WARNING Risk of accident despite
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize
th efo llowing road users:
R Road users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
trians
R Road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R Road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. bya bar rier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may failto recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize
th em too late.
In these or similar situations, the automatic
high beam is not deactivated or is activated
despite the presence of other road users. #
Always obser vethe tra ffic carefully and
switch off the high beam in good time. The
Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically
swit ches between thefo llowing settings:
R Low beam
R High beam
The sy stem de tects that vehicle lights are
approaching in the opposite direction or driving
ahead of theve hicle.
At speeds greater than 19 mp h (30 km/h), a
ch ange is made tothefo llowing setting:
R If no other road users are de tected, the high
beam switches on automaticall y.At
speeds less than 16 mp h (25 km/h) or if there
is suf ficient road lighting, a change is made to
th efo llowing setting:
R The high beam automatically switches off.
Sy stem limitations
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist cannot take thero ad,
we ather or traf fic conditions into consideration.
The de tection of obs tacles can be restricted if:
R Visibility is impaired, e.g. in fog, heavy rain or
snow
R The sensors are dirty or co vered
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
re sponsible for ensuring cor rect vehicle lighting
in accordance with the pr evailing light, visibility
and traf fic conditions.
The sy stem's optical sensor is located behind the
windshield near theove rhead cont rol panel.

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
brake sy stem overheating
If yo u lea veyour foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake sy stem may overheat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the
brake sy stem may evenfa il. #
Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not depress the brake pedal and the

On long and steep downhill gradients you should
obse rveth efo llowing instructions:

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
brake sy stem overheating
If yo u lea veyour foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake sy stem may overheat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the
brake sy stem may evenfa il. #
Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time
while driving. If
th e brakes ha vebeen subjected toa heavy
load, do not stop theve hicle immediately. Drive
on for a short while. The brakes cool down more
qu ickly in the air flow.
If th e brakes ha vebeen used only moderatel y,
yo u should occasionally test their ef fectiveness.
To do this, brake more firm lyfrom a higher speed
while paying attention tothe tra ffic conditions.
The brakes will grip better as a result.
We tro ad sur faces
If yo u ha vebeen driving for a long time in heavy
ra in without braking, there may be a dela yed
re sponse when youfirs t apply the brakes. This
may also occur af ter driving thro ugh a car wash
or deep water.Yo u must depress the brake pedal
more firm ly. Main tain a longer di stance tothe
ve hicle in front.
While paying attention tothe tra ffic conditions,
yo u should brake theve hicle firm ly af ter driving
on a wetro ad sur face or thro ugh a car wash. This
heats the brake discs so that they dry more
qu ickl y,which pr otects them against cor rosion.
Limited braking ef fect on salt-trea tedro ads:
R a layer of salt on the brake discs or brakepads
can increase braking dis tances conside rably,
or braking may happen on only one side
R maintain an especially lar gesafe dis tance to

look for pad material wear.
If yo u are unable tocheck the brakepad wear on
th e inside of the wheels, remo vethe wheels if
yo u possess there qu ired skills, or visit a qualified
specialist workshop.
If th e brakepad material thickness is less than
0. 12 in (3 mm), ha vethe brakepads checked and
re placed at a qualified specialist workshop, if
necessar y.
Do not solely rely on the brakepad wear sensor.
It is also strongly recommended that you ha ve

Ne w brake discs and brakepads
New brakepads and brake discs on lyreach their
optimal braking ef fect af ter appro ximately
10 0 miles (100 kilome ters).
Unti lth en, compensate forth ere duced braking
ef fect by applying greater pressure tothe brake
pedal. For saf etyre asons, Mercedes-Benz recom‐
mends that you only ha vebrakepads and brake
discs which are appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz
ins talled on your vehicle.
Other brake discs or brakepads may compromise
th e saf ety of your vehicle.
Alw aysre place all brake discs and brakepads on
an axle at the same time. Alw ays ins tall new

Pa rking brake &
WARNING Risk of skidding or an acci‐
dent bybraking with the parking brake
If yo u ha vetobrake your vehicle with the
parking brake, the braking dis tance is consid‐
erab lylonger and the wheels may loc k.There
is an increased risk of skidding and/or acci‐
dent. #
Only brake theve hicle with the parking
brake if the service brake has failed. #
Inthis case, do not apply the parking
brake with too much forc e. #
Ifth e wheels loc k,immediately release
th e parking brake as much as required
fo rth e wheels toturn again. Ve
hicles with a manual parking brake
When driving on wetro ads or dirt-co vered sur fa‐
ces, road salt or dirt may getinto the parking
brake. This causes cor rosion and a reduction of
braking forc e.
In order topreve ntthis, drive with the parking
brake lightly applied from time totime.
When doing so, drive for a dis tance of appr ox‐
imately 300 ftat a maximum speed of 13mph
(20 km/h).
The brake lights do not light up when you brake
th eve hicle with the parking brake.

Hydroplaning &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning because
tire tread is too low
Depending on the dep thofthewate r onthe
ro adw ay, aquaplaning can occur despite suf fi‐

Avoid tire ruts and brake carefully. The
refore , in heavy rain or other conditions in
which hydroplaning can occur, drive as follo ws:
R Reduce your speed.
R Avoid tire ruts.
R Brake carefully.
Driving on flooded roads
Bear in mind that vehicles tr aveling in front or in
th e opposite direction create waves. This may
cause the maximum permissible dep thofwa ter
to be exc eeded. These no tes must be obser ved
under all circum stances. Otherwise, you can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
If yo u ha vetodrive on stre tches of road on which

DSR supports you when driving downhill. DSR
main tains a set speed foryo u on downhill gradi‐

cann ottherefore be guaranteed in all situations.
Yo u can set the speed depending on thege ar
