Adaptive Brake Assist
General information
iObserve the "Important safety notes "sec-
tion (Ypage 61).
With the hel pofadaptive Brake Assist, the dis-
tance warning signal can detect obstacles that
are in the path of your vehicl efor an extended
perio doft ime.
If adaptive Brake Assist detects ariskofc olli-
sio nw itht he vehicl einfront, it calculate sthe
braking force necessary to avoid acollision. If
yo ua pply the brakes forcefully ,adapt ive Brake
Assist will automaticall yincreas ethe braking
force to alev el suitabl efor the traffic conditions.
Adaptive Brake Assist provides braking assis-
tance in hazardouss ituations at speeds above
4m ph (7 km/h). It uses radar sensor technology
to asses sthe traffic situation.
Up to aspeed of approximately 155 mph
(250 km/h), adaptive Brake Assist is capable of
reacting to moving objects that have already
bee ndetected as such at leas tonce ove rthe
perio dofo bservation.
Up to aspeed of approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h),a daptive Brake Assist reacts to sta-
tionary obstacles.
If adaptive Brake Assist demand sparticularly
hig hb raking force ,preventative passenger pro-
tectio nmeasures (PRE-SAFE
®)are activated
simultaneously (Ypage 55).

HANDS-FREE ACCESS
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The vehicle's exhaust system may be very hot. You could burn yourself by touchin gthe
exhaust system if you use HANDS-FREE
ACCESS. There is arisk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make the kicking move-
ment within the detection range of sensors.
!If the SmartKey is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the uninten-
tional opening of the trunk:
Rusing acar wash
Rusing apower washer
Make sure that the SmartKey is at least 10 ft
(3 m) away from the vehicle.
General notes
With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FRE EACCESS,
you can open or close the trun klid or stop the
procedure without using your hands. This is use- ful if you have your hands full. To do this, make
ak icking movementu nder the bumper with your
foot.
84Trunk
Opening and closing

Observe the following points:
RCarry your KEYLESS-GO key aboutyour per-
son. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in the rear
detection range of the vehicle.
RWhen making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise
lose your balance e.g. on ice.
RAlwayse nsure that you only make the kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors :.
RStand at least 12 in (30 cm) awayf rom the
rear area while doing so.
RDo not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.
RHANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
RDirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
Using the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with apros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
RIf aK EYLESS-GO key is within the rear detec-
tion range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-FREE
ACCESS could be triggered. The trunk lid
could thus be opened or closed unintention-
ally,f or example, if you:
-sit on the edge of the trunk.
-set something down or lift something up
behind the vehicle.
-polish the rear of the vehicle.
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key abouty our
person in these situations or in situations sim-
ilar to these. This will prevent the uninten-
tional opening/closing of the trunk.
Operation
XTo open/close: kick into sensor detection
range :under the bumper with your foot.
Aw arning tone will sound while the trunk lid is
opening or closing.
XIf the trunk lid does not open/close after
several attempts: wait at least ten seconds
and then using your foot kick under the
bumper again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too
long, the trunk lid does not open or close.
Repeatt he leg movement more quickly if this
occurs.
To stop the opening or closing procedure:
Rkick with your leg in the sensor detection
range :under the bumper or
Rpress the closing button on the trunk lid, or
Rpress the Fbutton on the SmartKey
If the trunk lid closing procedure has been stop-
ped:
Rmove your foot under the bumper againa nd
