Driving and operating193If a service message is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre, the
system may have limited functionality
(or be completely disabled in some
cases, i.e. the vehicle switches to
Front-wheel drive). Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Towing the vehicle 3 293.Brakes
The brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing the journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 107.
Active emergency braking 3 218.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency
to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off, the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 108.
Adaptive brake light During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.

194Driving and operatingFault9Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake
9 Warning
Before leaving the vehicle, check
parking brake status. Control
indicator m must illuminate
constantly.
Electric parking brake
Applying when vehicle is stationary
9 Warning
Pull switch m for a minimum of
one second until control indicator
m illuminates constantly and
electric parking brake is applied
3 107. The electric parking brake
operates automatically with
adequate force.
Before leaving the vehicle, check
the electric parking brake status.
Control indicator m 3 107.
The electric parking brake can always
be activated, even if the ignition is off.
Do not operate electric parking brake
system too often without engine
running as this will discharge the vehicle battery.
Releasing
Switch on ignition. Keep foot brake
pedal depressed and then push
switch m.
Drive away function
Vehicles with manual transmission:
Depressing the clutch pedal and then
slightly releasing the clutch pedal and slightly depressing the accelerator
pedal releases the electric parking
brake automatically. This is not
possible when switch m is pulled at
the same time.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: Engaging D and then depressing the
accelerator pedal releases the
electric parking brake automatically.
This is not possible when switch m is
pulled at the same time.

Driving and operating209Indication on Driver Assistance page
If the system is active and a precedingvehicle is detected, the bars in front of the vehicle symbol appear green and
indicate set gap position.
Deactivation of the functionality
Adaptive cruise control is deactivated by the driver when:
● y is pressed.
● Brake pedal is applied.
● Clutch pedal is depressed for more than four seconds.
● Selector lever of automatic transmission is moved to N.
The system is also automatically
deactivated when:
● Vehicle speed accelerates above
190 km/h or slows down below
25 km/h . Vehicles with automatic
transmission slows down to a stop without deactivating within
five minutes.
● The Traction Control system is deactivated or operating.
● The Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated or operating.
● There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides for
approx. one minute. In this case there are no radar echoes and
the sensor may report that it is
blocked.
● The active emergency braking system is applying the brakes.
● Driving on steep inclines.
● The radar sensor is blocked by an ice or water film.
● A fault is detected in the radar, camera, engine or brake system.
● The brakes need to cool down.Additionally, the system is
automatically deactivated on vehicles with automatic transmission (full
speed range adaptive cruise control)
when:
● The incline uphill or downhill is greater than 20%.
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● The vehicle is being held to a stop
by the system for more than
five minutes.
● The vehicle stops, the driver's seat belt is unbuckled and thedriver's door is opened.
The stored speed is indicated in
brackets in the Driver Information
Centre when the system is
deactivated but not switched off.

210Driving and operatingThe adaptive cruise control symbol
C changes from green to white when
the system is deactivated but not
switched off.9 Warning
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the driver must take
over full brake and engine control
immediately.
Switching off the system
Press v to switch off adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator C
extinguishes in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
switches off adaptive cruise control
and deletes the stored speed.
Driver's attention ● Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
System limits9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● Adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● Adaptive cruise control considers
stopped vehicles only at low
speed.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may

212Driving and operatingSystem performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. Full speed range
adaptive control is deactivated
automatically, as the vehicle is
stopping uphill on an incline greater than 10%. In this condition, be
prepared to take control of the
vehicle.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
Radar unitThe radar unit is mounted behind the
radiator grille behind or below the
brand emblem.9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, in the event of a front-
end impact, do not use the system. The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind can be out of position and
react incorrectly. After an
accident, consult a workshop to
verify and adjust the radar unit
position.
Settings
A vehicle message and chime
reminds the driver to drive off when
the adaptive cruise control holds the
vehicle at standstill. This function
named Go Notifier can be activated
and deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu in the Info- Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 124.
Fault
If the adaptive cruise control does not
work due to temporary conditions
(e.g. blockage by ice, overheated
brakes or low speed manoeuvres) or
if there is a permanent system error,
a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 122.
Intelligent adaptive cruise control
This feature is an enhancement to
adaptive cruise control. It updates the
set speed to a new detected speed
limit automatically, if the driver has
forgotten to adapt the set speed. The preferred usage of this function is
outside cities or villages. It uses
information provided by the traffic
sign assistant 3 238.
Note
Perform updates of your
navigational maps regularly and
make sure that the correct SD-card
is inserted in the navigation map
card port.
