&WARNINGRisk of accident when switch‐ing offthe ignition when driving
Ifyou switchoffthe ignition while driving,safety functions arerestricted or no longeravailable. This may affectthe powersteeringsystem andthe brakeforce boosting,forexample.
You willthen needtouse considerably moreforcetosteer and brake.
#Do not switch offthe ignition while driv‐ing.
&DANGERRisk offatal injuries duetoexhaustgases
Combustion engines emit poisonousexhaustgases such as carbon monoxide. Inhalingtheseexhaustgases is hazardoustohealthand can leadtopoisoning.
#Never leavethe enginerunning in anenclosed space without sufficientventi‐lation.
&WARNINGRisk of skidding and of anaccident duetoshifting down on slipperyroad surfaces
Ifyou shift down on slipperyroad surfacestoincreasethe engine braking effect,the drivewheels may lose traction.
#Do not shift down on slipperyroad sur‐facestoincreasethe engine brakingeffect.
&DANGERRisk offatal injury duetopoi‐sonousexhaustgases
Ifthetailpipe is blocked or sufficientventila‐tion is not possible, poisonousexhaustgasessuch as carbon monoxide may enterthevehi‐cle. This isthe case ifthevehiclegetsstuckin snow,forexample.
#Keepthetailpipe andthe area aroundthevehicle free from snow whentheengine orthestationary heater arerun‐ning.
#Open a window onthe windward side ofthevehicletoensure an adequate sup‐ply of fresh air.
&WARNINGRisk of accident and injuryduetobeing underthe influence of alco‐hol and drugs while driving
Driving when underthe influence of alcoholand/or drugs is anextremelydangerouscombination. Even smallquantities of alcoholor drugs may affectyourreflexes, perceptionand judgment.
The probability of a serious orevenfatal acci‐dent greatly increases ifyou drive whenunderthe influence of alcohol or drugs.
#Do not drink alcohol ortakedrugs whiledriving, and do not allow anyonetodrive who has been drinking alcohol ortaking drugs.

Function of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABSregulatesthe brake pressure in critical driv‐ing situations:
RDuring braking, e.g. at full brake applicationor insufficient tire traction,the wheels areprevented from locking.
RVehiclesteerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking,you willfeel apulsing inthe brake pedal. The pulsating brakepedal can be an indication of hazardousroadconditions and can serveas aremindertotakeextra care while driving.
System limitationsRABS is active from speeds of approx. 5mph(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if amalfunction has occurred andtheyel‐low%ABSwarning lamp lights up contin‐uously inthe instrument cluster aftertheengine isstarted.
Function ofBAS (Brake Assist System)
&WARNINGRisk of an accident causedbya malfunction inBAS (Brake AssistSys‐tem)
IfBAS is malfunctioning,the braking distancein an emergency braking situation isincreased.
19 2Driving and parking

#Depressthe brake pedal with fullforcein emergency braking situations. ABSpreventsthe wheels from locking.
BAS supportsyour emergency braking situationwith additional brakeforce.
Ifyou depressthe brake pedalquickly,BAS isactivated:
RBAS automaticallybooststhe brake pres‐sure.
RBAS can shortenthe braking distance.
RABS preventsthe wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual onceyoureleasethe brake pedal.BAS is deactivated.
Function of ESP®(ElectronicStability Pro‐gram)
&WARNINGRisk of skidding if ESP®ismalfunctioning
If ESP®is malfunctioning, ESP®cannot carryoutvehiclestabilization. In addition,otherdriving safety systems are switched off.
#Drive on carefully.
#HaveESP®checked at aqualified spe‐cialistworkshop.
&WARNINGRisk of skidding if ESP®isdeactivated
Ifyou deactivate ESP®, ESP®cannot carryoutvehiclestabilization.
#ESP®should onlybe deactivated inthefollowing situations.
Mercedes‑AMGvehicles:observethe notes inthe Supplement. Otherwise,you may notrecog‐nize dangers.
ESP®can monitor and improvedrivingstabilityand traction inthefollowing situations, withinphysical limits:
RWhen pullingawayonwet or slipperyroad‐way.
RWhen braking.
RInstrong side winds whenyou are drivingfasterthan 50mph (80 km/h).
