Protecting the environment
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
that form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
that takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are affected
by these factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
Ravoid short trips as these increase fuel con-
sumption.
Ralways make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight.
Rremove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
Ra regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
Ralways have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
Rdo not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
Rchange gear in good time and use each gear
only up to

Driving safety systems
Overview of driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information aboutthe following driving safety systems:
RABS (Anti-lockBrakingSystem)(Ypage 65)
RBAS (BrakeAssistSystem) (Ypage 66)
RActive Brake Assist (Ypage 66)
RESP®(ElectronicStabilityProgram)(Ypage 68)
REBD (ElectronicBrake forceDistribution)(Ypage 72)
RADAPTIVE BRAKE (Ypage 72)
RActive Brake Assist with cross-traffic function(Ypage 72)
RSTEER CONTROL (Ypage 75)
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you areinattentive, the driving safety systems can nei-ther reduce the risk of an accident nor overridethe laws of physics. Driving safety systems aremerely aids designed to assist driving. You areresponsible for maintaining the distance to thevehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking ingood time, and for staying in lane. Always adaptyour driving style to suit the prevailing road andweather conditions and maintain a safe distancefrom the vehicle in front. Drive carefully.
The driving safety systems described only workas effectively as possible when there is ade-quate contact between the tires and the roadsurface. Pay particular attention to the informa-tion regarding tires, recommended minimumtire tread depths etc. in the "Wheels and tires"section (Ypage 330).
In wintry driving conditions, always use wintertires (M+S tires)and if necessary, snow chains.Only in this way will the driving safety systemsdescribed in this section work as effectively aspossible.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General information
ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way thatthe wheels do not lock when you brake. Thisallows you to continue steering the vehicle whenbraking.
The%ABS warning lamp in the instrumentcluster lights up when the ignition is switchedon. It goes out when the engine is running.
ABS works from a speed of about 5 mph(8 km/h), regardless of road-surface conditions.ABS works on slippery surfaces, even when youonly brake gently.
Important safety notes
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-tion (Ypage 65).
GWARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking. The steerability and braking charac-
teristics may be severely impaired. Addition-
ally, further driving safety systems are deac-
tivated. There is an increased danger of skid-
ding and accidents.
Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked imme-
diately at a qualified specialist workshop.
When ABS is malfunctioning, other systems,including driving safety systems, will alsobecome inoperative. Observe the informationon the ABS warning lamp (Ypage 259) and dis-play messages which may be shown in theinstrument cluster (Ypage 228).
Braking
XIf ABS intervenes:continue to depress thebrake pedal vigorously until the braking sit-uation is over.
XTo make a full brake application:depressthe brake pedal with full force.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel apulsing in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indicationof hazardous road conditions, and functions as areminder to take extra care while driving.
Driving safety systems65
Safety
Z

Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers adistance of 44 ft (approximately 14m)per sec-ond.
Drive sensibly – save fuel
Observe the following tips to save fuel:
XThe tires should always be inflated to the rec-ommended tire pressure.
XRemove unnecessary loads.
XRemove roof racks when they are not needed.
XWarm up the engine at low engine speeds.
XAvoid frequent acceleration or braking.
XHave all maintenance work carried out asindicated by the service intervals in the Main-tenance Booklet or by the service interval dis-play.
Fuel consumption also increases when driving incold weather, in stop-start traffic and in hilly ter-rain.
Drinking and driving
GWARNING
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and
driving are very dangerous combinations.
Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can
affect your reflexes, perceptions and judg-
ment.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal acci-
dent is greatly increased when you drink or
take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or tak-
ing drugs.
Emission control
GDANGER
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases is hazardous to health
and can result in poisoning. There is a risk of
fatal injury. Therefore, never leave the engine
running an enclosed space without adequate
ventilation.
Certain engine systems are designed to keepthe level of poisonous components in exhaustfumes within legal limits.
These systems only work at peak efficiency ifthey are serviced exactly in accordance with themanufacturer's specifications. Always havework on the engine carried out at a qualifiedspecialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recom-mends that you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose. In particular, workrelevant to safety or on safety-related systemsmust be carried out at a qualified specialistworkshop.
The engine settings must not be changed underany circumstances. Furthermore, all specificservice work must be carried out at regularintervals and in accordance with the Mercedes-Benz service requirements. Details can be foundin the Maintenance Booklet.
ECO display
The ECO display shows you how economicalyour driving style is. The ECO display assists youin achieving the most economical driving stylefor the selected settings and prevailing condi-tions. Your driving style can significantly influ-ence the vehicle's consumption.
CAcceleration
DCoasting

Rthe distance to the vehicle in front is too shortand thus the lane markings cannot be detec-ted
Rthe lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanesbranch off, cross one another or merge
Rthe road is narrow and winding
Rthere are highly variable shade conditions onthe roadway
The system is switched to passive and no longerassists you by performing steering interventionsif:
Ryou actively change lane
Ryou switch on the turn signal
Ryou take your hands off the steering wheel ordo not steer for a prolonged period of time
Once you have finished changing lanes, ActiveSteering Assist automatically reactivates.
Active Steering Assist cannot provide assis-tance:
Ron very sharp corners
Rwhen towing a trailer
Rwhen a loss of tire pressure or a defective tirehas been detected and displayed
Observe the important safety notes on ActiveDistance Assist DISTRONIC (Ypage 162).
The steering interventions are carried out with alimited steering moment. The system requiresthe driver to keep his hands on the steeringwheel and to steer himself.
If you do not steer yourself or if you take yourhands off the steering wheel for a prolongedperiod of time, the system will first alert you witha visual warning. A steering wheel symbolappears in the multifunction display. If you havestill not started to steer and have not taken holdof the steering wheel after five seconds at thelatest, a warning tone also sounds to remind youto take control of the vehicle. Active SteeringAssist is then switched to passive. Active Dis-tance Assist DISTRONIC remains active.

