81Starting-off and Driving
Page 88 of 164
Antilock Braking System (ABS)Read and observe
on page 84 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Traction Control System (TC)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces thedrive power transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thus, for
example, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
If your vehicle is fitted with the ESC system, TC is integrated into the ESC sys-
tem » page 84 .
Note
For vehicles without stabilization control (ESC), during a TC-intervention the
control indicator in the instrument cluster flashes.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
The EDL switches off automatically in order to avoid excessive heat generation
on the brake of the wheel being braked. The vehicle can continue to be driven
and has the same characteristics as a vehicle not fitted with EDL. Once the
brakes have cooled down, there is an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Hold Control (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
When driving on slopes, HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake ped-al to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The brake pressure drops gradually the more you operate the accelerator ped-
al. If the vehicle does not start off within 2 seconds, it starts to roll back.
The HHC is active as of a 5 % slope, if the driver door is closed. HHC is always
only active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.

› When fully pressing down the accelerator pedal.
› When the laser sensor is dirty or obscured.
› When the vehicles are very dirty and have a low level of reflection.
If the system is not available or there is a system malfunction, the indicator
symbol flashes
slowly in the display of the instrument cluster.WARNING■
The windscreen may be neither blocked nor covered with dirt in the area
of the laser sensor. This can lead to impaired function of the sensor - risk of
accidents!WARNINGThe laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries. The la-
ser beam is not visible to the human eye.■
Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass
to look into the laser sensor.
■
The laser beam can also be active when the system is disabled or is not
available.
CAUTION■ Remove the snow from the windscreen in the area of the laser sensor with a
hand brush and the ice with a solvent-free de-icing spray.■
If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc, re-
place the windscreen. Only use windscreens approved by the manufacturer.
■

Coolant
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Checking the coolant level
112
Replenishing
112
The coolant provides cooling for the motor.
It consists of water and coolant additive with additives that protect the cooling
system against corrosion and prevents furring.
The coolant additive level in the coolant must be at least 40%.
The coolant additive may be increased to a maximum of 60%.
The correct mixing ratio of water and coolant additive is to be checked if nec- essary by a specialist garage or is to be restored if necessary.
The description of the coolant is shown in the coolant expansion reser-
voir » Fig. 101 on page 112 .
WARNINGThe engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 107.■
The coolant is harmful to health.
■
Avoid contact with the coolant.
■
Coolant vapours are harmful to health.
■
Never open the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir while the
engine is still warm. The cooling system is pressurized!
■
When opening the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir, cover it
with a cloth to protect your face, hands and arms from hot steam or hot
coolant.
■
If any coolant splashes into your eyes, immediately rinse out your eyes
with clear water and contact a doctor as soon as possible.
■
Always keep the coolant in the original container, safe from people who
are not completely independent, especially children - there is a danger of
poisoning!
■
If coolant is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
■
Never spill operating fluids over the hot engine - risk of fire.
111Inspecting and replenishing
Page 115 of 164
CAUTION■ Do not continue if for some reason it is not possible to fill with coolant un-
der the current circumstances! Switch off the engine and seek assistance from
a specialist garage.■
If the expansion tank is empty, do not top up with coolant. The system could
fill with air - risk of engine damage,
stop driving! Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
The concentration of coolant additive in the coolant must never be under
40%.
■
Over 60% of coolant additive in the coolant reduces the antifreeze protec-
tion and cooling effect.
■
A coolant additive that does not comply with the correct specification can
significantly reduce the corrosion protection of the cooling system.
■
Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can con-
sequently result in major engine damage!
■
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
» Fig. 101 on page 112 .
■
If an error occurs, leading to the engine overheating, the help of a professio-
nal garage is to be sought - there is a risk of serious engine damage occurring.
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

Checking the level›
Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle » Fig. 101.
If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The level can also be
above the mark “MAX” » Fig. 101.
In case of low coolant level in the instrument cluster a check mark
» page 35 . We still recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the
reservoir from time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the cooling sys-
tem. Do not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a
specialist garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 111 first.
The coolant expansion tank must always contain a small amount of cool-
ant » page 112, in section Introduction .
›
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and unscrew the
cap carefully .
›
Replenish the coolant.
›
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
CAUTION
■
Only top up with new coolant.■Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available. In
this case, use just water and have the correct mixing ratio of water and cool-
ant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.112General Maintenance
