CAUTION
■
Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.
■
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
soon as possible. These items can cause damage to the vehicle (e.g. to parts of
the fuel or brake system).
Driving through water
Fig. 202
Maximum permissible water lev-
el when driving through water
The following instructions must be observed if vehicle damage is to be avoided
when driving through water (e.g. flooded roads).
›
Therefore, always determine the depth of the water before driving through
water. The water level must not go above the web of the lower beam
›
Drive at no more than walking pace, otherwise a wave may form in front of
the vehicle, which could cause the water to enter into the vehicle’s systems
(e.g. the air intake system for the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
■
If water gets into the vehicle’s systems (e.g. the air intake system for the en-
gine) it can cause serious damage to the vehicle!
■
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
sible water level for your vehicle.
■
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. A vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
Assist systems
General information
Introduction
WARNING
■
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 enable, disable or set the assistance systems so that you have the
car fully under control in every traffic situation - risk of accident!
Radar sensor
Fig. 203
Installation location of the radar
sensor
Read and observe on page 172 first.
The radar sensor (hereinafter on referred to as sensor) uses electromagnetic
waves to capture the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle
.
The sensor is part of the ACC
systems.
172
Driving
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sensor function may be impaired in the events of one of the following.
▶
The sensor cover is soiled (e.g. with mud, snow etc.).
▶
The area in front of and around the sensor cover is obscured (e.g. by labels,
auxiliary headlights etc.).
▶
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
If the sensor is covered or dirty, the corresponding message appears in the in-
strument cluster display for the ACC system
, Malfunctionsor Front
Assist system
WARNING
■
If you suspect that the sensor is damaged, deactivate the ACC system
and Front Assist system
,
. Have the sensor checked
by a specialist garage.
■
A collision or damage in the front or lower area of the vehicle could affect
the sensor function - there is risk of accident! Have the sensor checked by
a specialist garage.
■
Do not cover the area in front of and around the sensor cover. This can
lead to impaired function of the sensor - risk of accidents!
CAUTION
Remove the snow with a brush and the ice with a solvent-free de-icer.
Braking and stabilisation systems
Introduction
The brake and stabilization systems are automatically activated each time the
ignition is switched on, unless otherwise indicated.
The error display is in Chapter
WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed
Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe on page 173 first.
ESC improves vehicle stability in critical driving situations (e.g. if the vehicle
starts to skid) by the braking the individual wheels to maintain the direction.
If there is a TCS intervention, the indicator light
flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Read and observe on page 173 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thereby, it helps the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
An ABS intervention can be noticed through pulsating movements of the
brake pedal and distinct noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not pump the brakes or lift off the brake
pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Read and observe on page 173 first.
MSR counteracts the tendency of the drive wheels to lock during downshifts
or sudden deceleration (e.g. on icy or an otherwise slippery road surface).
If the drive wheels should lock, then the engine speed is automatically in-
creased. This reduces the braking effect of the engine and the wheels can ro-
tate freely again.
173
Assist systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traction control (TCS)
Fig. 204
Key for the TCS system
Read and observe on page 173 first.
The TCS prevents the drive wheels from spinning. TCS reduces the drive pow-
er transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thereby, for exam-
ple, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
During a TCS intervention, the indicator light
flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
Deactivation
›
Press the
button.
›
or: On Infotainment, press the
button, then tap the function surface →
ESC system: → ASR off.
During deactivation the warning light lights up in the instrument cluster
and
an appropriate message is displayed in the instrument cluster.
Activation
›
Press the
button.
›
or: On Infotainment, press the
button, then tap the function surface →
ESC system: → Activated.
During activation extinguished the warning light
is and an appropriate mes-
sage is displayed in the instrument cluster.
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 “rocking a car free” when it has become stuck.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)
Read and observe on page 173 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes a spinning wheel if required and transfers the drive power force to the
other drive 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.
XDS+ is an extension to the electronic differential lock (EDL). The XDS+ re-
sponds to the release of pressure on the wheels during fast cornering by
means of a braking intervention on the wheel on the inside of the corner on
the driven axle. By decelerating the individual wheels, this prevents the vehicle
from over-steering or understeering. This has a positive effect on the driving
stability and steerability of the vehicle.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe on page 173 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.
The HBA is activated by very rapid depression of the brake pedal. To achieve
the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be applied firmly
until the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
HBA is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist
Read and observe on page 173 first.
When driving on slopes, Hill Start Assist (hereinafter referred to simply as the
system) allows you to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal without the vehicle rolling downhill on its own.
The vehicle is braked by the system for about 2 seconds after releasing the
brake pedal.
The system is active as of a 5% slope, if the driver door is closed. The system is
only ever active on slopes when starting off in forward or reverse.
174
Driving
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multicollision brake (MCB)
Read and observe on page 173 first.
MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision by means of automatic braking
interventions and to stabilise the vehicle. This reduces the risk of a subsequent
crash due to uncontrolled vehicle movement.
The automatic brake interventions can take place only if the following condi-
tions are met.
There was a front, side and rear-end collision of a certain severity.
The impact speed was greater than approx. 10 km/h.
The brakes, the ESL and other required electrical systems remain function-
al after impact.
The accelerator pedal is not actuated.
Parking aid (ParkPilot)
Introduction
The parking aid (hereinafter simply referred to as the system) uses acoustic
signals on the Infotainment screen when manoeuvring around obstacles in the
vicinity of the vehicle.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed
■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. There is a danger that such ob-
jects or people may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors.
There is a danger that obstacles may not be recognised by the system sen-
sors.
■
Before reversing, make sure that there are no small obstacles, such as
rocks, thin posts, etc., in front of or behind your vehicle. Such obstacles
may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■
Keep the system sensors
on page 176 clean and free from snow
and ice, and do not cover them with any objects of any kind, otherwise the
functioning of the system may be restricted.
■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the functioning of the system may be impaired - “incorrect
recognition of obstacles”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.