for safe maneuvering, parking and exiting aparking space. Make sure that no persons, ani-mals or objects are in the path of your vehicle.
When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactiva-ted, Active Parking Assist is also unavailable.
For vehicles with a trailer tow hitch installed, theminimum length for parking spaces is slightlylonger.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle, youshould not use Active Parking Assist. Once theelectrical connection is established betweenyour vehicle and the trailer, Active ParkingAssist is no longer available. Parking AssistPARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear area.
GWARNING
While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
result in a collision with another road user.
There is a risk of an accident.
Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the Active Park-
ing Assist parking procedure.
!If they cannot be avoided, drive over obsta-cles such as curbs slowly and at an obtuseangle. Otherwise, you may damage thewheels or tires.
Active Parking Assist may possibly indicateparking spaces which are not suitable for park-ing, for example:
Rwhere parking or stopping is prohibited
Rin front of driveways or entrances and exits
Ron unsuitable surfaces
Parking tips:
ROn narrow roads, drive as close to the parkingspace as possible
RParking spaces that are littered or overgrownmight be identified or measured incorrectly
RParking spaces that are partially occupied bytrailer drawbars might not be identified assuch or be measured incorrectly
RSnowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parkingspace being measured inaccurately
RPay attention to the warning messages ofParking Assist PARKTRONIC during the park-ing procedure (Ypage 181).
RYou can intervene in the steering procedureto correct it at any time. Active Parking Assistis then deactivated
RWhen transporting a load which protrudesfrom your vehicle, you should not use ActiveParking Assist
Rnever use Active Parking Assist when snowchains are installed
RAlways pay attention to the specified tirepressure for your vehicle. This has a directinfluence on the parking characteristics of thevehicle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces:
Rparallel or at right angles to the direction oftravel
Ron straight roads, not bends
Ron the same level as the road, e.g. not on thepavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the detection range ofActive Parking Assist will not be detected whenthe parking space is measured. These are nottaken into account when the parking procedureis calculated, e.g. overhanging loads, tail sec-tions or loading ramps of trucks. Active ParkingAssist may therefore guide you into the parkingspace too early.
GWARNING
If there are objects above the detection range:
RActive Parking Assist may steer too early
Rthe vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects
This could cause a collision. There is a risk of
an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate Active Parking
Assist.
Further information about the detection range(Ypage 180).
176Driving systems
Driving and parking

If you select the reverse gear, Active Blind SpotAssist is not operational.
The brightness of the warning lamps is auto-matically adapted to the brightness of the sur-roundings.
When Active Blind Spot Assist is activated, grayradar waves propagating backward appear nextto the vehicle in the assistance display in themultifunction display. Above a speed of 20 mph(30 km/h), the color of the radar waves in theassistance display changes to greenD. ActiveBlind Spot Assist is then ready for use.
Collision warning from visual warning and
warning tone
If you switch on the turn signal to change lanesand a vehicle is detected in the side monitoringrange, you receive a visual warning and a warn-ing tone as a collision warning. You will thenhear a double warning tone and red warninglampCflashes. If the turn signal remains on,detected vehicles are indicated by the flashingof red warning lampC. No further warning tonesounds.
Course-correcting brake application
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a lat-eral collision in the monitoring range, a course-correcting brake application is carried out. Thisis meant to assist you in avoiding a collision.
GWARNING
A course-correcting brake application cannot
always prevent a collision. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns
you or makes a course-correcting brake appli-
cation. Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs,red warning lampCflashes in the exterior mir-ror and a double warning tone sounds. In addi-tion, a display underlining the danger of a sidecollision appears in the multifunction display.
In very rare cases, the system may make aninappropriate brake application. A course-cor-recting brake application may be interrupted atany time by countersteering slightly or acceler-ating.
The course-correcting brake application is avail-able in the speed range between 20 mph(30 km/h) and 120 mph (200 km/h).
Either no braking application, or a course-cor-recting brake application adapted to the drivingsituation occurs if:
Rthere are vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crashbarriers, located on both sides of your vehicle.
Ra vehicle approaches you too closely at theside.
Ryou have adopted a sporty driving style withhigh cornering speeds.
Ryou clearly brake or accelerate.
Ra driving safety system intervenes, e.g. ESP®
or PRE-SAFE®Brake.
RESP®is switched off
Ra loss of tire pressure or a defective tire isdetected.
Switching on Active Blind Spot Assist
XMake sure that Active Blind Spot Assist isactivated in the on-board computer(Ypage 220).
XSwitch on the ignition.Warning lampsCin the exterior mirrors lightup red for approximately 1.5 seconds.
Gray radar waves propagating backwardsDappear next to the vehicle on the assistantdisplay on the multifunction display.
Above a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h), the colorof the radar waves on the assistant displaychanges to greenD. Active Blind Spot Assistis then ready for use.
Towing a trailer
When you attach a trailer, make sure you havecorrectly established the electrical connection.This can be accomplished by checking the trailerlighting. Active Blind Spot Assist is then deacti-vated.
