Fu nctions of ABS (anti-lock braking sy stem)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
RDuring braking, the wheels are pr evented
from blocking, e.g. due tomaximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tires.
RVe hicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, youwill feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving.
Sy stem limitations
RABS is active from speeds of appr ox. 5 mph
(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occur red and theye l‐

Fu nction of BAS (Brake Assist Sy stem)
&
WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys‐
te m)
If BA S is malfunctioning, the braking dis tance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.

#Depress the brake pedal with full forc e
in emer gency braking situations. ABS
pr eve nts the wheels from locking.
BA S suppo rts yo ur eme rgency braking situation
with additional brake forc e.
If yo udepr essthe brake pedal quickl y,BA S is
acti vated:
RBA S au tomatical lyboosts the brake pres‐
sure.
RBA S can short enthe braking dis tance.
RABS pr events the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you
re lease the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
Functions of ESP®(Electronic Stability Pro‐
gr am)
&
WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP®is
malfunctioning
If ESP
®is malfunctioning, ESP®cannot car ry
out vehicle stabilization. In addition, other
driving saf etysy stems are switched off.
#Drive on carefull y.
#Have ESP®checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
&
WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP®is
deactivated
If yo u deactivate ESP
®, ESP®cannot car ry
out vehicle stabilization.
#ESP®should only be deactivated in the
fo llowing situations.
ESP®monitors and impr oves driving stability and
traction, particular ly inthefo llowing situations:
RWhen pulling away on wet or slippe ryroads.
RWhen braking.
RIn stro ng sidewinds when you are driving
fast erthan 50 mph (80 km/h).
ESP
®can stabilize theve hicle byinter vening in
th efo llowing ways:
ROne or more wheels are braked.
RThe engine output is adap ted according to
th e situation.
ESP
®is deactivated if the ESP®OFF å warn‐
ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument
clus ter:
RDriving stability will no longe r be improved.
RCrosswind Assist is no longer active.
RThe drive wheels could spin.
RETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
% Even when ESP
®is deactivated, you are still
assis tedby ESP®when braking.
ESP
®is inter vening if the ESP®÷ warning
lamp flashes in the instrument clus ter:
RDo not deacti vate ESP®.

ROnly depressthe accelera tor pedal as far as
is necessar y.
RAdapt your drivin gst yle to suit the cur rent
ro ad and weather conditions.
Deactivate ESP
®in thefo llowing situations to
impr ove traction:
Rwhen using snow chains
Rin deep snow
Ron sand or gr avel
% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action which pr ovides better grip. ESP
®is deactivated if
theå ESP®OFFwarn‐
ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument
clus ter.
If th e ESP
®÷ warning lamp lights up continu‐
ousl y,ESP®is not available due toa malfunction.

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction Sy stem)
ETS/4E TStraction control is pa rtof ESP
®. ETS/4ETS can impr
ovetheve hicle's traction by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
RThe drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
RMore drive torque is transferred tothe wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive prog rams on ESP
®
The drive prog rams enable ESP®to adapt todif‐
fe re nt we ather and road conditions as well as

Fu nctions of ESP®Crosswind Assist
ESP®Crosswind Assist de tects sudden gust s of
side wind and helps the driver tokeep theve hi‐
cle in the lane:
RESP®Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle
speeds between 50 mph (80 km/h) and
12 5mp h (200 km/h) when driving stra ight
ahead or cornering slightly.
RThe vehicle is stabilized bymeans of individ‐
ual brake application on one side.
Fu nction of EBD (Electronic Brake forc e Dis‐
tribution)
EBD is characterized bythefo llowing:
RMonitoring and regulating the brake pressure
on there ar wheels.
RImpr oved driving stability when braking,
especially on bends.
Fu nction of STEER CONT ROL
STEER CONTRO L helpsyouby transmitting a
noticeable steering forc eto thesteering wheel in
th e direction requiredforve hicle stabilization.
This steering recommendation is given part icu‐
lar lyin thefo llowing situations:
RBo th right wheels or bo thleft wheels are on
a we t or slippe ryroad sur face when you
brake.
RThe vehicle starts toskid. Sy

ST EER CONTROL may be impaired or may not
function in thefo llowing situations:

fur ther by the electric po werst eering.
Fu nction of Active Brake Assi st
Active Brake Assi stconsist s of:
RDistance warning function
RAu tonomous braking function
RSituation-dependent braking assist ance
RVehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: Evasi veSteering Assist
Ac tive Brake Assi stcan help youto minimize the
ri sk of a collision with vehicles or pedestrians or
to reduce the ef fects of such a collision.

IfAc tive Brake Assi sthas de tected a risk of colli‐
sion, youwill be warned visually and acousti‐
cally.
If yo udo not react tothe visual or acoustic warn‐
ing, autonomous braking can be initiated in criti‐
cal situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake
Assi stcan initiate autonomous braking direct ly.
In this case, the visual and acoustic warning
occurs simultaneously with the braking applica‐
tion.
If yo uappl yth e brake yourself ina critical situa‐
tion or applyth e brake during autonomous brak‐
ing, situation-dependent braking assis tance
occurs . This increases the brake pressure up to
maximum full-s top braking if necessar y.
If th e autonomous braking function or the situa‐
tion-dependent braking assis tance is trig gered,
additional pr eventive measure sfo r occupant pr
otection (PRE-SAFE®) may also be initiated, if
th eve hicle is equipped with these.

WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
limited de tection per form ance of Active
Brake Assi st
Ac tive Brake Assi stcannot al ways clear ly
identify objects and complex traf fic situa‐
tions.
In such cases,Active Brake Assi stmight:
Rgive an unnecessa rywa rning or brake the
ve hicle
Rnot give a warning or not brake theve hi‐
cle.
#Alw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation; do not rely on Active Brake
Assi stalone.
#Be ready tobrake and take evasive
action if necessar y.
Also observethe sy stem limitations of Active
Brake Assi st.
The individual subfunctions are available in
th efo llowing speed ranges:
Distance warning function
The dis tance warning function issues a warning
at speeds:
RFr om appr oximately 4 mph (7 km/h), if your

sounds and the· distance warning lamp
lights up in the instrument clus ter.
Brake immediately or take evasive action, pr ovi‐
ded it is safe todo so.
