Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)Read and observe
on page 85 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
The EDL switches off automatically in order to avoid excessive heat generation
on the brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down,
there is an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 85 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 85 first.
When driving on slopes, HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake ped-al to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The HHC is active as of a 5 % slope, if the driver door is closed. HHC is always
only active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.

Visual parking system

The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as: the system) draws attention to any
obstacles via audible signals and a display in the Move & Fun multifunction de-
vice screen when manoeuvring in the vicinity of the vehicle » page 87, Visual
parking system .
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 85, in section Introduction .■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.
■
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer drawbars etc. behind your vehicle. Such ob-
stacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■ Keep the system sensors clean, snow-and ice-free and do not cover with any
objects of any kind, otherwise the system functioning may be impaired.■
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
high temperatures etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle”.
■
Additionally installed accessories such as e.g. bicycle carriers can impair the
system function.

WARNING■Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
Note
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
City Safe Drive

Operation

City Safe Drive (hereinafter referred to as: the system) monitors the traffic sit-
uation ahead of the vehicle. If the system detects a risk of collision with an ob-
stacle ahead of the vehicle, then automatic braking is applied. The risk of a col-
lision is thus reduced and the consequences of an impact are minimized.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 85, in section Introduction .■
The system does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
CAUTION
The system can slow down the vehicle to a standstill. If the vehicle continues
to roll forward after stopping, then it should be stopped with the footbrake.OperationFig. 100
Laser sensor/detection range
Read and observe
and on page 89 first.
By means of a laser sensor » Fig. 100 -
 the system detects traffic situations
ahead of the vehicle up to a distance of about 10 meters » Fig. 100 -
 .
The system interventions take place when a risk of collision is detected as fol-
lows.
▶ The brake system is prepared for an emergency stop.
▶ If the driver fails to respond to a detected danger, an automatic braking ac-
tion is performed.
The system is ready to intervene automatically in the following conditions. The engine is running.
The system is activated.
The travel speed is about 5-30 km/h.
The field of view of the laser sensor is not impaired.
If the system triggers automatic braking, the indicator symbol flashes  in the
display of the instrument cluster quickly.
Automatic braking interventions by the emergency brake function can be ter-
minated by pressing the clutch or the accelerator or by moving the steering
wheel.
The system can, for example, be affected in the following situations or not
be available. ▶ When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
▶ Driving around “sharp” bends.
▶ When fully pressing down the accelerator pedal. 
89Assist systems

▶When the laser sensor is dirty or obscured.
▶ When the vehicles are very dirty and have a low level of reflection.
If the system is not available or there is a system malfunction, the indicator
symbol flashes 
slowly in the display of the instrument cluster.WARNING■
The windscreen may be neither blocked nor covered with dirt in the area
of the laser sensor. This can lead to impaired function of the sensor - risk of
accidents!WARNINGThe laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries. The la-
ser beam is not visible to the human eye.■
Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass
to look into the laser sensor.
■
The laser beam can also be active when the system is disabled or is not
available.
CAUTION
■ Remove the snow from the windscreen in the area of the laser sensor with a
hand brush and the ice with a solvent-free de-icing spray.■
If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc, re-
place the windscreen. Only use windscreens approved by the manufacturer.
■
When replacing the windscreen wiper blades, only use windscreen wiper
blades approved by the manufacturer.
Note
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.Disable / EnableFig. 101

strument cluster display for about 5 s.
WARNINGDeactivate the system for safety reasons in the following cases.■When the vehicle is being towed away.■
When the vehicle is driven though an automatic car wash.
