Driving and operating177Extended hold hill start assist
Vehicles with automatic transmission are additionally equipped with the
extended hold hill start assist. This
function holds the vehicle stationary
for up to 5 minutes after the brake
pedal is released.
The electric parking brake will be
automatically activated to prevent
vehicle movement when one of the
following conditions occurs:
● extended hold hill start assist is deactivated after 5 minutes.
● ignition is switched off.
● driver's exit is detected.
Hill start assist or extended hold hill start assist can be selected in the
vehicle personalisation 3 123.
Notice
Hill start assist and extended hold
hill start assist will not be activated in neutral gear. If neutral gear is
selected during an active hold,
assists will deactivate and vehicle
may start moving.Ride control systems
Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC).
TC improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to
spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
TC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When TC operates b flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Control indicator b 3 107.
Deactivation
TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required: press t
briefly.

200Driving and operatingIf equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in forward gear above walking speed up
to 50 mph.
If equipped with radar sensor, active
emergency braking operates in
forward gear at all speeds above
walking speed. Only front pedestrian
protection is active up to 50 mph.
Activation
A precondition is that Forward
Collision System and Front
pedestrian detection are not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 123.
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian 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.Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, a message appears in the Driver Information Center and a
chime sounds.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This front
automatic braking can only occur if a
vehicle ahead is detected, indicated by the vehicle ahead indicator A
3 195. On vehicles with front
pedestrian protection, front automatic braking can also occur when a
pedestrian ahead is detected.
Below a speed of 25 mph the system
can apply full braking.
Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, emergency automatic
braking may engage the electricparking brake to hold the vehicle at a
stop. To release press the electric
parking brake button or firmly press
the accelerator pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to the brake preparation
system and emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing
the brake pedal less strongly results
in immediate hard braking. This
function helps the driver brake
quicker and harder before the
imminent collision.

Driving and operating2019Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react to animals. After a sudden
lane change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid
collisions.
The system is designed to work with
all occupants wearing their seat belts.
Intelligent Brake Assist
If the vehicle is equipped with radar
sensor Intelligent brake assist may
activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost
to braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.9 Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
Front pedestrian protection 3 202.
Deactivation Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 123. If deactivated a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when the vehicle is being towed
● before using an automatic car wash with ignition switched on
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
System limitations In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.

Driving and operating203Detecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead up to a distance
of approx. 40 m is indicated by the
control indicator 7 in the instrument
cluster. On vehicles with head-up
display, 7 is projected on the
windscreen.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a red flashing
LED alert or the pop-up symbol 7 in
the head-up display is projected on the windscreen in the driver's field of
view. A warning chime is provided.
The brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more rapidly
which can cause a brief, mild
deceleration. Continue to apply the
brake pedal as required.
Cruise control or Adaptive cruise
control may be disengaged when the
Front pedestrian alert occurs.
Automatic braking If a crash into a pedestrian directly
ahead is imminent, and the brakes
have not been applied, Automatic
braking may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This can
help to avoid some very low speed
pedestrian crashes or reduce
pedestrian injury.
Automatic braking levels may be reduced under certain conditions,
such as higher speeds.If this happens, automatic braking
may engage the Electric parking
brake to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the parking brake. Pressing
the accelerator pedal will also release Automatic braking and Electric
parking brake 3 175.
This system includes Intelligent brake assist, and the Emergency automatic
braking system may also respond to
pedestrians.
Active emergency braking 3 199.
Automatic braking can be disabled in
the vehicle personalisation menu
3 123.
General information9 Warning
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.

204Driving and operating9Warning
Front pedestrian braking may alert
or automatically brake the vehicle
suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It
could falsely alert or brake for
objects similar in shape or size to
pedestrians, including shadows.
This is normal operation and the
vehicle does not need a service.
To override Automatic braking,
firmly depress the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
9 Warning
Using the Front pedestrian braking
system while towing a trailer couldcause loss of vehicle control and
crash. Turn the system to Alert or
Off in the vehicle personalisation
when towing a trailer.
Vehicle personalisation 3 123.
System limitations
In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or sensor
performance is limited:
● Vehicle speed is out of range from 5 mph to 50 mph in forward
gear.
● The distance to an pedestrian ahead is more than 40 m.
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.

carrier to the trailer hitch, the parking
assist is deactivated.
Front-rear parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and
behind the vehicle. It informs and
warns the driver by giving acoustic
signals and display indication.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.

Driving and operating205
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and
front bumper.
Activation
The system is activated automatically
at a speed up to 7 mph.An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
If r is switched off within an ignition
cycle, the parking assist is
deactivated. If vehicle speed has exceeded 15 mph beforehand,
parking assist will be reactivated when speed drops below 7 mph.
When the system is deactivated, the
LED in the button extinguishes and a
message pops up in the Driver
Information Centre.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle in a distance range up to
80 cm and against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
50 cm while a forward gear is
engaged, or up to 1.5 m while reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the signals
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the signal is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre 3 111 or,
depending on the version, on the Info Display 3 117.

206Driving and operating
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After dismissing themessage distance indication appears again.
Acoustic signal is muted when
parking brake is engaged or the
selector lever of automatic
transmission is in N.
Deactivation

automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 7 mph.
Manual deactivation is also possible by pressing the parking assist button
r .
When the system is deactivated
manually, the LED in the button
extinguishes and a message pops up
in the Driver Information Centre.
After a manual deactivation, the front- rear parking assist is activated again
if r is pressed.
The complete system can be
manually deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu in the
Info Display. It remains deactivated
during the ignition cycle or until
activation in personalisation menu
again.

Fault
In the event of a fault or if the system
does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, a
message pops-up in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 122.Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given in the Driver
Information Centre 3 111 or,
depending on the version, on the Info Display 3 117 , supported by acoustic
signals.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically.

Driving and operating207GSi models only
In vehicles with automatic
transmission, the driver must control
acceleration and gear shifting, while
braking and steering is done
automatically.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist. Both systems use the same
sensors in the front and rear bumper.
The system has six ultrasonic parking sensors each in both the rear and
front bumper.
Activation of advanced parking assist
Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.
When searching for a parking slot, the system is ready to operate with a
short press of (.
The system recognises and
memorises 10 m for parallel parking
slots or 6 m for perpendicular parking
slots in the parking assist mode.
The system can only be activated and

parking slot by tapping the respective icon on the display.
Select parking side by tapping the
respective icon on the display.
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Info Display and an
acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle after a parking slot is proposed, the
system starts to search for another
suitable parking slot.
Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within ten
metres for parallel parking slots or
six metres for perpendicular parking
slots after the message to stop the car
is indicated. The system calculates
the optimal path into the parking slot.A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle with manual transmission is steered into the slot
automatically by giving the driver
detailed instructions for braking,
accelerating and gear shifting. With
automatic transmission the vehicle is
steered into the slot automatically by
giving the driver detailed instructions for accelerating and shifting forward
or reversing. The driver must keep
hands away from the steering wheel.
During park guiding mode the
manoeuvring speed is limited.
Always pay attention to the signals of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous signal indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.
