rage.

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.

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.

Automatic braking can be stopped by pressing the

accelerator pedal or by a steering intervention.

With automatic braking, the pressure in the brake

system increases. The brake pedal cannot be operat-

ed by using the pedal as normal.

WARNING

Risk of an accident!

Front Assist does not respond to crossing or oncom-

ing vehicles.

Deactivating the ASR may be helpful in the following

situations:

Driving with snow chains

▶

Driving in deep snow or on very loose ground

Starting up a vehicle that is stuck

Operating conditions

✓ The parking aid is activated.

✓ The driving speed is higher than 5 km/h.

Troubleshooting

Function restriction

Stop the engine and start again.

If the indicator light does not go out after covering

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

rage.

When driving around a sharp bend

During an ESC intervention

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.
