snow or driving off from loose ground.'yWhen driving with snow chains.

Performance
Control Performance Control enhances the agility of
the vehicle.
To increase maneuverability, wheels are
braked individually when a sporty driving style is used. The resulting braking power is simuljtaneously largely compensated by an engineintervention.
xDrive xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your vej
hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC
further optimize traction and driving dynamics. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably disj
tributes the drive forces to the front and rear
axles as demanded by the driving situation and
road surface.
HDC
Hill
Descent
Control
Concept
HDC is a downhill driving assistant that autoj matically controls vehicle speed on steep downhill gradients. Without applying the
brakes, the vehicle moves at slightly more than walking speed. It the brakes are actively apj
plied, the system distributes force according to
the traction.
Vehicle stability and maneuverability are imj proved on downhill gradients.
Hill Descent Control can be activated at speeds below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When
driving downhill, the vehicle reduces its speed
and then keeps its speed constant.
Only use HDC in low gears or in selector lever
position D or R.
Increasing
or
decreasing
vehicle
speed
Specify desired speed in the range from apj
prox. 4 mph/6 km/h to approx. 15 mph/25 km/h
using the rocker switch of the cruise control on
the steering wheel. Vehicle speed can be
changed by lightly accelerating.'yPress the rocker switch up to the point of
resistance: the speed increases gradually.'yPress up the rocker switch past the point
of resistance: the speed increases while
the rocker switch is pressed.'yPress the rocker switch down to the point
of resistance: the speed decreases graduj ally.Seite 127Driving

'yGreen: the system is actively

Malfunction
A message is displayed in the instrument clusj
ter. HDC is not available, for instance, at elej vated brake temperatures.
Servotronic
Concept
The Servotronic varies the steering force rej quired to turn the wheels in accordance withthe vehicle speed. At low speeds, the steeringforce is strongly supported, i. e. during steerjing, low force is required. As the speed injcreases, the assistance of the steering force is
reduced.
Furthermore, the steering force adapts accordj ing to the driving program, so that a direct,sporty feel and/or comfortable steering is conjveyed.
Variable
sport
steering
The variable sport steering increases the
steering angle of the front wheels at large steering wheel angles, e.g., in tight curves or
when parking. Steering becomes more direct.
It also varies the force required to turn the
wheels in accordance with the vehicle speed.
This results in a sporty steering response. In
addition, it becomes easier to steer during
parking and maneuvering.
