lock MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 2019 Manual PDF

For this reason, in the event of heavy rain or inconditions in which hydroplaning may occur,you must drive in the following manner:
Rlower your speed
Ravoid ruts
Ravoid sudden steering movements
Rbrake carefully
Driving on flooded roads
!Do not drive through flooded areas. Checkthe depth of any water before driving throughit. Drive slowly through standing water. Oth-erwise, water could enter the vehicle interioror engine compartment. It can then damagethe engine's or automatic transmission'selectronic components. It can also be suckedin by the engine's air intake connection andcause engine damage.
Winter driving
GWARNING
If you shift down on a slippery road surface in
an attempt to increase the engine's braking
effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip.
There is an increased danger of skidding and
accidents.
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery road surface.
GDANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous gases
such as carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the
vehicle. This is the case, e.g. if the vehicle
becomes trapped in snow. There is a risk of
fatal injury.
If you leave the engine or the auxiliary heating
running, make sure the exhaust pipe and area
around the vehicle are clear of snow. To
ensure an adequate supply of fresh air, open a
window on the side of the vehicle that is not
facing into the wind.
Have your vehicle winter-proofed at a qualifiedspecialist workshop at the onset of winter.
Drive particularly carefully on slippery road sur-faces. Avoid sudden acceleration, steering andbraking maneuvers. Do not use cruise control orActive Distance Assist DISTRONIC.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot bestopped when moving at low speed:
XShift the transmission to position\\.
XTry to bring the vehicle under control usingcorrective steering.
The outside temperature indicator is notdesigned to serve as an ice-warning device andis therefore unsuitable for that purpose.Changes in the outside temperature are dis-played after a short delay.
Indicated temperatures just above the freezingpoint do not guarantee that the road surface isfree of ice. The road may still be icy, especially inwooded areas or on bridges.
You should pay special attention to road condi-tions when temperatures are around freezingpoint.
For more information on driving with snowchains, see (Ypage 293).
For more information on driving with summertires, see (Ypage 292).
Observe the notes in the "Winter operation" sec-tion (Ypage 292).
Driving systems
Cruise control
General notes
Cruise control maintains a constant road speedfor you. It brakes automatically in order to avoidexceeding the set speed. On long and steepdownhill gradients, especially if the vehicle isladen, you must select a low gear in good time.You need to shift manually using the steeringwheel paddle shifters beforehand. By doing so,you will make use of the braking effect of theengine. This relieves the load on the brake sys-tem and prevents the brakes from overheatingand wearing too quickly.
When the engine is running, you can use thecruise control lever to limit the speed to anyspeed between 20 mph (30 km/h) and the tech-nically permitted maximum speed of the vehicle.
Use cruise control if road and traffic conditionsmake it appropriate to maintain a steady speedfor a prolonged period.

Driving and parking

Parking tips:
ROn narrow roads, drive as close to the parkingspace as possible
RParking spaces that are littered or overgrownmight be identified or measured incorrectly
RParking spaces that are partially occupied bytrailer drawbars might not be identified assuch or be measured incorrectly
RSnowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parkingspace being measured inaccurately
RPay attention to the warning messages ofParking Assist PARKTRONIC during the park-ing procedure (Ypage 164).
RYou can intervene in the steering procedureto correct it at any time. Active Parking Assistwill then be canceled
RWhen transporting a load which protrudesfrom your vehicle, you should not use ActiveParking Assist
RNever use Active Parking Assist when snowchains are installed
RMake sure that the tire pressures are alwayscorrect. This has a direct influence on theparking characteristics of the vehicle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces:
Rthat are parallel or at right-angles to the direc-tion of travel
Ron straight roads, not bends
Ron the same level as the road, e.g. not on thepavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the detection range ofActive Parking Assist will not be detected whenthe parking space is measured. These are nottaken into account when the parking procedureis calculated, e.g. overhanging loads, truck over-hangs or loading ramps. Active Parking Assistmay therefore guide you into the parking spacetoo early.
Active Parking Assist does not support you park-ing in spaces at right angles to the direction oftravel if:
Rtwo parking spaces are located directly nextto one another
Rthe parking space is directly next to a lowobstacle such as a low curb
Ryou park forwards
Active Parking Assist does not support you park-ing in spaces that are parallel or at right anglesto the direction of travel if:
Rthe parking space is on a curb
Rthe system reads the parking space as beingblocked, for example by foliage or grass pav-ing blocks
Rthe area is too small for the vehicle to maneu-ver into
Rthe parking space is bordered by an obstacle,e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
Further information about the detection range(Ypage 163).
GWARNING
If there are objects above the detection range:
Rthe Parking Package with rear view camera
may steer too early
Rthe vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects
This could cause a collision. There is a risk of
an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate the Parking Pack-
age with rear view camera.

Lane Keeping Assist
General notes
Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front ofyour vehicle by means of multifunction cam-eraCwhich is attached behind the top of thewindshield. Lane Keeping Assist detects lanemarkings on the road and can warn you beforeyou leave your lane unintentionally.
This function is available in the range between40 mph and 120 mph (60 km/h and 200 km/h).
A warning may be given if a front wheel passesover a lane marking. It will warn you by means ofintermittent vibration in the steering wheel forup to 1.5 seconds.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Lane Keeping Assist cannot always clearly
detect lane markings.
In such cases, Lane Keeping Assist can:
Rgive an unnecessary warning
Rnot give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and keep within the lane, especially
if Lane Keeping Assist alerts you.
GWARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not
return the vehicle to the original lane. There is
a risk of an accident.
You should always steer, brake or accelerate
yourself, in particular if warned by Lane Keep-
ing Assist.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keep-ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of an acci-dent nor override the laws of physics. LaneKeeping Assist cannot take into account theroad, traffic and weather conditions. Lane Keep-ing Assist is merely an aid. You are responsiblefor the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-cle speed, for braking in good time and for stay-ing in your lane.
The Lane Keeping Assist does not keep the vehi-cle in the lane.
The system may be impaired or may not functionif:
Rthere is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficientillumination of the road, or due to snow, rain,fog or spray
Rthere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, thesun or reflection from other vehicles (e.g. ifthe road surface is wet)
Rthe windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged orcovered, for instance by a sticker, in the vicin-ity of the camera
Rthere are no or several unclear lane markingsfor one lane, e.g. roadworks
Rthe lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
Rthe distance to the vehicle in front is too shortand thus the lane markings cannot be detec-ted
Rthe lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanesbranch off, cross one another or merge
Rthe road is narrow and winding
Rthere are highly variable shade conditions onthe roadway
Switching on Lane Keeping Assist
XSwitch on Active Lane Keeping Assist usingthe on-board computer; to do so, selectStandardStandardorAdaptiveAdaptive(Ypage 176).If you drive at speeds above 40 mph(60 km/h) and lane markings are detected,the lines in the assistance graphic are shown
