Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu-
vring the vehicle. The driving systems are only
aids. They are not a substitute for you paying
attention to your surroundings and do not relieve
you of your responsibility pertaining to road trac
law. The driver is always responsible for maintain-
ing a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-
cle speed, for braking in good time and for staying
in lane. Pay attention to the trac conditions at
all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware
of the limitations regarding the safe use of these
systems.
Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of
accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or trac condi-
tions.
%Some driving systems can regulate or limit the
speed to a previously set value. Draw atten-
tion to the stored speed when changing driv-
ers.
Information on vehicle sensors and cameras
Some driving and driving safety systems use cam-
eras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to
monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the
vehicle.

&WARNING Risk of accident due to restric-
ted detection performance of vehicle sen-
sors and cameras
If the area around vehicle sensors or cameras
is covered, damaged or dirty, certain driving
and safety systems cannot function correctly.
There is a risk of an accident.
#Keep the area around vehicle sensors or
cameras clear of any obstructions and
clean.
#Have damage to the bumper, radiator
grille or stone chipping in the area of the
front and rear windows repaired at a
qualied specialist workshop.
Particularly, keep the areas around the sensors
and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush
(/ page 407). The sensors and cameras must
not be covered and the detection ranges around
them must be kept free. Do not attach additional
licence plate brackets, advertisements, stickers,
foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in
the detection range of the sensors and cameras.
Make sure that there are no overhanging loads
protruding into the detection range.
If there is damage to a bumper or the radiator
grille, or aer an impact, have the function of the
sensors checked at a qualied specialist work-
shop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras on the front and rear windows
repaired at a qualied specialist workshop.
%The reversing camera can extend and retract
automatically for the purpose of calibration,
even though there is no camera image in the
display.

Function of ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
RDuring braking, for instance, at maximum full-
stop braking or if there is insucient tyre trac-
tion, the wheels are prevented from locking.
RVehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
234 Driving and parking

pedal can be an indication of hazardous road con-
ditions and can serve as a reminder to take extra
care while driving.
System limits
RABS is active from speeds of approximately
5 km/h.
RABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occurred and the yellow !
ABS warning lamp lights up continuously aer
the vehicle is started.
Function of o-road ABS
%O-road ABS is activated automatically when
you select the F drive program.
O-road ABS is specially adapted for driving o-
road:
RThe front wheels lock cyclically during braking.
RThe braking distance is shortened due to the
digging-in eect.
System limits
RO-road ABS functions at speeds below
40 km/h.
RIf O-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer
may be restricted.
Function of BAS
&WARNING Risk of an accident caused by a
malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist System)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
#Depress the brake pedal with full force in
emergency braking situations. ABS pre-
vents the wheels from locking.
The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your
emergency braking situation with additional brake
force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is
activated:
RBAS automatically boosts the brake pressure.
RBAS can shorten the braking distance.
RABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you release
the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
Function of ESP®
&WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP® is
deactivated
If you deactivate ESP®, ESP® cannot carry out
vehicle stabilisation.
#ESP® should only be deactivated in the
following situations.
*NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles
#Observe the notes in the Supplement.
You could otherwise fail to recognise
dangers.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) can moni-
tor and improve driving stability and traction in
the following situations within physical limits:
RWhen pulling away on wet or slippery carriage-
ways.
Driving and parking 235

RWhen braking.
If the vehicle deviates from the direction desired
by the driver, ESP® can stabilise the vehicle by
intervening in the following ways:
ROne or more wheels are braked.
RThe drive system output is adapted according
to the situation.
When ESP® is deactivated, the å warning
lamp lights up continuously:
RDriving stability will no longer be improved.
RThe drive wheels could spin.
RETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
%When ESP® is deactivated, you are still assis-
ted by ESP® when braking.
When the ÷ warning lamp ashes, one or sev-
eral wheels has reached its grip limit:
RAdapt your driving style to suit the current
road and weather conditions.
RDo not deactivate ESP®.
ROnly depress the accelerator pedal as far as is
necessary when pulling away.
Deactivate ESP® in the following situations to
improve traction:
RWhen using snow chains.
RIn deep snow.
ROn sand or gravel.
%Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action, which enhances traction.
If the ÷ warning lamp lights up continuously,
ESP® is not available due to a malfunction.
Observe the following information:
RWarning and indicator lamps (/ page 539)
RDisplay messages (/ page 465)
ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System)
ETS/4ETS traction control is part of ESP® and
makes it possible to pull away and accelerate on a
slippery carriageway.
If you select the F drive program, a special
ETS system specically suited to o-road terrain
is automatically activated.
ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by
intervening in the following ways:
RThe drive wheels are braked individually if they
spin.
RMore drive torque is transferred to the wheel
or wheels with traction.
Inuence of drive programs on ESP®
The drive programs enable ESP® to adapt to dif-
ferent weather and road conditions as well as the
driver's preferred driving style. Depending on the
selected drive program, the appropriate ESP®
mode will be activated (/ page 201).
Function of ESP® Crosswind Assist
ESP® Crosswind Assist detects sudden gusts of
side wind and helps the driver to keep the vehicle
in the lane:
RESP® Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle
speeds between approx. 80 km/h and
200 km/h when driving straight ahead or cor-
nering slightly.
236 Driving and parking

RThe vehicle is stabilised by means of individual
brake application on one side.
Function of ESP® trailer stabilisation
&WARNING Risk of accident in poor road
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilisation cannot prevent lurching of
the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a
high centre of gravity may tip over before
ESP® detects this.
#Always adapt your driving style to suit
the current road and weather conditions.
When driving with a trailer, ESP® can stabilise
your vehicle if the trailer begins to swerve from
side to side:
RESP® trailer stabilisation is active above
speeds of 65 km/h.
RSlight swerving is reduced by means of a tar-
geted, individual brake application on one
side.
RIn the event of severe swerving, the operating
energy output is also reduced and all wheels
are braked.
ESP® trailer stabilisation may be impaired or may
not function if:
RThe trailer is not connected correctly or is not
detected properly by the vehicle.

er's display.
Function of EBD
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) is charac-
terised by the following:
RMonitoring and regulating the brake pressure
on the rear wheels.
RImproved driving stability when braking, espe-
cially on bends.
Function of STEER CONTROL
STEER CONTROL assists you by transmitting a
noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in
the direction required for vehicle stabilisation.
Driving and parking 237

This steering recommendation is given in the fol-
lowing situations:
RBoth right wheels or both le wheels are on a
wet or slippery road surface when you brake.
RThe vehicle starts to skid.
System limits
STEER CONTROL may be impaired or may not
function in the following situations:
RESP® is deactivated.

ther by the power steering.
HOLD function
▌HOLD function
The HOLD function holds the vehicle at a stand-
still without requiring you to depress the brake
pedal, e.g. while waiting in trac.
The HOLD function is only an aid. The responsibil-
ity for the vehicle safely standing still remains with
the driver.
System limits
The HOLD function is only intended to provide
assistance when driving and is not a sucient
means of safeguarding the vehicle against rolling
away when stationary.
RThe incline must not be greater than 30%.
▌Activating/deactivating the HOLD function
