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
In this section, you will find information about
the following driving safety systems:
REBD ( Electronic Brake Force Distribution)
RABS ( Anti-lock Braking System)
RBAS ( Brake Assist System)
RESP®(E lectronic Stability Program)
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are
inattentive, the driving safety systems can nei-
ther reduce the risk of 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, braking in good time
and for staying in your lane. Always adapt your driving style to the prevailing road and weather
conditions and maintain a sufficient, safe dis-
tance from other road users. Drive carefully.
Please note that the driving safety systems
described only work optimally when:
Rthere is adequate contact between the tires
and the road surface
Ryou use winter tires (M+S tires), with snow
chains if necessary, when the road conditions
are wintry
Rthe speed information determined by the
vehicle is within the legally prescribed display
accuracy
Pay particular attention to the information
regarding tires, tire tread and winter operation
under "Wheels and tires" (
Ypage 279).
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General notes
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 ò warning lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up when the ignition is switched on. The
lamp goes out when the engine starts running.
Important safety notes
Observe the important safety guidelines for the
driving safety system (Ypage 64).
ABS works from a speed of about 5 mph
(8 km/h), regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS works on slippery surfaces, even when you
only brake gently.
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.
If ABS is malfunctioning, the òwarning lamp
(
Ypage 224) lights up while the engine is run-
ning and the display shows a message:

Replacing bulbs
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot
when operating. If you change a bulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before
changing a bulb.
!Make sure the bulbs are always securely
installed.
The bulbs and lamps are an essential compo-
nent of vehicle safety. You must therefore make
sure that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
RAlways switch off the ignition before replacing bulbs in the lighting system. This will prevent
a short circuit.
RWear gloves and eye protection when chang-
ing a bulb.
RDo not use a bulb that has been dropped or
that has scratches on its glass tube. The bulb
could may explode.
RA bulb could explode if:
-you touch it
-it is hot
-you drop it
-you scratch or score it
RMarks on the glass tube shorten the operating
life of a bulb. Do not touch the glass tube with
your bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass
tube when cold with alcohol or spirit. Then rub
off the glass tube with a clean, lint-free cloth.
RMake sure that bulbs are protected from
moisture when operating and that they do not
come into contact with liquids. Make sure
that seals are seated correctly and replace
damaged seals.
RCheck the contacts for signs of corrosion and
clean these if required.
ROnly operate bulbs in closed lamps which
have been designed for this purpose.
ROnly use spare bulbs of the same type, with
