Pets in the vehicle
GWARNING
If you leave animals unattended or unsecured
in the vehicle, they could press buttons or
switches, for example.
As a result, they could:
Ractivate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
Ractivate or deactivate systems, thereby
endangering other road users
Unsecured animals could also be flung around
the vehicle in the event of an accident or sud-
den steering or braking, thereby injuring vehi-
cle occupants. There is a risk of an accident
and injury.
Never leave animals unattended in the vehi-
cle. Always secure animals properly during
the journey, e.g. use a suitable animal trans-
port box.
Driving safety systems
Overview of driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information about
the following driving safety systems:
RABS (Anti-lock BrakingSystem)
(Ypage 55)
RBAS ( Brake Assist System) (Ypage 56)
RAdaptive brake lights (Ypage 56)
RESP®(Electronic StabilityProgram)
(Ypage 57)
REBD ( Electronic Brake force Distribution)
(Ypage 58)
RADAPTIVE BRAKE (Ypage 59)
RTrailer stabilization
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The ABS, the BAS, and the ESP
®switch off
when the differential locks are switched on.
When the ABS, the BAS, and the ESP
®are
switched off
Rwheels may lock during hard braking
Rsteering capabilities are reduced
Rbraking distance is increased
Rvehicle stability in standard driving maneu-
vers is increased
Make sure the differential locks are switched on at all times except when driving off-road for
example. Switch on the differential locks
immediately when returning from off-road
driving.
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are
inattentive, the driving safety systems can nei-
ther reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. Driving safety systems are
merely aids designed to assist driving. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good
time. Always adapt your driving style to suit the
prevailing road and weather conditions and
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front. Drive carefully.
iPlease note that the driving safety systems
described only work as effectively as possible
if there is adequate contact between the tires
and the road surface. Pay particular attention
to the information regarding tires, recommen-
ded minimum tire tread depths etc. in the
"Wheels and tires" section (
Ypage 262).
In wintry driving conditions, always use winter
tires (M+S tires) and if necessary, snow
chains. Only in this way will the driving safety
systems described in this section work as
effectively as possible.

tion has switched off automatically. The vehi-
cle's electrical system voltage is too low
because too many electrical consumers are
switched on.

Steering wheel EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea-
ture
Important safety notes
GWARNING
When the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature adjusts
the steering wheel and the driver's seat, you
and other vehicle occupants – particularly
children – could become trapped. There is a
risk of injury.
While the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is mak-
ing adjustments, make sure that no one has
any body parts in the sweep of the seat and
the steering wheel.
If somebody becomes trapped:
Rpress one of the memory function position
buttons, or
Rpress one of the memory function memory
buttons, or
Rmove the switch for steering wheel adjust-
ment in the opposite direction to that in
which the steering wheel is moving
The adjustment process is stopped.
GWARNING
If you drive off while the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT
feature is making adjustments, you could lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always wait until the adjustment process is
complete before driving off.
!Do not activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea-
ture, if the seat backrest is reclined too far
backwards. This can damage the front or rear
seats. You must first move the backrest to a
vertical position.
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting in
and out of your vehicle easier.
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board computer
(
Ypage 181).
Position of the steering wheel when the
EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is active
The steering wheel moves upwards and towards
the dashboard if:
Ryou remove the SmartKey from the ignition
lock or
Ryou open the driver's door with the SmartKey
in position 0or 1in the ignition lock
iThe steering wheel only moves upwards and
towards the dashboard if it has not already
reached the upper steering limiter.

pants – particularly children – could become
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
While the memory function is making adjust-
ments, make sure that no one has any body
parts in the sweep of the seat or steering
wheel. If somebody becomes trapped, imme-diately release the memory function position
button. The adjustment process is stopped.
GWARNING
Children could become trapped if they acti-
vate the memory function, particularly when
unattended. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
With the memory function, you can store up to
three different settings, e.g. for three different
people.
The following settings are stored as a single
memory preset:
Rposition of the seat, backrest and head
restraint
Rdriver's side: steering wheel position
Rdriver's side: position of the exterior mirrors
on the driver's and front-passenger sides
XMake sure that the SmartKey is in position 2
(Ypage 112) or that the respective door is
open.
XAdjust the seat (Ypage 74) and head restraint
(Ypage 74).
XOn the driver's side, adjust the steering wheel (Ypage 78) and the exterior mirrors
(Ypage 80).
XPress the Mmemory button.
XPress one of memory buttons 1,2or 3within
three seconds.
The settings are stored in the selected stor-
age position.
Calling up a stored setting
!
If you want to move the seat from the fully
reclined position to a stored seat position,
first raise the backrest using the seat switch.
The seat could otherwise be damaged.
XPress and hold the relevant memory button 1,
2 or 3, until the seat, head restraints, steering
wheel and mirrors are in the stored position.
iThe setting procedure is interrupted as soon

tions on optimum use of dual-zone climate con-
trol.
RActivate climate control using theÃand
Á buttons. The indicator lamps in the
à andÁ buttons light up.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
ROnly use the defrosting function briefly until
the windshield is clear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
RUse the ZONE function to adopt the temper-
ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side as well. The indicator
lamp in the
ábutton goes out.
