Infotainment system
Navigation* Intr oduction Fig. 156
Schematic representation: Navigation
vie w A global satellite system determines the cur-
r
ent position of the v
ehicle and the sensors
mounted on the vehicle analyse the routes
taken. All measured values and possible traf-
fic events are compared with the available
maps to allow optimal navigation to the des-
tination.
Navigation announcements and graphic rep-
resentations will guide you to your destina-
tion.
Navigation management is carried out on the
screen.
Depending on the country, some functions of
the infotainment system will not be available on the screen when travelling above a certain
speed. It is not a malfunction, but is due to
compliance with l
egislation.
Navigation announcements
Navigation announcements are acoustic indi-
cations for driving referred to the current
route.
The type and frequency of navigation an-
nouncements depend on the driving situation,
for example, starting the guide to the destina-
tion, driving on the motorway or on a round-
about and the settings. If the exact destination cannot be reached
because, f
or example, it is in a non-digitised
area, indications relating to the address and
the distance to the destination are displayed
on the screen.
During dynamic route guidance, you will re-
ceive information about reported traffic con-
gestion on the route. An additional navigation
announcement is provided if the route is re-
calculated due to traffic congestion.
While a navigation announcement is playing,
its volume can be adjusted. The following
navigation announcements provided will be
played with the newly adjusted volume.

Driving
Steering Inf ormation r
elating to different ve-
hicle processes. Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
el
ectr

onically to the speed of the car, torque
and steering angle.
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition, but more force must be ap-
plied.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering
system.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation. Control lamp v

mains locked after switching on the ignition. Seek
specialist assistance. The control lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is s
wit

ched on. It
should go out once the engine is started. WARNING

es.

Driver assistance systems
Lane departure warning (Side As-
sist) The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors t
o monit
or the areas behind the vehicle
››› page 9. The system does this by measur-
ing the vehicle's distance from other vehicles
and its speed differential. The lane departure
warning will not work at speeds of less than
approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
The lane width is not detected individually,
but is rather pre-configured in the system.
Thus if you are driving in wide lanes or in be-
tween two lanes, the indications may be in-
correct. Furthermore, the system can detect
vehicles driving in the lane next to you (if
there are any), and can also detect station-
ary objects such as dividers, and thus give an
incorrect indication.
Light indication
The control lamp provides an indication on
the corresponding side regarding the traffic
situation behind the vehicle, if it is deemed to
be critical. The control lamp of the left-hand
side ››› Fig. 188
indicates the traffic situation
to the rear left of the vehicle, and the control
lamp of the right-hand side ››› Fig. 189
, indi-
cates the traffic situation to the rear right of
the vehicle. Keep the warning lamps zone of the lane de-
part

the likes that may interfere with your visibility.

Braking and parking
harder, as the braking distance increases due
t o the l
ack of assistance from the servo brake. WARNING
Any anomaly in the brake system can in-
cr ease the br

aking distance, with the re-
sulting risk of an accident.

Braking and parking
Brake assist systems Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC helps t
o impr
ove safety. It reduces
the tendency to skid and improves the stabili-
ty and roadholding of the vehicle. The ESC
detects critical handling situations, such as
vehicle understeer or oversteer, or wheelspin
on the driving wheels. It stabilises the vehicle
by braking individual wheels or by reducing
the engine torque. The warning lamp will
flash on the instrument panel when the ESC is
intervening !.
The ESC includes the anti-lock brake system
(ABS), the hydraulic brake assist (HBA), the
traction control system (TCS), electronic dif-
ferential lock (EDS), electronic torque control
(XDS) and the tractor-trailer sway mitiga-
tion*.
ESC also helps stabilise the vehicle by
changing the torque.
The TCS can be deactivated when wheel
spin is desirable ››› page 281
.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up un-
der braking until the vehicle has reached a
virtual standstill. You can continue to steer the
vehicle even when the brakes are on full.
Keep your foot on the brake pedal and do not
pump the brakes. You will feel the brake pedal
pulsate while the ABS is working. If the running gear or brake system is modi-
fied, the eff
ectiv

eness of the ABS could be se-
verely 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 (TCS)
In the event of the wheels spinning, the TCS
reduces the engine torque to adapt to the
road condition. 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 vehicl
e 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 ››› page 303
.
Electronic engine torque management
(XDS)
When taking a curve, the driveshaft differen-
tial allows the outer wheel to turn at a higher
speed than the inner wheel. In this way, the
wheel that is turning faster (outer wheel) re-
ceives less drive torque than the inner wheel.
This may mean that in certain situations the
torque delivered to the inner wheel is too
high, causing the wheels to spin. On the other
hand, the outer wheel is receiving a lower
drive torque than it could transmit. This can
cause a loss of grip on the drive axle, in this
case the front axle, which results in under-
steer or “lengthening” of the trajectory.
The XDS can detect and correct this effect
via the sensors and signals of the ESC.
Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque
of that wheel. This means that the requested
trajectory is much more precise. »

ows:
Grey segments: the obstacle is more
than approx. 30 cm away from the path
or in the direction opposite to travel.
They are also displayed when the elec-
tronic parking brake is activated.
Yellow segments: the obstacles lie on
the vehicle’s path and are at a distance
of less than approx. 30 cm away.
Red segments: obstacles are less than
approx. 30 cm away.
A wake will indicate the anticipated forward
or backward trajectory, depending on the en-
gaged gear. –
–
– If an obstacle is located in the vehicle’s way,
the corresponding audibl

e warning will
sound.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
the vehicle has reached the collision zone. In
the collision zone, the obstacles are repre-
sented in red (including those out of the
path). Stop the vehicle! ››› in Introduction
