&DANGER Risk of death caused by exhaust
gases
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases is hazardous to health
and leads to poisoning.
Never leave the engine or, if present, the
auxiliary heating running in an enclosed
space without suPcient ventilation.&WARNING Risk of injury by becoming
trapped when opening and closing a garage door
When you operate or program a garage door
with an integrated garage door opener, per- sons can become trapped or struck by the
garage door if they stand within its range of movement.

Information on collision detection on a parked
vehicle
If a collision is detected on the locked vehicle when towing protection is switched on and colli-sion detection is switched on, you will receive a
message in the multimedia system when the vehi-
cle is switched on.
You will receive information about the following points:
= The area of the vehicle that may have been
damaged.
= The force of the impact.
The following situation may lead to inadvertent activation:
= The parked vehicle is moved in a two-story
garage, for example.
\bDeactivate tow-away protection to prevent
inadvertent activation. If you deactivate tow-
away protection, collision detection will also be deactivated.\bIf the battery is heavily discharged, the func-tion for detecting a collision on a parked vehi-cle will automatically be deactivated to facili-tate the next engine start.
System limits
Detection may be restricted in the following situa-
tions:
= the vehicle is damaged without impact, such
as if an outside mirror is torn oM or the paint is
damaged by a key
= impact occurs at low speed
= the electric parking brake is not applied
\bYou are responsible for your vehicle. Make
sure that your vehicle is free of damage and
roadworthy.
Notes on parking the vehicle for an extended
period
If you leave the vehicle parked for longer than six
weeks, it may suMer damage through disuse.
The 12 V battery may also be impaired or dam-
aged by heavy discharging.
\bFurther information can be obtained at a
qualiNed specialist workshop.Standby mode (extension of the starter battery\bs
period out of use)

q Standby mode function
\bThis function is not available for all models.
If standby mode is activated, energy loss will be
minimized during extended periods of non-opera-
tion.
Standby mode is characterized by the following:
= The starter battery is preserved.
= The maximum non-operational time appears in
the media display.
= The connection to online services is interrup-
ted.
= The ATA (anti-thes alarm system) is not availa-
ble.
= The interior protection and tow-away alarm
functions are not available.
= The function for detecting collisions on a
parked vehicle is not available.
Driving and parking185

If the following conditions are fulNlled, standby
mode can be activated or deactivated using the multimedia system:
= The vehicle is switched on.
= The vehicle has not been started.
Exceeding the vehicle\bs displayed non-operational
time may cause inconvenience; i.e. it cannot be guaranteed that the starter battery will reliablystart the vehicle.
Charge the starter battery in the following situa- tions:
= The vehicle\bs non-operational time must be
extended.
= The Battery Charge Insufficient for Standby
Mode message appears in the media display.\bStandby mode is automatically deactivated
when the vehicle is switched on.

Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems that
assist you in driving, parking and maneuvering thevehicle. The driving systems are only aids. Theyare not a substitute for you paying attention to
your surroundings and do not relieve you of your
responsibility pertaining to road traPc law. The
driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.Pay attention to the traPc conditions at all times
and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the limitations regarding the safe use of these sys-tems.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of an
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or traPc condi-
tions.\bSome driving systems can regulate or limit the speed to a previously set value. Draw atten-tion to the stored speed when changing driv-
ers.
Information on vehicle sensors and cameras
Some driving and driving safety systems use cam- eras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to
monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle.
186Driving and parking

1Multifunction camera2Cameras in the outside mirrors3Front radar4Front camera5Corner radars6Ultrasonic sensors7Rear view camera&WARNING Risk of accident due to restric-
ted detection performance of vehicle sen- sors and cameras
If the area around vehicle sensors or cameras
is covered, damaged or dirty, certain driving
and safety systems cannot function correctly.
There is a risk of an accident.
Keep the area around vehicle sensors or
cameras clear of any obstructions and
clean.Have damage to the bumper, radiator
grille or stone chipping in the area of the
front and rear windows repaired at a
qualiNed specialist workshop.
Particularly, keep the areas around the sensors
and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush
(  page 308). The sensors and cameras must
not be covered and the detection ranges around them must be kept free. Do not attach additional
license plate brackets, advertisements, stickers, foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in
the detection range of the sensors and cameras.
Make sure that there are no overhanging loads
protruding into the detection range.
If there is damage to a bumper or the radiatorgrill, or aser an impact, have the function of the
sensors checked at a qualiNed specialist work-
shop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area of the cameras on the front and rear windows
repaired at a qualiNed specialist workshop.\bThe rear view camera can extend and retract
automatically for the purpose of calibration,
even though there is no camera image in the
display.

also available without the Driving Assistance
Package, albeit with restricted functionality.

= Parking Assist PARKTRONIC (  page 231)
= Active Parking Assist (  page 235)Functions of ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
= During braking, for instance, at maximum full-
stop braking or if there is insuPcient tire 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 active from speeds of approx. 3 mph
(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.
