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.

Reduced braking eﬀect

Damp, frozen, salt-aﬀected or corroded brakes can

impair the braking eﬀect.

Clean the brakes by braking several times if traﬃc

conditions allow it.

›

ﬂashes - ESC is engaged

When the engine is stopped, the brake booster

does not work

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.

Depress the brake pedal more forcefully.

›

Handbrake

service

ﬂashes - ASR is engaged

Antilock braking system (ABS)

WARNING

Risk of accident!

An insuﬃciently released parking brake will impair

the function of the brake system.

ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle during

emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-

ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.

Fully release the parking brake before driving.

▶

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.

To back up

Pull the lever up to the

stop position.

›

The parking brake

lights up.

Electronic Diﬀerential Lock (EDL)

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.

To solve

Pull the lever up a little and push in the lock button.

›

Press and hold the lock button and pull the lever

completely down.

Electronic Diﬀerential Lock (XDL+)

XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-

nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.

Hill Hold Control

Hill Hold Control helps when starting oﬀ on uphill

gradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds

after the brake pedal is released.

Operating conditions

✓ The gradient is at least 5%.

✓ The driver's door is closed.

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.

Operating conditions

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

a certain severity.

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

Driver assist systems › Front Assist 109

✓ The brakes, ESC and other required systems re-

mained functional after the impact.

✓ The accelerator pedal is not pressed.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Functionality

Operating conditions

ACC control

ACC maintains the set speed. When your vehicle ap-

proaches the vehicle in front, ACC will automatically

start to maintain the set distance to this vehicle.

112 Driver assist systems › Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

WARNING

Operation

ACC does not respond to stationary objects or to

crossing or oncoming objects.

Operating with the lever

ACC is intended primarily for use on motorways.

Speed range

ACC allows a speed setting in the range of

30-160 km/h.

If control is started at a speed of less than 30 km/h

on vehicles with an automatic transmission, the

speed is automatically increased to 30 km/h or con-

trolled according to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Distance level

The distance to the vehicle ahead can be adjusted to

ﬁve diﬀerent levels.

WARNING

Maintain a minimum distance in accordance with

Driver Alert evaluates the steering behaviour. If it de-

tects fatigue in the driver, a break is recommended.

In the display of the instrument cluster, the following

symbol lights up from the isolation box.

Note

illuminated - there is a vehicle in the blind spot

ﬂashing - there is a vehicle in the blind spot, the

ﬂashing light is on the same side

WARNING

There will be no system warning during the so-called

micro-sleep.

Operating conditions

Resetting the break recommendation

The break recommendation is reset in the following

cases:

✓ The driving speed is higher than 15 km/h.
