ripping of the tread surface and thus to a loss of control over the vehicle.
Driving on steep terrain
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Driving uphill or downhill
Get out of the vehicle and assess the situation before you attempt to drive up or down a hill:
Walk along the section and check the firmness of the ground. Look out for obstacles and other
hidden dangers
Check the section beyond the hill.
You should not follow the route if it is too steep, uneven or if the ground surface is too loose. Select
another route.
Drive slowly and at constant speed straight up or down a slope.
Accelerate only to the speed you need to climb the slope. Too much acceleration can cause the
wheels to spin and lead to a loss of control of the vehicle. Insufficient throttle increases the
probability of stalling the engine.
Never attempt to stop or turn on a slope.
Avoid allowing the engine to stall.
Do not change gear or engage the clutch when climbing a slope.
Use the offroad display Offroad display
If you cannot continue to drive up a hill
Never turn the vehicle around on an uphill gradient.
If the engine has stalled, depress the footbrake and start the engine again.
Select reverse gear and reverse back slowly in a straight line.
Use the foot brake to keep a constant speed until you have reached a safe place.
Driving downhill
Never exceed the tilt angle of the vehicle! If, in an emergency, you have to traverse the slope when
driving down it and the vehicle threatens to tip over, steer into the fall line immediately.
There is an increased risk of rolling over when driving downhill. Concentrate on steering the vehicle
when driving downhill in particular.
Use the offroad display on steep downhill stretches Offroad display
Drive down steep inclines in first gear.
Use the foot brake sparingly in order not to lose control of the vehicle.

Area monitoring system (Front Assist)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Warning levels and braking intervention
Limits of Front Assist
Pedestrian Monitoring
Operating the area monitoring system (Front Assist)
Troubleshooting
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) with City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian
Monitoring can help to avoid accidents.
Within the limits of the system, Front Assist can warn the driver about imminent collisions, prepare
the vehicle for emergency braking, assist with braking, and initiate automatic braking. The warning
time varies depending on the traffic situation and driver behaviour.
Front Assist is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Driving with Front Assist
You can cancel the automatic braking interventions of Front Assist by steering or pressing the
accelerator.
Automatic braking
Front Assist can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will then not be held permanently.
Depress the brake pedal.

Radar sensor
Front Assist detects driving situations by means of the radar sensor at the front of the vehicle
Front view m.
Functions included in the system
The City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian Monitoring (depending on vehicle equipment)
are part of Front Assist and are automatically active when Front Assist is switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Front Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions
only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by Front Assist tempt
you into taking safety risks when driving. The driver is always responsible for braking in time.
If Front Assist issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending on the traffic situation or
avoid the obstacle.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
Front Assist can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking interventions in certain
complex driving situations, e.g. at traffic islands.
Front Assist can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking interventions when its
function is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is dirty or its position has been changed.
Front Assist without Pedestrian Monitoring does not react to persons. In addition, the system does
not react to animals or to vehicles that are crossing or approaching in the same lane.
If you are unsure whether your vehicle possesses Pedestrian Monitoring, please enquire about this
at a qualified workshop before starting your journey.
Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle yourself at all times.
Warning levels and braking intervention
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Distance warning
The system detects when safety is endangered by driving too close to the vehicle in front. The
warning lamp lights up. Increase the distance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (40 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Advance warning

of the vehicle and prepares the vehicle for a possible emergency braking procedure.
A warning tone sounds and the red warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoiding action.
Speed range: around 30 km/h (20 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance warning, the system may initiate a short braking jolt in
order to draw attention to the increasing collision risk. Brake or take avoiding action.
Speed range: around 30 km/h (20 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent warning, the vehicle can be braked automatically with
braking force that increases in several stages. The reduced speed means that it is possible to
minimise the consequences of an accident.
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Braking intervention
If the system detects that the driver is braking insufficiently when there is a risk of collision, the
system can increase the braking force and help prevent a collision. The braking intervention takes
place only for as long as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
City Emergency Braking System
The City Emergency Braking System is part of Front Assist. If the driver does not react to a possible
collision, the system can also automatically brake the vehicle with increasing braking force without
any advance warning.
The red warning lamp lights up
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 30 km/h (20 mph).
Limits of Front Assist
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Front Assist is not available or its functions are restricted for a period of around 30 seconds (also
longer, depending on the driving situation) immediately after the vehicle is started.
Front Assist has physical and system-related limitations. You should therefore always be prepared to
take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
Delayed response
If the radar sensor is exposed to environmental conditions that impair sensor functioning, the
system may detect this only after a certain time. For this reason, possible functional restrictions may
be displayed only after a delay at the start of the journey and when driving

Failure to switch off Front Assist in the situations mentioned can result in accidents and serious
injuries.
Pedestrian Monitoring
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Pedestrian Monitoring can help to avoid accidents with pedestrians crossing the vehicle's path or to
mitigate the consequences of an accident.
The system gives a warning when there is a risk of collision, prepares the vehicle for emergency
braking, helps to brake the vehicle or performs an automatic brake intervention. In the event of an
advance warning, the warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster
When Front Assist is switched on, Pedestrian Monitoring is active as part of Front Assist in a vehicle
speed range from approx. 5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
Pedestrian Monitoring is not available in all countries, depending on the vehicle equipment level.

