Fault in Adaptive forward
lighting system When the system detects a failure in
the Adaptive forward lighting system,
the system moves to a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic.
If this is not possible, the affected
headlight will be automatically
switched off. In any case, one
headlight will stay on. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.

For three flashes, e.g. when changing
lanes, press the lever until resistance
is felt and then release.

flashes six times when pressing the lever until resistance is felt and then
releasing.
Move the lever to the resistance point
and hold for longer indication.
Switch the turn signal off manually by moving the lever to its original
position.
Front fog lights

170Driving and operating
ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off, the system performs
a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 107.
Adaptive brake light During full braking, all three brakelights flash for the duration of ABS
control.
Fault9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake
Manual parking brake9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.

Active Emergency Braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage from crashes with vehicles and obstacles directly
ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by manual braking
or by steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 187.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate the probability ofa frontal collision.
Active emergency braking operates automatically above walking speed,
provided that Auto Collision
Preparation setting is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 122.The system includes:
■ brake preparation system
■ emergency automatic braking
■ forward looking brake assist9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only. The driver must continue to apply the brake
pedal as the driving situation
dictates.
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
so quickly that a collision is likely, the brake preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested.
The brake system is prepared so that braking can occur more rapidly.

202Driving and operating
Deactivation
Activation or deactivation of the lane
change alert can be set in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Colour-
Info-Display.
Select the relevant setting in Settings,
I Vehicle in the Colour-Info-Display.
Colour-Info-Display 3 118.
Vehicle personalisation 3 122.
The system is deactivated if the
vehicle is towing a trailer.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
Notice
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight highway road
with roadside objects, e.g. guardrails
and barriers for some distance.
Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. Otherwise the system may light up due to guardrails, signs,trees, shrubs or other immobile
objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need to be
serviced.
Lane change alert may not operate
when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice or slush. Cleaning
instructions 3 267.
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the DIC. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing, by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Colour-Info-Display.9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
advanced parking assist sensors,
e.g. below the bumper or
underneath the vehicle, are not
displayed.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the Info-Display and
check the surrounding area
behind and around the vehicle
before reversing.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
