Overview of driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information about
the following driving safety systems:
R ABS ( Anti-lock BrakingSystem)
R BAS ( Brake Assist System)
R BAS PLUS ( BrakeAssist System Plus*)
R Adaptive brake lamps
R ESP ®
(Electronic StabilityProgram)
R EBD ( Electronic Brake-power Distribution)
R ADAPTIVE BRAKE
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake (vehicles with DIS-
TRONIC PLUS) Important safety notes
G
Risk of accident
The risk of an accident is significantly
increased by driving too fast. This is particu-
larly the case when cornerin gaswell as on
wet or slippery roads or when driving too close
to the vehicle in front. The driving safet
ysystems described in this
sectio ncan neither reduce this risk nor over-
ride the laws of physics.
For this reason, always adapt your driving
style to the prevailing road and weather con-
ditions. Maintain sufficient distance from
other road users and objects on the road.
i In wintry driving conditions, always use
winter tyres (M+S tyres) and if necessary,
snow chains. Only in this way will the driv-
ing safety systems described in this section
work as effectively as possible. ABS (Anti-loc
kBrakin gSystem)
Im portan tsafety guidelines G
Ris
kofa ccident
Do not depress the brak epedal several times
in quick succession (pumping). Depress the
brak efirmly and evenly. Pumping the brake
pedal reduces the braking effect.
ABS regulates brake pressure in such away
that the wheels do not lock when you brake.
This allows you to continue steerin gthe vehi-
cle when brakin g.
AB Sw orksfrom aspeed of about 8km/h
upwards, regardless of road-surface condi-
tions. ABS works on slippery surfaces, even
when yo uonly brake gently.
Braking If ABS intervenes whe

ap ulsing in the brake pedal.
X If ABS intervenes: continue to depressthe
brake pedal with for ceuntil the braking sit-
uation is over.
X To mak eafull brake application:
depress th ebrake peda lwith full force. G
Risk of accident
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking. This limits the steerability of the vehi- Driving safet

nbraking and th ebraking dist ance
may increas e.
If ABS is de activated due to amalfunction,
then BAS and ESP are als odeactivated. There
is an increase drisk of you rvehicle skidding in
cer tain situations.
You should always adapt your drivin gstyle to
suit the prevailing road and weather condi-
tions.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions and func-
tions as areminder to take extra car ewhile
driving. BAS (Br
akeA ssist)
BA So perates in emergency braking situa-
tions. If you depress the brak epedal quickly,
BAS automatically boosts the braking for ce,
thus shortening the stopping distance.
X Keep the brake peda lfirmly depressed until
the emergency brakin gsituation is over.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual onc eyou
release the brake pedal. BA Sisd eactiva ted. G
Risk of accident
If BAS has malfunctioned, the braking system
remains available with ful lbrake boosting
effect. However, braking force is not auto-
matically increased in emergency braking sit-
uations and th estoppi ngdistanc emay
increase. BAS PLUS (Brake Assis
tPLUS)
BAS PLU Sprovide sbraking assistance in haz-
ardou ssituation sand use sradar senso rtech-
nology to assess the traffic situation. G
Risk of accident
BAS PLU Siso nly an aid to assist you when
driving. You are responsible for maintaining a
safe distanc efrom other vehicles ,for the vehi-
cle' sspeed and for braking in good time. Alway
spay attention to the traffic conditions.
Otherwise, you may recognise dangers too
late, cause an acciden tand injure yourself
and others.
BAS PLUS can detect obstacle sthat ar einthe
pat hofyour vehicle for an extended period of
time. Should you appr oachad etected obsta-
cle quickly, BA SPLUSc alculates the braking
force necessary to avoid arear-end collision.
Should you additionally apply th ebrakes, BAS
PLUS wil lautomatically increase the braking
force to alevel suitabl efor the traffic condi-
tions.
If BA SPLUS demands particularl yhigh brak-
ing force, PRE-SAFE ®
is activated simultane-
ously.
X Keep the brak epedal depressed until the
emergency braking situation is over.
AB Sp revents th ewheels fr om lockin g.
The bra kesw ill work normally again when:
R you release the brak epedal
R no obstacle is detected in fr ontof your
vehicle
R there is no longer any danger of arear-end
collision
BA SP LUS is then deactivated.
At speeds up to appro ximately 70 km/h ,BAS
PLU Scan also detect stationary obstacles,
for example, stopped or parked vehicles.
The radar sensor system is switched off auto-
matically in the vicinit yofradio telescope
facilities (Y page 324).
For BA SPLUS to assist yo uwhen driving, the
radar sensor system must be switched on and
operational. You can chec kthis by activating
DI ST RONIC PLUS (Y page 160) or via the
"rada rsensor "function in the on-board com-
puter (Y page 208). G
Risk of accident
Only clearly identified obstacles will initiate

Deactivating/activating ESP ®ESP
®
is activated automatically when the
engine is running.
It may be best to deactivate ESP ®
in the fol-
lowing situations:
R when using snow chains
R in deep snow
R on sand or gravel G
Risk of accident
Activate ESP ®
as soon as the situations
described above no longer apply. ESP ®
will
otherwise not be able to stabilis ethe vehicle
if the vehicle star tsto skid or awheel star ts
to spin.
If you deactivate ESP ®
:
R ESP ®
no longer improves driving stability.
R the engine's torque is no longer limited and
the drive wheels can spin. The spinnin gof
the wheels results in acutting action, which
provides better grip.
R traction control is still activated.
R ESP ®
still provides support when you
brake.
If ESP ®
is deactivated and one or more wheels
start to spin, the äwarning lamp in the
instrument cluster flashes .Insuch situations,
ESP ®
will not stabilise the vehicle.
X To deactivate:(Y page 203).
The å warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up. G
Risk of accident
If the å warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the engine is running, ESP
®
is deactivated or is unavailable due to a
malfunc tion. The risk that your vehicle may
star ttos kid then increase sincertain situa-
tions.
Alway sadapt your driving style to the prevail-
ing road and weather conditions.
X To activate:(Y page 203).
The å warning lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out.
ESP ®
trailer stabilisation If your trailer begins to lurch, you can only
stabilise the vehicle/
trailer combination by
depressing the brake firmly.
In this situation, ESP ®
assists you and can
detect if the trailer begins to lurch. ESP ®
slows the vehicle down by brakin gand limit-
ing the engine output until the vehicle/trailer
combination has stabilised.
Traile rstabilisatio nisa ctive above speed sof
about 65 km/h. G
Risk of accident
If road and weather conditions are poor,
trailer stabilisatio nwill not be able to prevent
the trailer from swerving and will thus be
unable to reduce the risk of an accident .Trail-
ers wit hahigh centr eofgravity can tip over
before ESP ®
can detec tthis.
Trailer stabilisation does not work if ESP ®
is
deactivated or disable dbecause of amal-
function. EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribu-
tion)
EBD monitors and controls the brake pres-
sure on the rear wheels to improve driving
stability while braking. G
Risk of accident
If EBV is malfunctioning, the brake system is
still available with full brake boosting effect.
However, the rear wheels can still lock, e.g. 58
