The warning lights indicate certain functions or faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.

nates
Check oil level!
▶ Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the engine oil level, top up
if necessary.
The warning light will go out if the bonnet is left open for more than 30 sec-
onds. If no engine oil has been replenished, the warning light will come on
again after driving about 100 km.

on, the ASR is fully functional again.
For more information about the TCS system » page 128, Traction control (TCS) .
Disconnecting the vehicle battery
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the indicator
light
comes on after switching on the ignition.
The warning light should go out after driving a short distance.
If, after a short drive, the indicator light does not go out, there is a system er-
ror.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

If the boot lid is unlocked or released with the symbol button
on the key,
then the boot lid is automatically locked after closing. You can set a lock delay
» page 58 .
CAUTION
■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal in-
terference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same
frequency range.■
The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range
of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking does react to the remote
control at less than around 3 metres away » page 193.
Note
The remote control will only operate when the vehicle is within sight.

Assist systems
General information
Introduction
WARNINGThe following general information regarding the use of assistance systems
must be observed.■
The assistance systems only serve to support and do not relieve the driv-
er of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.
■
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
■
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
■
Only activate, deactivate or set the assistance systems so that you have
the car fully under control in every traffic situation - risk of accident!

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Stability Control (ESC)

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

Traction control (TCS)
128
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)

This chapter describes the functions of the brake and stabilization systems.
The error display is in Chapter » page 32, Warning lights .
The brake and stabilization systems are automatically activated each time the
ignition is switched on, unless otherwise indicated.WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 127, in section Introduction .
Stability Control (ESC)
Fig. 140
Press the ESC system: Activat-
ing/deactivating TCS
Read and observe on page 127 first.
The ESC improves vehicle stability in dynamic driving situations, such as when
the vehicle starts to skid.
The ESC monitors whether the desired direction of the current vehicle motion
is occurring. In case of any deviation (e.g. over steer), the ESC automatically
brakes individual wheels to maintain the desired direction.
During an intervention of the system, the indicator light
flashes in the in-
strument cluster.
The ESC system cannot be deactivated. The
» Fig. 140 button can only be
used to deactivate the TCS » page 128.
The warning light
lights up in the instrument cluster when the ASR is deacti-
vated.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 127 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
127Assist systems
Page 130 of 232
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 (TCS)
Fig. 141
Button for the TCS system: TCS
disable / enable (vehicle without
ESC)
Read and observe on page 127 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces the
drive 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, the ASR is integrated into the ESC
system » page 127 .
During a TCS intervention, the indicator light flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
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. 141 symbol button.
The warning light lights up in the instrument cluster when the ASR is deacti-
vated.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
Read and observe
on page 127 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.
EDL switches off automatically to avoid excessive heat generation on the
brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down, there is
an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)
Read and observe
on page 127 first.
In critical situations, the DSR provides the driver with a steering recommenda-
tion in 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.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 127 first.
The HBA increases the braking effect and helps to reduce the braking dis-
tance.
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 deactivated when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 127 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.