WARNING
The intelligent Pedestrian Monitoring technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the
Pedestrian Monitoring system tempt you into taking any safety risks when driving. The driver is
always responsible for braking in time.
If Pedestrian Monitoring issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending on the traffic
situation or avoid the pedestrian.
Pedestrian Monitoring cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
Pedestrian Monitoring can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking
interventions in complex driving situations, e.g. on a main road that turns sharply.
Pedestrian Monitoring can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking
interventions when its function is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is covered or its position has
been changed.
Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle yourself at all times.
Operating the area monitoring system (Front Assist)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Front Assist and the advance warning (in some countries) are automatically switched on when you
switch on the ignition.
However, the system is not available or its functions are restricted for a period of around 30 seconds
(also longer, depending on the driving situation).

Switch off the lane keeping system in the following situations:
Very sporty driving.
In poor weather conditions and when driving on poor roads.
In roadworks and before crests in the road.
Driver intervention prompt
In the absence of any steering input, the system prompts the driver with acoustic warnings and a
display on the instrument cluster display to take over active steering.
If the driver does not respond, the system will give another warning by initiating a quick jolt of the
brake before switching to passive mode or activating Emergency Assist (with some equipment
levels).
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations can lead to vibration of the steering wheel:
If the corrective steering intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehicle in its lane.
If the system can no longer detect a lane during a significant steering intervention.

If there is a system fault, the lane keeping system can deactivate itself automatically.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
No camera visibility, error message, system switches itself off
Clean the windscreen Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior
Check whether any damage is visible on the windscreen in the camera's field of view.
The system is not responding as expected
Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
Do not cover the camera's field of view.
Check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for damage.
Do not fit any objects to the steering wheel.
Traffic Jam Assist
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver to keep in lane, and also provides assistance when following other
vehicles in congestion or slow-moving traffic.

Driving through road works.
In urban areas.

WARNING
The intelligent technology of Traffic Jam Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions
only within the limits of the system. Always take care when using Traffic Jam Assist as you could
otherwise cause accidents or injuries. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in urban traffic.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road
surfaces e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings or flooded roads.
Never use Traffic Jam Assist offroad or on unsurfaced roads. Traffic Jam Assist is designed solely for
use on surfaced roads.
Traffic Jam Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.
If the speed reduction achieved by Traffic Jam Assist is insufficient, brake the vehicle immediately by
depressing the foot brake.
If the vehicle starts to roll unintentionally after the driver has been prompted to take control of the
vehicle, brake the vehicle immediately using the foot brake.
If a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display, take control of the vehicle
immediately.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time. The driver is
always responsible for staying in lane.
The driver must be prepared to take control of the vehicle (by accelerating or braking) at all times.

If Traffic Jam Assist does not function as described in this chapter, do not use the system and go to a
qualified workshop.

If there is a fault in the system, visit a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
Semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist)

the driver and can keep the vehicle in lane
automatically, or brake the vehicle to a standstill if required. The system can therefore actively help
to prevent an accident.
Emergency Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist), and combines these
functions with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these chapters and
observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Description
If there is no driver activity, Emergency Assist prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle again
by visual and acoustic warnings and by braking jolts.
If the driver remains inactive, the system automatically controls the accelerator, brake and steering
to slow the vehicle down and keep it in lane t stopping distance, the system
decelerates the vehicle to a complete stop and switches on the electronic parking brake
automatically Operating the electronic parking brake
When Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the hazard warning lights are switched on
and the vehicle performs slight snaking movements within its lane to warn other road users.
The hazard warning lights can be deactivated by pressing the accelerator or brake, by making a
steering intervention or, depending on the situation, by pressing the button for the hazard warning
lights.
When Emergency Assist has been triggered, the system is not available again until the ignition has
been switched off and then back on.
Prerequisites
The lane keeping system and ACC are switched on.
The selector lever is in position D/S or in the Tiptronic gate.
The system has detected a lane marking on both the right and left sides of the vehicle Fig. 123
Switching Emergency Assist on and off
Emergency Assist is activated automatically when the lane keeping system Driving with the lane
keeping systemis switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Emergency Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
Emergency Assist cannot always prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
