Function ofthe 4MATIC
4MATIC ensuresthat allfour wheels are driven
when needed.Together with ESP®and 4ETS,4MATIC improvesthe traction ofyourvehiclewhenever a driven wheel spins duetoinsuffi‐cient traction.
Ifyoufailtoadaptyour drivingstyle, 4MATIC canneitherreducetherisk of an accident norover‐ridethe lawsof physics. 4MATIC cannottakeaccount ofroad,weather and traffic conditions.4MATIC is only an aid.You areresponsible espe‐ciallyfor maintaining a safe distance fromthevehicle in front,forvehicle speed,for braking ingood time andforstaying in lane.
In wintryroad conditions,the maximumeffect of 4MATIC can be achieved only ifyouuse winter tires (M+S tires), with snowchains if necessary.

\nWARNINGRisk offireorexplosion fromfuel
Fuels are highlyflammable.
Fire, openflames, smoking and creatingsparksmust beavoided.
Switchoffthe ignition and, if it hasbeen in use, switch offthestationaryheater beforeyourefuelyourvehicle.
\nWARNINGRisk of injuryfrom fuels
Fuels are poisonous and hazardousto yourhealth.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come intocontact with skin,eyes or clothing.

Electrostaticchargecan createsparksandthereby ignite fuelvapors.
15 4Driving and parking

ROnly depressthe accelerator pedal asfar asis necessary.
Deactivate ESP®inthefollowing situationstoimprove traction:
RWhen using snowchains.
RIn deep snow.
ROn sand or gravel.
Spinningthe wheelsresults in a cuttingaction, which enhances traction.
Ifthe

spacesthat are partiallyoccupiedbytrailerdrawbars might not be identified as such or bemeasured incorrectly. Only useActiveParkingAssist on level, high-gripground.
Do notuseActiveParking Assist inthefollowingsituations:
RIfyou are driving inextremeweather condi‐tions such as ice, packed snow or in heavyrain.
RIfyou are transporting a loadthat protrudesbeyondthevehicle.
RIfthe parking space is on asteep downhill oruphill gradient.
RIfyou haveinstalled snowchains.
ActiveParking Assist may also display parkingspacesthat are not suitablefor parking, e.g.:
RParking spaces where parking is prohibited.
RParking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.
ActiveParking Assist will not assistyou withparking spaces atright anglestothe direction oftravel inthefollowing situations:
RIf two parking spaces are located immedi‐ately nexttoeachother.
RIfthe parking space is directly nexttoa lowobstacle suchas a curb.
ActiveParking Assist will not assistyou withparking spaces parallel or atright anglestothedirection of travel inthefollowing situations:
RIfthe parking space is on a curb.
RIfthe parking space is borderedbyan obsta‐cle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.
Parking withActiveParking Assist
Depending onthevehicle's equipment,thebutton may also be located at a differentposition inthe center console.

204Driving and parking

The tire pressure losswarning system does notreplacethe needtoregularlycheckthe tire pres‐sure.
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not functionparticularlyinthefollowing situations:
RIncorrectly set tire pressure
RSudden pressure loss caused,forexample,byaforeign object penetratingthe tire
RSteady pressure loss in several tires
The system has arestricted or delayed functionparticularly inthefollowing situations:
RPoor ground conditions, e.g. snow or gravel
RDriving withsnowchains
RWhen adopting averysporty drivingstylewith high cornering speeds or sudden accel‐eration
RDriving with a high load
