Braking
X
If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the
brake pedal vigorously until the braking
situation is over.
X
To make a full brake application: depress
the brake pedal with full force.
If abs intervenes when braking, you will feel
a pulsing in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions, and func-
tions as a reminder to take extra care while
driving.
Forward collision warning
General information
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a collision with a vehi-
cle ahead or reduce the effects of such an
accident. If the distance warning function
detects that there is a risk of a collision, you
will be warned visually and acoustically.
Starting the engine also switches on the dis-
tance warning function.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The distance warning function does not
react:
R
to people or animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
Thus, the distance warning function cannot
provide a warning in all critical situa-
tions. There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake.
G
WARNING
The distance warning function cannot
always clearly identify objects and com-
plex traffic situations.
In such cases, the distance warning func-
tion may:
R
give an unnecessary warning
R
not give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and do not rely solely on the dis-
tance warning function.
Observe the "Important safety notes" section
for driving safety systems (
Y
page 47).
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired if:
R
there is dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors.
R
snow or heavy rain
R
interference by other radar sources
R
the possibility of strong radar reflec-
tions, for example in parking garages
R
a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
R
a vehicle traveling in front on a different
line
R
new vehicles or after a service on the dis-
tance warning system
Please observe the information in the sec-
tion on running-in the vehicle
(
Y
page 86).
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at low speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.

X
To switch off: press button ;.
Indicator lamp : lights up.
X
To switch on: press button ;.
Indicator lamp : goes out.
Starting at a speed of around 4 mph (7 km/h),
the distance warning function warns you if
you rapidly approach a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone will then sound
and the · distance warning lamp will
light up in the instrument cluster.
X
Brake immediately in order to increase the
distance from the vehicle in front.
or
X
Take evasive action, provided it is safe to
do so.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving condi-
tions may also cause the system to display a
warning.
With the help of the radar sensor system, the
distance warning function can detect obsta-
cles that are in the path of your vehicle for an
extended period of time.
Up to a speed of around 45 mph (70 km/h), the
distance warning function can also react to
stationary obstacles, such as stopped or
parked vehicles.
ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program)
General notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 47).
esp
®
monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tires and
the road surface.
If esp
®
detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilize the
vehicle. The engine output is also modified
to keep the vehicle on the desired course
within physical limits. esp
®
assists the
driver when pulling away on wet or slippery
roads. esp
®
can also stabilize the vehicle
during braking.
ETS (Electronic Traction System)
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 47).
ETS traction control is part of esp
®
.
ETS brakes the drive wheels individually if
they spin. This enables you to pull away and
accelerate on slippery surfaces, for example
if the road surface is slippery on one side. In
addition, more drive torque is transferred to
the wheel with traction.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If ESP
®
is malfunctioning, ESP
®
is unable to
stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, fur-
ther driving safety systems are deactiva-
ted. This increases the risk of skidding and
an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP
®
checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!
If you test the parking brake using a brake
dynamometer, switch the ignition off.
Application of the brakes by ESP
®
may oth-
erwise destroy the brake system.
When towing the vehicle with the rear axle
raised, observe the notes on esp
®
(
Y
page 171).
If the ÷ esp
®
warning lamp lights up per-
manently, esp
®
or hill start assist are
unavailable due to a malfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Y
page 134) and display messages which may
be shown in the instrument cluster
(
Y
page 121).
i
Only use wheels with the recommended
tire sizes. Only then will esp
®
function
properly.
Characteristics of ESP
®
General information
If the ÷ esp
®
warning lamp goes out before
the journey begins, esp
®
is automatically
active.
If esp
®
intervenes, the ÷ esp
®
warning
lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.

If esp
®
intervenes:
X
Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as
necessary when pulling away.
X
Adapt your driving style to suit the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions.
Crosswind Assist
General information
Strong crosswinds can cause your vehicle to
deviate from a straight course. The crosswind
driving assistance function integrated into
esp
®
significantly reduces these effects.
esp
®
intervenes automatically according to
the direction and intensity of the crosswinds
affecting your vehicle.
esp
®
intervenes with stabilizing braking to
assist you in keeping the vehicle in the lane.
crosswind assist is active at vehicle speeds
above 45 mph (70 km/h) when driving straight
ahead or cornering gently.
Important safety notes
crosswind assist does not work if esp
®
is dis-
abled because of a malfunction.
EBD (electronic brake force distribu-
tion)
General information
EBD monitors and controls the brake pressure
on the rear wheels to improve driving sta-
bility while braking.
Important safety notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 47).
G
WARNING
If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheels
can lock, e.g. under full braking. This
increases the risk of skidding and an acci-
dent.
You should therefore adapt your driving
style to the different handling character-
istics. Have the brake system checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Observe information regarding indicator
and warning lamps (
Y
page 134) as well as
display messages (
Y
page 120).

Side window reversing feature
In vehicles with the convenience feature, the
side windows are equipped with an automatic
reversing feature. If a solid object blocks or
restricts a side window from traveling
upwards during the automatic closing proc-
ess, the side window opens again automati-
cally. During the manual closing process, the
side window only opens again automatically
after the corresponding switch is released.
The automatic reversing feature is only an
aid and is no substitute for your attention
when closing a side window.
G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small
fingers
R
