Multi Collision Brake
If the airbag control module has detected a collision in an accident situation, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
automatically brakes the vehicle.
Requirements for automatic braking:
You are not pressing the accelerator pedal.
Brake booster
The braking support only functions when the engine is running and it enhances the pressure applied to the brake pedal by the
driver.
If the brake booster is not in operation or the vehicle is being towed, you will need to press the brake pedal harder because th
lack of braking assistance will increase the braking distance ⇒
, ⇒ Troubleshooting.
WARNING
Driving without the brake booster or when the brake booster's system function is limited can increase the braking distance
significantly. This may lead to accidents resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
Never stop the engine or switch the ignition off while the vehicle is moving.
Press the brake pedal harder if the brake booster does not work or the vehicle is being towed.
Always keep the footwell beneath the pedals clear so that the brake pedal is unobstructed and can move freely.
Switching the braking support system on and off
Driving situations
In order to avoid risks, the braking assistance systems should not be switched off under normal conditions ⇒
.
WARNING
When ESC Sport is switched on, the risk of the vehicle swerving is significantly higher. The vehicle can be difficult for
inexperienced drivers to handle at high speeds. Accidents and serious or fatal injuries could result.
Only switch on ESC Sport if you are driving on a closed track and are experienced in sporty driving.
Do not take any risks.
Switching on and off
1. Open the vehicle settings of the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
2. Open the settings for parking systems.
3. Select the function.
If the setting is no longer being used, you should completely switch off the braking assistance system again ⇒
.
ASR
It can be helpful to switch off ASR when the vehicle is driven on loose ground or when “rocking” the vehicle out of place
because it is stuck ⇒
ASR is manually switched off. The yellow indicator light turns on.
