If yourv
ehicle/trailer combination begins to
lurch, you can only stabilise the vehicle/trailer
combination by depressing the brake firmly.
ESP ®
trailer stabilisatio nisactive above speeds
of approximately 65 km/h.
ESP ®
trailer stabilisatio ndoes not work if ESP ®
is deactivated or disabled because of amalfunc-
tion.
Crosswind Assist General notes
Strong crosswind gusts can impair the road-
holding of yourv ehicle when driving straight
ahead. The crosswind driving assistance func-
tion integrated in ESP ®
noticeably reduces
these impairments.
Depending on the direction and intensity of the
side wind, ESP ®
is activated automatically.
ESP ®
intervenes with stabilising braking to
assisty ou in keeping the vehicle in the lane.
Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speeds
above 80 km/h when driving straight aheador
cornering gently.
Important safety notes Crosswind Assist does not work if ESP ®
is deac-
tivated or disabled because of amalfunction. EBD (electroni
cbrake force distribu-
tion)
General notes EBD monitors and controls the brake pressure
on the rear wheelstoi
mprove driving stability
whileb raking.
Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 66). G
WARNING
If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheelsc an
lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the risk of skidding and an accident.
You shouldt herefore adapt yourd riving style
to the different handling characteristics. Have the brake system checked at
aqualifieds pe-
cialist workshop.
Observe information regarding indicator and
warning lamps( Ypage 287) as well as display
messages (Y page 256). ADAPTIVE BRAKE
ADAPTIVE BRAKE enhances braking safety and
offers increased braking comfort. In addition to
the braking function, ADAPTIVE BRAKE also has
the HOLD function (Y page 192) and hill start
assist (Y page 149). PRE-SAFE

Brake
General notes PRE-SAFE

i Pay attention to the important safety notes
in the "Driving safety systems" section
(Y page 66).
PRE‑SAFE ®
Brake is only available in vehicles
with the Driving Assistance Plusp ackage.
For PRE-SAFE ®
Brake to assist you when driving,
the radars ensor system and the camera system
must be switched on and operational.
With the help of the radars ensor system and the
camera system, PRE-SAFE ®
Brake can detect
obstacle sthat are in front of yourv ehicle for an
extended period of time.
In addition, pedestrians in the path of yourv ehi-
cle can be detected.
PRE-SAFE ®
Brake detects pedestrians using
typica lcharacteristics such as the body con-
tours and posture of aperson standing upright.

WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system can become very
hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you
could burn yourself by touching the exhaust
system. There is arisk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make aleg movement
within the detection range of sensors.
! If the key is within the rear detection range
of KEYLESS-GO, the following situations, for
example ,could leadtot he boot lid opening
unintentionally:
R using acar wash
R using ahigh-pressure cleaner
Make sure that the key is at least 3maway
from the vehicle.
General notes With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS,
you can open or close the boot lid or stop the
procedure withou
tusing yourh ands. This is use-
ful if you have yourh ands full.Todothis, make
ak icking movement under the bumperw ith your

R Carry yourK EYLESS-GO key abouty ourp er-
son. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in the rear detection range of the vehicle.
R When making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle .You could otherwise
lose yourb alance, e.g. on ice. R
Alwayse nsure that you only make akicking
movement within the detection range of sen- sors :.
R Stand at least 30 cm awayf rom the rear area
whiled oing so.
R Do not come into contact with the bumper
whilem aking the kicking movement. Other-
wise,t he sensors may not function correctly.
R HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
R Dirt causedbyr oad salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with apros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
R IfaK EYLESS-GO key is within the rear detec-
tion range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-FREE
ACCESS could be triggered. The boot lid could
