In this section, you will find information about
the following driving safety systems:
R ABS (Anti-lock BrakingSystem)
(Y page 68)
R BAS (Brake AssistSystem) (Y page 69)
R BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist ( Brake
Assist System PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist)

R ADAPTIVE BRAKE (Y page 77)
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake (Y page 77)
R STEER CONTROL (Y page 79)Important safety notes
The driving safety systems can neither reduce
the risk of an accident if you fail to adapt your
driving style or are not paying attention nor
override the laws of physics. Driving safety sys- tems are merely aids designed to assist driving.
You are responsible for maintaining the distance
to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for
braking in good time and for staying in lane.
Always adapt your driving style to suit the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions and main-
tain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
Drive carefully.
The driving safety systems described work as
effectively as possible only when there is ade-
quate contact between the tyres and the road
surface. Pay particular attention to the informa- tion regarding tyres, recommended minimum
tyre tread depths etc. in the "Wheels and tyres"
section (Y page 356).
In wintry driving conditions, always use winter
tyres (M+S tyres) and, if necessary, snow
chains. Only in this way will the driving safety
systems described in this section work as effec-
tively as possible. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General information ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way that
the wheels do not lock when you brake. This
allows you to continue steering the vehicle when braking.
The ! ABS warning lamp on the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched
on. It goes out when the engine is running.
ABS works from a speed of about 8 km/h,
regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS
works on slippery surfaces, even when you
brake only gently.
Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 68). G
WARNING
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.
If ABS is malfunctioning, other systems, includ-
ing driving safety systems, will also become
inoperative. Observe the information on the ABS warning lamp (Y page 283) and display mes-
sages that may be shown on the instrument
cluster (Y page 250).
Brakes X
If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the
brake pedal with force until the braking sit-
uation is over.
X To make a full brake application: depress
the brake pedal with full force.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication
of hazardous road conditions; this serves as a
reminder to take extra care while driving. 68

To activate ESP ®
:briefly press button :.
The å ESP®
OFF warning lamp on the
instrument cluster goes out. The ÷ON
ON
message appears on the multifunction dis-
play.
Characteristics when SPORT handling
mode is activated
If SPORT handling mode is activated and one or
more wheels start to spin, the ÷ESP®
warn-
ing lamp on the instrument cluster flashes. In
such situations, ESP ®
will stabilise the vehicle
only to a limited degree.
When SPORT handling mode is activated:
R ESP ®
improves driving stability only to a limi-
ted degree
R traction control is still activated
R engine torque is no longer limited and the
drive wheels may start to spin
R ESP ®
still provides support when you brake
firmly.
Characteristics when ESP ®
is deactivated
If ESP ®
is deactivated and one or more wheels
start to spin, the ÷ESP®
warning lamp on
the instrument cluster does not flash. In such
situations, ESP ®
will not stabilise the vehicle.
If you deactivate ESP ®
:
R ESP ®
no longer improves driving stability
R engine torque is no longer limited and the
drive wheels may start to spin
R traction control is still activated
R COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST is no longer
available; it is not activated even if you brake
firmly with assistance from ESP ®
R PRE-SAFE ®
is no longer available; it is not
activated even if you brake firmly with assis-
tance from ESP ®
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake is no longer available; it is
not activated even if the brakes are firmly
applied with assistance from ESP ®
R ESP ®
still provides support when you brake
firmly. ESP
®
trailer stabilisation General information
If your vehicle/trailer combination begins to
lurch, ESP ®
assists you in this situation. ESP ®
slows the vehicle down by braking and limiting
the engine output until the vehicle/trailer com- bination has stabilised.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If road and weather conditions are poor,
trailer stabilisation will not be able to prevent the vehicle/trailer combination from swerv-
ing. Trailers with a high centre of gravity can
tip over before ESP ®
can detect this. There is
a risk of an accident.
Always adapt your driving style to the prevail-
ing road and weather conditions.
If your vehicle/trailer combination begins to
lurch, you can stabilise the vehicle/trailer com-
bination only by depressing the brake firmly.
ESP ®
trailer stabilisation is active above speeds
of approximately 65 km/h.
ESP ®
trailer stabilisation does not work if ESP ®
is deactivated or disabled because of a malfunc- tion.
Crosswind Assist General notes
Strong crosswind gusts can impair the ability of your vehicle to drive straight ahead. The cross-
wind driving assistance function integrated in
ESP ®
noticeably reduces these impairments.
Depending on the direction and intensity of the
side wind, ESP ®
is activated automatically.
ESP ®
engages with a stabilising application of
the brakes to assist you in keeping the vehicle in the lane.
Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speeds
above 80 km/h when the vehicle is driving
straight ahead or cornering gently.
Important safety notes
Crosswind Assist does not work if ESP ®
is deac-
tivated or disabled because of a malfunction. 76

To switch the hazard warning lamps on or
off: press the :button.
All the indicator lamps will flash when the
hazard warning lamps are switched on. If you
now switch on an indicator lamp using the
combination switch, only the indicator lamp
on the corresponding side of the vehicle will
flash.
The hazard warning lamps switch on automati-
cally if:
R an airbag has been triggered or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a speed
of above 70 km/h and comes to a standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off automati-
cally if the vehicle reaches a speed of above
10 km/h again after a full brake application.
The hazard warning lamps continue to operate
even if the ignition is switched off. Intelligent Light System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is a system that
adjusts the headlamps to suit the prevailing
driving and weather conditions. It offers
advanced functions for improved illumination of the road surface, e.g. depending on the vehicle
speed or weather conditions. The system
includes the active light function, cornering light
function, motorway mode and extended-range
fog lamps. The system is active only when it is
dark.
You can activate/deactivate the Intelligent
Intelligent
Light System Light System function using the on-board
computer (Y page 243).
Active light function The active light function is a system that moves
the headlamps according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way, relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This allows you to recognise pedestrians,
cyclists and animals sooner.
Active: when the lights are switched on.
Vehicles with Lane Keeping Assist: the active
light function evaluates the course of the lane in which you are driving and adjusts the light in
advance. Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better visi-
bility in tight bends, for example. It can be acti-
vated only when the dipped-beam headlamps
are switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the steer-
ing wheel
R if you are driving at speeds between 40 km/h
and 70 km/h and turn the steering wheel
The cornering light function may remain lit for a short time, but is automatically switched off
after no more than three minutes.
Cornering light function with roundabout
function:
The cornering light function is activated on both
sides before entering a roundabout through an
evaluation of the current GPS position of the
vehicle. It remains active until after the vehicle
has left the roundabout. In this way, pedestrians crossing the road, for example, are illuminated
by your vehicle in good time.
Only vehicles with the COMAND multimedia sys-
tem have this function.
Motorway mode Motorway mode increases the range of the
beam.
Active:if you are driving at a speed above
110 km/h and do not make any large steering
movements for at least 1000 m or if you are
driving at a speed above 130 km/h.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds below
80 km/h following activation.
Extended range fog lamps The extended-range fog lamps reduce the glare
experienced by the driver and improve the illu-
mination of the edge of the carriageway.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on the rear fog lamp.
Not active: if, following activation, you are driv-
ing at speeds above 100 km/h or if you switch
off the rear fog lamp. 118
