Side assist (lane change assist) helps you monitor
your blind spot and traffic behind your vehicle.
W ith in the limits of the system, it warns you
about vehicles that are coming close r or that are
traveling with you w ithin sensor range(!)
c>fig. 119. If a lane change is classified as criti­
cal, the disp lay@ in the exterior mirror turns on
c>fig . 120.
The display in the left exter ior mirror provides as­
sistance when making a lane change to the left,
while the disp lay in the right exterior mirror pro­
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right .
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
side assist
informs you about vehicl es that are
detected and classified as critical. The disp lay in
the mirror turns on, but is dim .
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur ­
bed.
126
Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is
warning you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as critical.
If this happens, check traffic by glancing
in the exterior mirrors and over your shoulder
c> .&. in General information on page 127.
Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist: the
display in the mirror can also blink if you have not
activated a turn signal: if you are approaching a
detected lane marker line and it appears you will
be leaving the lane, side assist will warn you
about detected vehicles that it has class ified as
critical.

trians
F ig . 128 Instrument cluster: symbol when the infrared im­
age is not vi sible
With in the limits of the system, the night vision
assist can detect pedes tria ns and w ild an imals
that are between approximately 32 feet (10 m)
and 295 feet (90 m) in front of the vehicle and
within the detection zone. Within the limits of
the system
r:::;, page 133, a pedestrian or wild ani­
mal detected when the low beams are switched
on is highlighted in yellow
i=> fig. 127. Animal rec ­
ognition is not active within highly developed
areas . The system only detects large wild animals
such as deer .
@ Tips
If another display (such as navigation) repla­
ces the image from the night vision ass ist, the
symbol appears in a tab

th is:
- Pedestrians or wild anima ls are highlighted in
red in the instrument cluster and the corre­
sponding symbol. or. turns on

- There is also an audible signal.
The area classified as c ritical is based on the veh i­
cle speed and the steeri ng wheel angle . Pedes­
trian and wild animal warning enco urages you to
pay more attention.
If the night vision assist image is rep laced by an­
othe r d isplay (such as the on-board compute r),
the red. or. in di cator light

- The parking brake is set and then released .
- The se lector lever must be in the P posit ion .
Segments in the visual display
The segments in front of and behind the vehicle
¢
fig. 137 help you to determine the d istance be­
tween your vehicle and an obstacle . The red
lines* mark the expected d irection of travel ac­
cording to the steering angle . A white segment
i ndicates an identified obstacle that is outside of
the vehicl e's path. Red segments show iden tified
obstacles that are in your veh icle's path. As you r
vehicle comes closer to the obstacle, the seg ­
ments move closer to the vehicle. The collision
area has been reached when the next to last seg ­
ment is displayed. Obstacles in the collision area,
i ncluding those outs ide of the vehicle's path, are
shown in red. Do not continue driving forward or

Intelligent Technology
_&. WARNING
You should only switch offroad mode on or
switch ESC/ ASR off if your driving abilities
and the traff ic conditions perm it. There is a
r isk of slid ing.
- The stabilization function is limited when
offroad mode is switched on. The driving
wheels co uld spin and the vehicle could
swerve , especially on slick or slippery road
surfaces.
- T here is no vehicle stab ilizat ion when ESC/
ASR are switched off .
Hill descent assist
Hill descent assist makes it possible to drive
down a hill at a constant speed.
Fig. 155 Center console: hill descent ass ist button
.. To switch hill descent assist on, press the 1-

button. The LED in the button turns on.
.. Press the button again to switch it off. The LED
in the button turns off.
Hill descent assist brakes all four wheels auto­
matically in order to limit speed when driving ei­
ther forward or reverse on hills with a grade from approximately 6 to 60%. The wheels w ill not lock
up because the ABS remains activated.
When hill descent assist is on, the speed your ve­
hicle was traveling when it entered the hill is maintained. The assist begins shortly after you
start driv ing and continues up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h). The driver can increase or de­
crease the vehicle speed w ith in these limits by
pressing the accelerato r or brake pedal.
H owever, there must be enough traction. Hill de­
scent assist
cannot function as expected, if for
150
example the hill is icy or if the surface is loose
~ & .
Active regulat ion of a speed up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) is signaled in the instrument
cluster by an indicator light •. T he indicator
light turns on when in the ready mode.
II.
The system does not work at speeds above ap­
proximately 19 mph (30 km/h). The system is
then in ready-mode . This is indicated by the LED
in the button turning on.
Hill descent assist is automatically activated un­
der the following conditions:
- the LED in the button turns on
- the vehicle speed is lower than 19 mph (30 km/
h)
-the hill angle is at least approximately 6%
_&. WARNING
-
- Always adapt your speed to the weather,
road and traffic conditions. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks, because this increases the risk
of an accident.
- The hill descent assist system cannot over­
come the laws of phys ics. Your driving style
must always be adapted to the current road
and traffic cond itions .
- Hill descent assist may not be able to hold
your vehicle at a constant speed under all
conditions while driving on a hill (for exam­
ple if ground under the vehicle is loose).
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km). They
must be "broken in" first. However, you can com­
pensate for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing f irmly on the brake pedal. Avo id heavy
braking during the break-in period.
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions .
This is especially true if you are driv ing frequent ly
