When the ignition is switched off, the brake booster  
and the power steering do not work. In addition,  
there is a risk that the steering lock will engage.

WARNING  
Danger of brake failure!  
What you should be mindful of  
If the brake fluid change date is exceeded, heavy  
braking may cause vapour bubbles to form in the  
brake system.  
WARNING  
Problems and faults with the brake system can ex-  
tend the braking distance of the vehicle!  
DANGER  
Troubleshooting  
Danger of a functional restriction of the brake boos-  
ter!  
When braking in a vehicle with manual transmis-  
sion, when the vehicle is in gear and at low revs,  
depress the clutch pedal.

Reduced braking effect  
Damp, frozen, salt-affected or corroded brakes can  
impair the braking effect.  
Inspecting the brake fluid level  
Clean the brakes by braking several times if traffic  
conditions allow it.

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.
