138WARNING■ A lack of fuel can cause irregular engine running or cause the engine to shut
down. The brake assist systems would then fail to function – risk of accident!■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions. The increased safety provided by the brake assist systems
must not tempt you to take safety risks – risk of accident!
■
In the event of an ABS fault, visit a specialist garage immediately. Adjust
your style of driving according to the damage to the ABS, as you will not know
the exact extent of the damage or the extent to which this is limiting the
braking efficiency.
CAUTION
■ All four wheels must be fitted with the same tyres approved by the manufactur-
er to ensure the brake assist systems operate correctly.■
Changes to the vehicle (e.g. to the engine, brakes, chassis) can influence the
functionality of the brake assist systems » page 184, Service work, adjustments
and technical alterations .
■
If a fault occurs in the ABS system, the ESC, ASR and EDL will also not work. An
ABS fault is indicated by the warning light » page 19 .
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)Fig. 116
ESC system: TCS button
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 136.
The ESC system helps improve control of the vehicle in situations where it is be-
ing operated at its dynamic limits, such as a sudden change to the direction of
travel. The risk of skidding is reduced and your car thus offers greater driving sta-
bility depending on the conditions of the road surface.
The ESC system is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched on.The direction which the driver wishes to take is determined based on the steering angle and the speed of the vehicle and is constantly compared with the actual
behaviour of the vehicle. In the event of deviations, such as the car beginning to
skid, the ESC system will automatically brake the appropriate wheel.
During an intervention of the system, the indicator light
flashes in the instru-
ment cluster.
The following systems are integrated into the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

The ESC system cannot be deactivated. The
» Fig. 116 symbol button can only
be used to deactivate the ASR.
The warning light lights up in the instrument cluster when the TCR is deactiva-
ted.
136Driving
Page 140 of 266
Antilock brake system (ABS)First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 136.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to main- tain 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 pressure on the brake pedal.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Fig. 117
TCS button
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 136.
If the wheels are slipping, the TCS adapts the engine speed to the conditions ofthe road surface. The TCS makes it much easier to start off, accelerate and climb
steep hills even if the conditions of the road surface are unfavourable.
The TCS function is activated automatically each time the ignition is switched on.
If your vehicle is fitted with the ESC system, the ASR is integrated into the ESC
system » page 136 .
During an intervention of the system, the TCS indicator light flashes in the in-
strument cluster.
The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example.
› When driving with snow chains.
› When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
› When it is necessary to “rock” a car free when it has become stuck.
The ASR can be deactivated via the
» Fig. 117 symbol button.
The warning light lights up in the instrument cluster when the TCR is deactiva-
ted.
Ensure the TCS is activated again afterwards.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 136.
If one of the wheels starts to spin, the EDL system brakes the spinning wheel and transfers the driving force to the other wheels. This ensures the stability of the
vehicle and a quick journey.
The EDL switches itself off automatically, in order to avoid excessive heat genera-
tion in the disc 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. The EDL switches on again automatically as soon as the brake has cooled down.
Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 136.
In critical situations, the DSR provides the driver with a steering recommendationin order to stabilise the vehicle. The DSR is activated, for example, on the right
and left vehicle side when braking sharply on different road surfaces.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 136.
The HBA increases the braking effect and helps to reduce the braking distance.
137Assist systems
Page 142 of 266
The intervention of the wizard is cancelled when you press the pedal and re-
sumed after the pedal is released again.
The hill descent assistant is automatically engaged under the following condi-tions.
The OFF ROAD mode is switched on and the warning light lights up in the
instrument cluster.
The vehicle engine is running and either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear, reverse gear
or no gear is engaged and the selector lever is in position R, N, D, S or Tip- tronic.
The downhill gradient is at least 10 % (when driving over sleepers, the limit can briefly drop to 8 %).
Neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal is operated.
It is however a requirement that the vehicle has sufficient grip on the soil. The Downhill Drive Support cannot properly fulfil its function on slushy soil due to
physical reasons (e.g. ice or mud).
For vehicles with manual transmission, the speed is maintained as follows.
› 1st gear - approx. 8 1)
- 30 km/h
› 2nd gear - approx. 13 1)
- 30 km/h
› 3rd gear - approx. 22 1)
- 30 km/h
› Reverse gear - approx. 9 1)
- 30 km/h
› Neutral for driving forwards - as well as driving backwards - approx. 2 - 30 km/h
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the speed is maintained as follows.
› Position D, S, R or Tiptronic (for 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear - approx. 2 - 30 km/h
› Neutral for driving forwards - as well as reversing - approx. 2 - 30 km/h
Start-Off Assist
The assistant supports the driver when starting eg on a steep slope. When the
driver presses the accelerator, the maximum engine speed is electronically limited so that a gentle approach is possible.
The overspeed trip unit is automatically deactivated after terminating the start-
up procedure.
As part of the Assist System, the accelerator pedal is adapted in its characteristics for an easier start-off on slippery and loose soil.ABS OFF ROAD
The ABS OFF ROAD supports the driver when braking on an unpaved surface such
as gravel, snow, etc.
The system generated by a controlled locking of the wheels braked wheel before a “wedge” of piled material, which shortens the braking distance.
The system is only available, if the front wheels are in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
The system operates at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
TCS OFF ROAD
The ASR OFF ROAD makes starting and driving on an unpaved surface easier as it partially allows wheel-spin.
EDL OFF ROAD
The EDS supports OFF ROAD vehicle traction when driving on a surface with dif- ferent grip under the drive wheels or when driving over bumps.
A spinning wheel or wheels are braked earlier and with more force than with the
intervention of the standard EDS system.
Note
■ During an active intervention of the Downhill Drive Support, the brake lights do
not light up.■
When disabled, ASR » Fig. 116 on page 136 the OFF ROAD mode works without
the support of the ASR OFF ROAD.

The parking aid is part of the park assist system, therefore the information and
safety guidelines » page 140, Parking aid must be read and observed.
Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in suita- ble parallel and perpendicular parking places and also to manoeuvre out of paral-lel parking spaces.
The system only operates if the ignition is switched on. The displays, messages and system instructions are displayed in the MAXI DOTdisplay (in the display only below).
During the parking procedure the system only takes over the steering move- ments, the pedals continue to be operated by the driver.
When the system is activated, the warning light lights up
» Fig. 122 on
page 144 -
.
The traction control system (TCS) must always be switched on when parking.
Basis of the system function › The measurement and evaluation of the size of parking spaces when driving.
› The determination of the correct position of the vehicle for parking.
› The calculation of the line on which the vehicle drives backwards into the park-
ing space or forwards from the parking space.
› the automatic turning of the front wheels when parking in, or manoeuvring out
of the parking space.
