this case.
Secure the stationary vehicle against rolling away (→ Parking).
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in brake support systems cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only
within the limits of the systems. Driving fast on icy, slippery or wet roads can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle
and could cause serious injury to the driver and passengers.
● Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. Never take any
unnecessary risks.
● Brake support systems cannot prevent an accident if you are driving too close to the vehicle in front.
● Always use suitable tyres. The driving stability depends on the tyre grip.
WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be reduced considerably if other components and systems which affect driving
dynamics are not serviced properly or are not functioning properly. This applies in particular to modifications made
to the suspension and the use of non-approved wheel and tyre combinations.
● Conversions and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop.
● Always use suitable tyres. The driving stability depends on the tyre grip.
WARNING
Driving without the brake servo or with restricted brake servo function can considerably increase the braking
distance and cause accidents and serious injuries.
● Never switch the engine or ignition off while the vehicle is in motion.
● If the brake servo does not function or the vehicle is being towed, the brake pedal will have to be depressed more
forcefully as the braking distance will be increased due to the lack of assistance for the brake system.
● Always keep the footwell under the pedals clear so that the brake pedal can move freely.
Switching the TCS on and off
Driving situations
TCS can be switched off in situations where insufficient traction is achieved:
—When driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
—When rocking the vehicle backwards and forwards to free it from mud.
Switching the TCS on and off
You can switch the TCS on and off in the vehicle settings on the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).
