The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
br

ake pressure in critical driving situations:
= During braking, for instance, at maximum full-
stop braking or if there is insuPcient tyre trac-
tion, the wheels are prevented from locking.
= Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road con-
ditions and can serve as a reminder to take extra
care while driving. System limits
= ABS is activ

e from speeds of approx. 5 km/h.
= ABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occurred and the yellow %
ABS warning lamp lights up continuously aser
the vehicle is started. Functions of OM-r

oad ABS %
OM-road ABS is activ
ated automatically when
you select the F or G drive program.
OM-road ABS is speciall
y adapted for driving oM-
road:
= The front wheels lock cyclically during braking.
= The braking distance is shortened due to the
digging-in eMect.
System limits
= OM-road ABS functions at speeds below
40 km/h.
= If OM-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer
may be restricted. Function of BAS

WARNING Risk of an accident caused b
y a
malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist System)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emer
gency braking situation is
increased. 
Depress the brake pedal with full force in
emer

gency braking situations. ABS pre-
vents the wheels from locking. The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your
emer
gency braking situation with additional brake
force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is
activated:
= BAS automatically boosts the brake pressure.
= BAS can shorten the braking distance.
= ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you release
the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated. 238

ou could otherwise fail to recognise
dangers. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP
n
) can moni-
t
or and improve driving stability and traction in
the following situations within physical limits:
= When pulling away on wet or slippery carriage-
ways.
= When braking. If the vehicle deviates from the direction desired
b
y the driver, ESP n
can stabilise the vehicle by
intervening in the following ways:
= One or more wheels are braked.
= The engine output is adapted according to the
situation.
When ESP n
is deactivated, the

ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by
int
ervening in the following ways:
= The drive wheels are braked individually if they
spin.
= More drive torque is transferred to the wheel
or wheels with traction.
*nOuence of drive programs on ESP n
The drive programs enable ESP n
to adapt to dif-
ferent weather and road conditions as well as the
driver's preferred driving style. Depending on the
selected drive program, the appropriate ESP n
mode will be activated. You can select the drive
programs using the DYNAMIC SELECT switch
( page 198). Function of ESP

WARNING Risk of accident in poor r
oad
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
tr
ailer stabilisation cannot prevent lurching of
the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a
high centre of gravity may tip over before
ESP n
detects this. 
Always adapt your driving style to suit
t

he current road and weather conditions. When driving with a trailer, ESP
n
can s
tabilise
your vehicle if the trailer begins to swerve from
side to side:
= ESP n
trailer stabilisation is active above
speeds of 65 km/h.
= Slight swerving is reduced by means of a tar-
geted, individual brake application on one
side. =
In t
he event of severe swerving, the operating
energy output is also reduced and all wheels
are braked.
ESP n
trailer stabilisation may be impaired or may
not function if:

detected properly by the vehicle. Activating/deactivating ESP

= The v

ehicle is stationary.
= The driver's door is closed or the seat belt on
the driver's side is fastened.
= The vehicle has been started or has been
automatically switched oM by the ECO start/
stop function.
= The electric parking brake is released.
= Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactiva-
ted.
= The transmission is in position h, k or i.

Adaptive Brake Lights warn following
tr
aPc in an
emergency braking situation with the following
actions:
= Oashing the brake lamps
= activating the hazard warning lights
( page 143)
If the vehicle is braked sharply from speeds above
50 km/h, the brake lamps Oash rapidly. This pro-
vides traPc travelling behind you with an even
more noticeable warning. ATTENTION ASSIST
Function of ATTENTION ASSIST
A

TTENTION ASSIST assists you on long, monoto-
nous journeys, e.g. on motorways and trunk
roads. If indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses
in concentration on the part of the driver are
detected, the system suggests taking a break. ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot
alw

ays detect fatigue or lapses in concentration in
time. The system is not a substitute for a well-res-
ted and attentive driver. On long journeys, take
regular breaks in good time that allow for ade-
quate recuperation.
You can choose between two settings:
= Standard: normal system sensitivity.
= Sensitive: higher system sensitivity. The driver
is warned earlier and the attention level detec-
ted by ATTENTION ASSIST is adapted accord-
ingly.
If drowsiness or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, the ATTENTION ASSIST: Take
a break! warning appears in the driver's display.
You can acknowledge the message and take a
break where necessary. If you do not take a break
and ATTENTION ASSIST continues to detect
increasing lapses in concentration, you will be
warned again aser a minimum of 15 minutes. The following information is displayed in the driv-
er's displa

y:
= The length of the journey since the last break.
= The attention level determined by ATTENTION
ASSIST.
The more segments 1 of the circle displayed,
the higher the detected attention level. Fewer seg-
ments 1 are displayed in the circle as the atten-
tion level decreases.
If ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate the
attention level and cannot issue a warning, the
System suspended message appears. Driving and parking

If a warning is given in the driver's display, the
multimedia sy stem oMers to search for a rest
area. You can select a rest area and start naviga-
tion to this rest area.
When you restart the vehicle, ATTENTION ASSIST
is automatically switched on. The last selected
sensitivity level remains stored.
System limits
ATTENTION ASSIST is active in the 60 km/h to
200 km/h speed range.
If the system is not available due to an error, the
warning light is permanently lit Û in the driver
display
Particularly in the following situations, ATTENTION
ASSIST only functions in a restricted manner and
warnings may be delayed or not occur:
= If you have been driving for less than approx-
imately 30 minutes.
= If the road condition is poor (uneven road sur-
face or potholes).
= If there is a strong side wind.
= If you adopt a sporty driving style (high corner-
ing speeds or high rates of acceleration). =
If t he Steering Assist function of Active Dis-
tance Assist DISTRONIC is active.
= If the clock is set to the incorrect time.
= If you change lanes and vary your speed fre-
quently in active driving situations.
= if ESP n
is not available
Also observe any information regarding display
messages that can be displayed in the driver's
display.
The ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness or alertness
assessment is reset and restarted when continu-
ing the journey in the following situations:
= If you switch oM the vehicle.
= If you unfasten your seat belt and open the
driver's door (e.g. to change drivers or take a
break). Setting ATTENTION ASSIST
