computer (Y page 328).
If the PRE-SAFE ®
Brake is not activated, the
æ symbol appears in the multifunction
display.
If you have activated DSR (Y page 248) PRE-
SAFE ®
Brake is also deactivated.
This function will issue a warning if:
R at a speed of around 30 km/ hor more, the
distance maintained to the vehicle travel-
ling in front is insufficient for several sec-
onds
The · distance warning lamp then lights
up in the instrument cluster.
R at a speed of around 7 km/h or more, you
rapidly approach a vehicle in front or a
pedestrian
An intermittent warning tone will then
sound and the ·distance warning lamp
lights up in the instrument cluster. X

or
X Take evasive action provided it is safe to do
so.
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
and
R the vehicle speed is between approx-
imately 7 km/h and 200 km/h
At a speed of up to approximately 70 km/h,
PRE-SAFE ®
Brake can also detect:
R stationary objects in the path of your vehi-
cle, e.g. stopped or parked vehicles
R pedestrians in the path of your vehicle
i If there is an increased risk of a collision,
preventive passenger protection measures
(PRE-SAFE ®
) are activated (Y page 64).
If the risk of a collision with the vehicle in front remains and you do not brake, take evasive
action or accelerate significantly, the vehicle
may perform automatic emergency braking,
up to the point of full brake application. Auto-
matic emergency braking is not performed
until immediately prior to an imminent acci-
dent.
You can prevent the intervention of PRE-
SAFE ®
Brake at any time by:
R depressing the accelerator pedal further
R activating kickdown
R releasing the brake pedal

Energy consumption and electrical
range The maximum electrical range is generally
reduced by:
R high and low outside temperatures
R operating the climate control system
R switching on consumers
The battery's physical characteristics are
such, that leaving the vehicle parked for long
periods at low outdoor temperatures without charging it can lead to:
R a reduction in battery performance
R longer charge times
Notes on battery care Avoid storing or transporting the vehicle at
excessively high or low temperatures over a
long period.
If you park the vehicle and leave it stationary for long periods:
R check the charge status of the high-voltage
battery more often
R connect the vehicle to a power supply
This prevents self-discharge and damage to
the high-voltage battery.
Terms of use Please note the information on exceptions
and limitations in the warranty documenta-
tion and in the Service Booklet.
Handling the charging cable and charg- ing cable controls Do not leave the charging cable controls
(Y page 213) hanging loose from a mains
socket. Otherwise, this could result in a poor contact with the mains socket and malfunc-
tions when charging the vehicle. To ensure that the brackets within the charg-
ing cable controls are not subjected to incor-
rect loads, observe the following:
R never lift or carry the controls by the charg-
ing cable connector or the mains plug
R to transport the charging cable, the coiled
part can be:
- wrapped around the controls or
- secured to the housing of the controls
Heat generated by the charging cable
and charging cable connector Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 210).
During the charging process, the charging
cable and charging cable connector may heat
up.
The charging cable and charging cable con-
nector will only heat up within the permissible limiting values, provided that:
R the mains power supply and the charging
cable are not damaged
R the instructions for handling the charging
cable and controls on the charging cable
are observed
If the charging cable or plug get too hot, have the mains power supply checked.
Protection against overvoltage !
Voltage surges in the mains supply can
damage the vehicle. The vehicle is there-
fore equipped with a device which protects
it from voltage surges in the mains supply.
This device may be triggered during severe
thunderstorms, for example, and may lead
to the building's fuse being tripped and an
interruption in the power supply. These
functions protect the vehicle. After the
building fuse is switched on again, the
charging process resumes automatically.
Following an interruption in the power sup-
ply or tripping of the building's fuse, it may take up to 10 minutes for charging to
resume automatically. 212

Setting the maximum charge current G
WARNING
If the charge current draw via a mains socket is too high during the charging process, the
external mains supply may overheat. There is a risk of fire.
Before charging, check the maximum permis-
sible charge current available at the location.
If necessary, contact a qualified specialist
company for assistance.
Adjust your vehicle's settings, if necessary.
! If the charge current is too high, the fuse
could be tripped or the external mains sup-
ply could overheat. Check if the external
mains supply is equipped to handle the pro- grammed charge current. If necessary,
reduce the programmed charge current or
use a different mains socket.
You can set a limit for the values of the charge
current used in charging the high-voltage bat- tery. This acts as a means of preventing the
mains supply from overloading. You can set
this limit by using the controls on the charging
cable or in the on-board computer's menu.
Only set the maximum charge current in the
on-board computer menu if there are no
charge current settings on the charging
cable.
The default value in the vehicle corresponds
to the maximum charge value.
The default value on the charging cable is the
minimum setting. This corresponds to the minimum available charge current from the
mains supply. The value on the charging cable
can be increased and is described below.
i The value of the maximum setting and the
adjustment value may vary depending on
the country.
Before charging the high-voltage battery,
check the maximum permissible charge cur-
rent for the relevant power socket.
X To adjust the setting: press button?
repeatedly until the desired setting is selec- ted in display =.
R Two LEDs are flashing: minimum setting
R All LEDs are flashing: maximum setting
If, after the charging process, the charging
cable is:
R left connected to the power socket, the
currently selected values will be used for
the next charging process.
R removed from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the next charging process. You may then need
to reset the values of the maximum charge current.
i If the vehicle requires more time than
usual when charging, check the maximum
charge current settings using the controls
on the charging cable or in the on-board
computer's menu.

Further information on deactivating
DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 243).
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it is stationary.
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
i After a short period, the vehicle is secured
by the electric parking brake, thus relieving
the service brake.
i Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is
set using the control on the cruise control
lever.
When DISTRONIC PLUS is activated, the
transmission is shifted automatically to posi- tion Pif:
R the driver's seat belt is not fastened and the
driver's door is open

Active Parking Assist is activated automati-
cally when driving forwards. The system is
operational at speeds of up to approximately
35 km/h. While in operation, the system inde- pendently locates and measures parking
spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist will only detect parkingspaces:
R parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
R that are parallel to the direction of travel
and are at least 1.5 m wide
R that are parallel to the direction of travel
and at least 1.0 mlonger than your vehicle
R that are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 1.0 m wider than your
vehicle
i Note that Active Parking Assist cannot
measure the size of a parking space if it is at
right angles to the direction of travel. You
will need to judge whether your vehicle will
fit in the parking space.
When driving at speeds below 30 km/h, you
will see parking symbol ;as a status indi-
cator in the instrument cluster. When a park- ing space has been detected, an arrow
towards the right or the left also appears.
Active Parking Assist only displays parking
spaces on the front-passenger side as stand-
ard. Parking spaces on the driver's side are
displayed as soon as the turn signal on the driver's side is activated. When parking on the
driver's side, this must remain activated untilyou confirm the use of Active Parking Assist
by pressing the abutton on the multi-
function steering wheel. The system auto-
matically determines whether the parking
space is parallel or at right angles to the direc-
tion of travel.
A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approx-
imately 15 m away from it.
