tions with their respective additional signs. The traffic sign detection system records the
st
andar
d traffic signs in fr
ont of the v

ehicle
with a camera located on the base of the in-
terior mirror and provides information about
speed limits and overtaking prohibitions. Within its limitations, the system also displays
additional signals, such as time-specific pro-
hibitions, signs for vehicl

es towing trailers

Windscreen washer. The windscreen
washer function is activated by push-
ing the le

ver towards the steering
wheel, and the wipers operate simulta-
neously.

er will wipe the window approximat
ely
e

very six seconds.

The rear window wash function is acti-
vated by pressing the l
e

ver, and the
rear wiper starts simultaneously. WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you hav e
w

armed the windscreen with the heating
and ventilation system. The windscreen
washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road. CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
screen wipers active, they compl et

e their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate
at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and oth- er obstacles on the windscreen may dam-
age the wiper and the windscreen wiper

Maximum cooling power

Braking and parking
If the running gear or brake system is modi-
fied, the eff ectiv
eness of the ABS coul d be se-
v er
ely limited.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The brake assist system can reduce the re-
quired braking distance. The braking force is
automatically boosted if you press the brake
pedal quickly in an emergency. You must
keep pressing the brake pedal until the dan-
ger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match
the amount of grip available. This helps the
car to start moving, accelerate or climb a
gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes
the spinning wheel and directs the power to
the other driven wheel. This function is active
up to approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The ve-
hicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch on
again automatically when the brake has
cooled down. Tractor-trailer sway mitigation*
If the vehicle is pulling a trailer
, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries

do not exceed the specified lim-
it. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
since it would put their life in danger and is
al so pr

ohibited. WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may
cause injury and accidents.

Driving
Technical requirements Vehicles that are factory-fitt
ed with a t owing
bracket meet all the technical and legal re-
quirements for driving with a trailer.
If the vehicle is retrofitted with a towing
bracket, only a bracket that is authorised for
the maximum authorised load of the trailer
that is to be towed may be fitted. The towing
bracket must be suitable for the vehicle and
the trailer and must be properly secured to
the vehicle
