&WARNING Risk of accident caused by
limited de tection per form ance of Drive
Aw ayAssist
Drive AwayAssist cannot al ways clearly iden‐
tify objects and traf fic situations.
In such cases, Drive AwayAssist might:
RWarnyouwit hout reason and limit the
ve hicle speed.
RNot warnyou or not limittheve hicle
speed.
#Alw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation; do not rely on Driv eAw ay
Assist alone.
#Be prepared tobrake or swer veif nec‐
essar y.
Drive AwayAssist is only an aid. It is not a sub‐
st itute foryo ur attention tothe sur roundings.
The responsibility for safe maneu vering and
pa rking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
maneu vering range. A
risk of a collision may arise in thefo llowing sit‐
uations, forex ample:
RIfth e driver mixes up the accelera tor and
brake pedals.
RIf th e wrong gear is selecte d.
The Drive AwayAssist function is active under
th efo llowing conditions:
RIf Pa rking Assist PARKTRONI Cis activated.
REver ytime thege ar is changed tok orh
when theve hicle is at a standstill.
RIf th e de tected obs tacle is less than appr ox.
3.3 ft(1.0 m) away.
RIfth e maneuvering assis tance function is
acti vated in the multimedia sy stem.
Drive AwayAssist is unavailable on inclines and
when driving with a trailer.
Cross Traf fic Alert
% Also read the instructions on Blind Spot
Assist (
→page 198).
Ve hicles with Blind Spot Assis t:Dr ivers can
also be warned of any crossing traf fic when re
ve rsing out of a parking space. If a critical sit‐
uation is de tected, a warning symbol appears on
th e camera image of the multimedia sy stem. If
th e driver does n
otrespond tothewa rning, the
ve hicle's brakes can be applied automaticall y.To
do this, the function uses thera dar sensors in
th e bumper. The area adjacent totheve hicle is
continually monitored.
If th era dar sensors are obstructed byvehicles
or other objects, de tection is not possible.
The Cross Traf fic Alert function is acti veunder
th efo llowing conditions:
RIf Blind Spot Assist is activated.
RIf th eve hicle is reve rsing at walking pace.
RIfth e maneuvering assis tance function is
acti vated in the multimedia sy stem.
Cross Traf fic Alert is una vailable on inclines and
when driving with a trailer.

If a course-correcting brake application occurs ,
th ere dwa rning lamp flashes in the outside mir‐
ro r and a warning tone sounds. In addition, dis‐
pl ay 1 indicating the danger of a side collision
appears in the multifunction displa y.
In rare cases, the sy stem may make an inappro‐
priate brake application. This brake application
may be inter rupte d at any time if yousteer
slightly in the opposite direction or accelera te. Sy
stem limitations
Either a course-cor recting brake application
appropria teto the driving situation, or none at
all, may occur in thefo llowing situations:
RThere are vehicles or obs tacles, e.g. crash
barr iers, on bo thsides of your vehicle.
RAve hicle approaches too closely on the side.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards: a
uniform standard tograde thequ ality of tires
with rega rd totread quality, tire traction and
te mp erature characteristics. The quality grading
assessment is made bythe manufacturer follow‐
ing specifications from theU. S. go vernment. The
qu ality grade of a tire is imprinted on the side
wa ll of the tire.
Re commended tire pressure :th ere commen‐
ded tire pressure is the tire pressure specified
fo rth e tires mounted totheve hicle at thefa c‐
to ry.
The tire and information table conta insthere c‐
ommended tire pressure for cold tires, the maxi‐
mum permissible load and the maximum permis‐
sible vehicle speed.
The tire pressure table conta insthere commen‐
ded tire pressure for cold tires under various
operating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speed
of theve hicle.
Increased vehicle weight due tooptional
equipment: the combined weight of all standard
and optional equipment available forth eve hicle, re
ga rdless of whe ther it is actually ins talled on
th eve hicle or not.
Rim: the part of the wheel on which the tire is
mounted.
GA WR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): the GAWR
is the maximum gross axle load. The actual load
on an axle must ne verexc eed the gross axle
we ight rating. The gross axl e
we ight rati
ng can
be found on theve hicle identification plate on
th e B‑pillar on the driver's side.
Speed rating: the speed rating is pa rtof the tire
identification. It specifies the speed range for
which a tire is appr oved.
GV W (Gross Vehicle Weight): the gross vehicle
we ight comprises thewe ight of theve hicle
including fuel, tools, the spare wheel, accesso‐
ri es ins talled, occupants, luggage and the trailer
dr aw bar nose weight, if applicable. The gross
ve hicle weight must not exceed the gross vehicle
we ight rating GVWR as specified on theve hicle
identification plate on the B‑pillar on the driver's
side.
GV WR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): the
GV WR is the maximum permitted gross weight of
the fully laden vehicle (weight of theve hicle
including all accessories, occupants, fuel, lug‐
ga ge and the trailer dr awbar nose weight if appli‐
cable). The gross vehicle weight rating is speci‐
fi ed on theve hicle identification plate on the
B‑pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum weight of the laden vehicle: the
maximum weight is the sum of the unladen
we ight of theve hicle, thewe ight of the accesso‐
ri es, the maximum load and thewe ight of
optional equipment ins talled at thefa ctor y.
Kilopascal (kPa): metricunit for tire pressure .
6.9 kPa cor responds to1 psi. Ano ther unit for
tire pressure is bar.100 kilop ascal (kPa
) equals
1 bar.
Load index: in additiontothe load-bearing
index, the load index may also be imprinted on
th e side wall of the tire. This specifies the load-
bearing capacity of the tire more precisel y.
Curb weight: thewe ight of a vehicle with stand‐
ard equipment including the maximum capacity
of fuel, oil and coolant. It also includes the air
conditioning sy stem and optional equipment if
