System
limits
Basic
limits
The system may not be fully functional in the following situations:
'yOn steep hills, in steep depressions or in
tight curves.'yIf the camera is soiled or damaged.'yIn heavy fog, rain or snowfall.'yAt very high external temperatures.
Limits
of
pedestrian
and
animal
detection
In some situations, it may occur that pedesj
trians are detected as animals or animals as
pedestrians.
Small animals are not detected by the object
detection function, even if they are clearly visij ble in the image.
Limited detection, for example in the following
circumstances:
'yPeople or animals who are fully or partially covered, especially when their heads are
covered.'yPeople who are not in an upright position,
for example, lying down.'yCyclists on unconventional bicycles (for example, recumbent bicycles).'yAfter physical damage to the system, forexample, after an accident.

Lane
departure
warning Concept
Starting at a specific speed, this system alerts you when the vehicle on streets with lanemarkings is about to leave the lane. This
speed, depending on the country version, is
between 35 mph/55 km/h and
45 mph/70 km/h.
The steering wheel begins vibrating gently in
the event of warnings. The time of the warning
may vary depending on the current driving sitj
uation.

The system does not provide a warning if theturn 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.'

End
of
warningThe warning is canceled in the following situaj
tions:'yAutomatically after approx. 3 seconds.'yWhen returning to your own lane.'yWhen braking hard.'yWhen using the turn signal.

Prewarning
The dimmed lamp in the exterior mirror housj ing indicates when there are vehicles in the
blind spot or approaching from behind.
Acute
warning
If the turn signal is set while a vehicle is in the
critical zone, the steering wheel vibrates briefly
and the lamp in the exterior mirror housing
flashes brightly.
The warning stops when the turn signal is
switched off, or the other vehicle leaves the
critical zone.
Brief
flashing
A brief flashing of the lamp during vehicle unj
locking serves as system self-test.

information
The Active Protection safety package consists
of systems that are independent of each other:'yAttentiveness assistant.'yPreCrash.'yPostCrash.
Attentiveness
assistant
Concept
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 of
alertness or fatigue may not be detected or not
be detected in time. There is a risk of an accij
dent. Make sure that the driver is rested and
alert. Adjust the driving style to the traffic conj
ditions.'

'ySevere understeering.'ySevere oversteering.
If the vehicle includes the front-end collisionwarning or front-end collision warning with
braking feature, impending collisions with vehij cles driving ahead or stopped in front of you
can also be detected within the system's
range.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility. Due to the system limj its, critical situation could not be detected relij
ably or in time. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust the driving style to the traffic condijtions. Watch traffic closely and actively interjvene in the respective situations.'

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.
Drive-off
assistant Concept
This system supports driving off on inclines. The parking brake is not required.Driving

the
drive-off
assistant1.Hold the vehicle in place with the foot
brake.2.Release the foot brake and drive off withj
out delay.
After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is held in place for approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle load, the vehicle may roll back slightly.
Dynamic
Performance
Control
DPC
The Dynamic Performance Control increases both the agility of the vehicle as well as the
lane stability.
The system seamlessly handles the distribuj tion of the drive torque between the two rear
wheels.
Depending on the situation, the drive torque is
shifted from the wheel on the inside of the
curve to the wheel on the outside of the curve
or vice-versa.
To increase the maneuverability, the rear wheel on the outside of the curve is accelerj
ated when a sporty driving style is used.
The steering responds directly; simultanej
ously, the understeering tendency of the four-
wheel drive is reduced.
With the oversteering tendency, the system exerts a stabilizing effect by accelerating the
rear wheel on the inside of the curve.
The system noticeably improves the traction
and simultaneously increases the driving
safety, especially on road surfaces having flucj
tuating coefficients of friction.

WARNING
The system does not release from the
personal responsibility to correctly assess the