Rear traffic alert and wizard for “Blind spot”Monitoring
Introduction
Fig. 210
Installation location of the radar
sensors
The Rear Traffic Alert and Wizard for “blind spot” monitoring works based on
the information from the radar sensors in the rear bumper
. The radar
sensors are not visible from the outside.
Rear Traffic Alert
The Rear Traffic Alert (hereinafter referred to as system) warns when leaving a
parking space from a transverse parking space about any approaching vehi-
cles.
Wizard for “blind spot”monitoring
The wizard for“blind spot monitoring” (hereafter referred to as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so-
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle.
WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance sys-
tems
WARNING
■
In the case of a collision or damage to the rear of the vehicle, the function
of the systems may be affected - risk of accident! Have the vehicle
checked by a specialist garage.
■
Do not cover the sensor area - the function of the systems could be limi-
ted.
■
Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the sensor environment im-
mediately.
WARNING
The wizard for “blind spot”monitoring is limited by physical and system-re-
lated limits. Therefore, in the following situations the system can be de-
layed in drawing attention (or not at all) to a vehicle in the next land.
■
When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.
■
When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.
CAUTION
■
If a trailer or other accessory is to be connected to the trailer socket, then
the two systems are not available.
■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise
a vehicle”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.

Read and observe and on page 178 first.
With the ignition switched on, the area next to and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the radar sensors of the system. If an approaching vehicle is detected
from the rear of the vehicle
, the system warns of this fact.
Warning - vehicles with parking aid
You will hear a continuous tone and one of the following warning levels ap-
pears on the Infotainment screen
An oncoming vehicle is detected. Do not continue driving backwards and
check around the vehicle.
A vehicle in the collision region is detected. Do not continue reversing
.
Warning - vehicles without parking sensors
An acoustic signal is sounded and information for the driver to observe the
traffic behind is shown in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION
If a collision risk is detected, no automatic system-related braking takes place.
Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - Operation
Read and observe and on page 178 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.

B
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the warning light
in the exterior mirror.
System limitation
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶
When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶
Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barri-
ers, noise barriers or similar objects.

activated.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set
speed and at the same time the distance to the vehicle ahead without the ac-
celerator or brake pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by
a radar sensor
.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed
■
The driver must always be ready to take over the operation of the accel-
erator and brake pedal.
■
The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as
traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.
■
The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-
cle's foot brake.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do not use the ACC under the following conditions.
■
When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to
avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.
■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).
■
Driving into “sharp” corners or in steep gradients / on steep inclines.

WARNING (Continued)
■
When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-
ings, railway tracks, etc.) can be found.
■
When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-
capacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).
Note
■
The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.
■
The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by
means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-
tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.
■
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the con-
nected trailer, the ACC becomes unavailable.
■
The control automatically cancels the engagement of the brake supportive
assistance systems (e.g. ESC) or when the maximum permitted engine speed is
exceeded.

Read and observe on page 185 first.
The ACC makes it possible to set a speed of 30-160 km/h as well as to set the
distance from the vehicles in front.
The ACC can detect a vehicle that is up to approx. 120 m ahead using the radar
sensor.

Status conditions of the ACC
Control deactivated.
Control activated - no vehicle detected.
Regulation deactivated - no speed stored.
Control activated (vehicle detected).
Note to reduce speed
If the delay of the ACC is insufficient in relation to the vehicle in front, the
warning light
lights up in the instrument cluster and the display shows a
message to engage the brake pedal.
Note
Some ACC notifications in the display of the instrument cluster may be hidden
by notifications for other functions. An ACC notification automatically appears
for a brief moment when there is a change in status of the ACC.
Automatic stopping and starting
Read and observe on page 185 first.
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can decelerate to a complete stop
and start moving again using the ACC.
Decelerate to a complete stop
If a vehicle ahead decelerates to a standstill, the ACC will also decelerate your
vehicle to a complete stop.
Starting to drive again after a holding period
As soon as the vehicle ahead starts moving again after a holding period, your
vehicle will also move and the speed will continue to be controlled. Control is
automatically disconnected in case of longer holding periods.
