Braking and stabilising systems

Overview

Settings

Stabilisation control (ESC)

ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle in borderline situa-

tions (e.g. when the vehicle starts to skid). ESC

brakes the individual wheels to maintain the direc-

tion of travel.

Deactivate / activate ASR

Press the button.

›

Or:

In Infotainment, select the following menu.

›

ﬂashes - ESC is engaged

Or:

Traction control (TCS)

ASR helps to stabilize the vehicle when accelerating

or driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drive

power transmitted to the wheels when the wheels

spin.

When deactivated lights up in the instrument clus-

ter.

goes out on renewed activation.

ﬂashes - ASR is engaged

Deactivating the ASR may be helpful in the following

situations.

Antilock braking system (ABS)

Driving with snow chains.

Driving in deep snow or on very loose ground.

Starting the stuck vehicle.

▶

ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle during

emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-

ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.

Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)

MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in the

event of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icy

roads. If the drive wheels lock, MSR increases the

engine speed. This reduces the braking eﬀect of the

engine and the wheels can rotate freely again.

Troubleshooting

a short distance, seek the help of a specialist ga-

rage.

EDL helps to stabilize the vehicle when driving on

road surfaces with diﬀerent grip under the individual

wheels. EDL brakes a spinning wheel and transmits

power to a diﬀerent drive wheel.

ABS faulty

Electronic diﬀerential lock (XDS+)

XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-

nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.

You may continue driving, exercising appro-

priate caution. Get the help of a specialist compa-

ny.

gradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds

after the brake pedal is released.

Functional conditions

✓ The gradient is at least 5%.

✓ The driver's door is closed.

Front Assist

Functionality

Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)

MCB helps to decelerate and stabilize the vehicle af-

ter a collision with an obstacle. This reduces the risk

of further collisions.

Front Assist monitors the distance to the vehicle

ahead and points out when the safety distance is ex-

ceeded. In borderline situations, it helps to avoid a

collision by braking interventions.

Functional conditions

✓ There has been a frontal, side and rear collision of

a certain severity.

✓ The impact speed was greater than 10 km/h.

At a driving speed of up to 30 km / h, the vehicle is

braked without prior warning.

Activation / deactivation and setting in Infotain-

ment

In the following menu.

The automatic braking can be stopped by pressing

the accelerator pedal or by steering.

With automatic braking, the pressure in the brake

system increases. The brake pedal cannot be operat-

ed by using the pedal as normal.
