Braking and stabilising systems

Overview

›

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.

ﬂashes - ESC is engaged

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.

ﬂashes - ASR is engaged

Antilock braking system (ABS)

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.

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.

Electronic Diﬀerential Lock (XDL+)

XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-

nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.

Active steering assistance (DSR)

In diﬃcult situations, the DSR provides the driver

with a steering recommendation in order to stabilise

the vehicle.

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.

Driver assist systems › Front Assist 133

Operating conditions

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

a certain severity.

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

Front Assist

Functionality

✓ The brakes, ESC and other required systems re-

mained functional after the impact.

✓ The accelerator pedal is not pressed.

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.

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)

TSA helps to stabilize the trailer. As the trailer begins

to lurch, TSA stabilizes the trailer by slowing down

the individual vehicle wheels.

Operating conditions

✓ The hitch was supplied from the factory or pur-

Lane Assist

Usage

Lane Assist helps to keep the vehicle within the lane.

It is based on the boundaries of a lane. These may in-

clude lane markings, road edges or objects such as

curbs or possibly traﬃc cones.

A vehicle that changes to the lane a short distance

away may not be recognized by the ACC in time.

Stationary vehicle

The system is intended primarily for use on high-

ways.

Functionality

As the vehicle approaches a lane marking, the sys-

tem executes a steering movement in the opposite

direction from the lane marking. The steering inter-

vention can be overridden manually.

No system intervention occurs when changing lane

with the turn signal on.

If a vehicle in front turns and there is a stationary ve-

hicle in front of this vehicle, the ACC must not re-

spond to the stationary vehicle.

WARNING

For vehicles with Lane Assist, the indicator light will

also ﬂash if your vehicle crosses the lane markings in

the direction of the approaching vehicle. The system

will trigger a steering wheel vibration in this case.

Road signs on the road always have priority over the

road signs shown on the display.

For this, Lane Assist must be activated and the lane

marking between the vehicles must be detected.
