ABCProactive occupant protection (Crew Protect Assist)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
242
ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.
WARNINGPlease take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .
Note
■
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 37 , Safety systems .■
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning func-
tion for the front passenger seat is switched off.
Function
Read and observe
on page 242 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden changein direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ Opened door windows in the front doors are closed automatically up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
242Driving
Page 245 of 336
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶ in the menu in Infotainment
→ →
Driver assistance
.
▶ Deactivating the TCS » page 214.
▶ By selecting the driving mode
Sport
» page 241 .
Provided that the driving mode
Sport
is not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as
when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.

The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor
» Fig. 303 .
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNINGThe system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-
screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.
Note
■ The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate
longitudinal markings.■
The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
The system is intended for emergency situations when the driver is sud-
denly unable to take over the steering task. Therefore, never try to test out
the system - there is a risk of an accident!
Function
Read and observe
on page 246 first.
The assistant for emergencies (following known as system) detects inactivity
of the driver, which for example can be caused by a sudden loss of conscious-
ness. The system then performs measures as safely as possible to decelerate
the vehicle to a stop.
The system is only available for vehicles with Automatic transmission.
The assistant for emergencies is an extension of the systems Lane Assist
» page 243 and ACC » page 233 and works by using the functions of these two
systems.

carefully and the safety notes are to be observed.
System intervention
If the system detects the driver's inactivity, it draws attention to this fact by a beep and a message on the display of the instrument cluster. It keeps the ve-
hicle in its lane.
If the driver does not take over the steering even after a repeated warning,
the system automatically brakes the vehicle and after it has come to a stand-
still the parking brake switch on.
With automatic braking, the hazard warning system is switched on.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
Operating conditions

Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (following known as system) recommends the
driver taking a break from driving when, because of the driver's steering be-
haviour, driver fatigue can be detected.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.

WARNING■Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
Note
■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Tyre pressure monitoring
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing the tyre pressure values and Infotainment display
249
The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors
the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal sounds » page 37.
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre pressure values.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ The warning light
in the instrument cluster.
WARNING■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 277.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
■
Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified
inflation pressure » page 277. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
To ensure proper system function, the tire pressure values must be stored ev-
ery 10 000 km or 1x a year.
