The PRE-SAFE
®
Brake function can also brake
the vehicle automatically under the following
conditions:
R the driver and front passenger have their seat
belts fastened
R the vehicle speed is between approximately
7 km/h and 200 km/h
At speeds of up to approximately 70 km/h, PRE-
SAFE ®
Brake can also detect:
R stationary objects in the path of your vehicle,
e.g. stopped or parked vehicles
R pedestrians in the path of your vehicle
i If an increased danger of collision exists,
preventative passenger protection measures
(PRE-SAFE ®
) are triggered (Y page 55).
If the danger of collision with the vehicle in front remains and you do not brake, take evasive
action or accelerate quickly, the vehicle may
perform automatic emergency braking up to the
point of full brake application. Automatic full
brake application is not performed until imme-
diately prior to an imminent accident.
You can prevent the engagement of PRE-SAFE ®
Brake at any time by:
R depressing the accelerator pedal further
R activating kickdown
R releasing the brake pedal
The braking action of PRE-SAFE ®
Brake is ended
automatically if:
R you manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle
R the danger of collision has passed
R an obstacle is no longer detected in front of
your vehicle STEER CONTROL
General information STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a
noticeable steering force to the steering wheel
in the direction required for vehicle stabilisation.
This steering support is provided in particular if:
R both right wheels or both left wheels are on a
wet or slippery road surface when you brake
R the vehicle begins to skid Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 68).
No steering support is provided from STEER
CONTROL, if: R ESP ®
is deactivated
R ESP ®
is malfunctioning
R the steering is faulty
If ESP ®
is malfunctioning, you will be assisted
further by the electrical power steering. Protection against theft

30 seconds, the Mercedes‑Benz emergency
call system automatically sends a message to the Customer Centre. This is sent via text
message or a data connection. The emergency call system sends a message
or establishes a data connection provided
that:
R you have subscribed to the Mercedes ‑Benz
emergency call system
R the Mercedes‑Benz emergency call system
has been activated properly
R the necessary mobile phone network is
available Tow-away protection
Function An audible and visual alarm is triggered if your
vehicle's angle of inclination is altered while
tow-away protection is primed. This can occur if
the vehicle is jacked up on one side, for exam-
ple.
Activating/deactivating Tow-away protection is automatically switched
on and off with the ATA (anti-theft alarm system)
when:
R the doors are closed
R the tailgate is closed
Tow-away protection is active around
60 seconds after the ATA has been switched on (Y page 79).
Deactivating To prevent a false alarm, deactivate tow-away
protection if you lock your vehicle and it:
R is being transported
R is being loaded, e.g. onto a ferry or car trans-
porter
R is parked on a movable surface, e.g. in a split-
level garage
The tow-away alarm remains deactivated until
you switch the ATA on again after opening a
door.
You can deactivate tow-away protection via the multimedia system (see the Digital Owner's
Manual). 80

Important safety notes
United Kingdom only: G
WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the outside, the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (see Digital Owner's Manual).
The doors can then be opened from the inside
after the vehicle has been locked from the out-
side. The anti-theft alarm system is triggered if
the door is opened from the inside. Switch off
the alarm (Y page 79).
All countries: G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they can:
R open doors and endanger other persons or
road users
R climb out and be injured by the traffic
R operate vehicle equipment and, for exam-
ple, trap themselves.
Children could also set the vehicle in motion, for example by:
R releasing the parking brake
R shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
R starting the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always
keep the key out of reach of children. G
WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the key, the key could be unintentionally turned in the
ignition lock. This could cause the engine to
be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
key. Remove any bulky keyrings before insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock.
! Keep the key away from strong magnetic
fields. Otherwise, the remote control function could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin-
ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the key: R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can impair the key's function.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start function: do
not keep the key in the luggage compartment.
Otherwise, the key may not be detected, e.g.
when starting the engine using the Start/Stop
button.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in or in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle. This occurs, for
example:
R during engine start
R during driving
R when using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
R when the external door handles are touched
R during convenience closing 82
