pre-em ptive measures toprotect theve hicle
occupants. These measures cannot necessarily
pr eve nt an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
R Activating there ar hazard warning lights at a
higher flashing frequenc y.
R Increasing brake pressure when theve hicle
is stationar y.This brake application is cancel‐
led automatically when theve hicle pulls
aw ay.
If an accident did not occur, the pre-em ptive
measures that we retake n are reve rsed. Sy

ety sy stems Driving sy
stems and your responsibility Yo
ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are only
aids. They are not a substitute foryo ur attention
to the sur roundings and do not relie ve you of
yo ur responsibility per taining toroad traf fic la w. The driver is alw
aysre sponsible for maintaining
a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle
speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ing
in lane. Pay attention tothe tra ffic conditions at
all times and inter vene when necessa ry. Be
aw are of the limitations rega rding the safe use of
th ese sy stems.
Driving sy stems can neither reduce therisk of
accident if youfa ilto adapt your driving style nor
ove rride the la wsof ph ysics. They cannot alw ays
ta ke into account road, weather or traf fic condi‐
tions. In

%
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, the
ra dar sensors are integ rated behind the
bumpers and/or behind thera diator grille.
Some driving and driving saf ety sy stems use
cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors
to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to
th eve hicle.
Ke ep the areas around the sensors and cameras
free of dirt, ice or slush (/ page 305). The cam‐
eras and sensors must not be co vered, forex am‐
ple bybicycle rack s, overhanging loads, sticke rs,
fo il or foils toprotect against stone chipping.
Ad ditional licence plate brac kets can impair the
function of the ultrasonic sensors and camera
sy stems, in particular.
In theeve nt of dama geor a se vere impact in the
area of the sensors, ha vethe function of the
sensors checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Ha vedamage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras repaired at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop. If the sensors or cameras are dam‐ aged, some driving sy
stems and driving saf ety
sy stems may no longer function proper ly. Overview of driving sy

nction of ABS The Anti-lock Brake Sy
stem (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
R During braking, e.g. at full brake application
or insuf ficient tyre traction, the wheels are
pr eve nted from lo cking.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will 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. Fu
