Driver assist systems

Multi-collision brake (MCB)

Braking and stabilising sys-

tems

MCB helps to decelerate and stabilize the vehicle af-

ter a collision with an obstacle. This reduces the risk

of further collisions.

Overview

Operating conditions

✓

There has been a frontal, side and rear collision

of a certain severity.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC helps to stabilise 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.

✓

The impact speed was greater than 10 km/h.

The brakes, ESC and other required systems re-

mained functional after the impact.

Flashes – ESC is engaged

✓

The accelerator pedal is not pressed.

Traction control (ASR)

ASR helps to stabilise the vehicle when accelerating

or driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drive

power transmitted to the wheels when the wheels

spin.

Settings

Deactivate/Activate ASR

— Press the button under the Infotainment.

Or:

Flashes – ASR is engaged

Applies to 10″ Infotainment:

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

—

Car tap.

ABS helps to maintain control of the vehicle during

emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-

ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.

When deactivated, lights up in the instrument

cluster.

goes out on renewed activation.

Engine drag torque control (MSR)

Deactivating the ASR may be helpful in the following

situations:

MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in the

event of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icy

roads. If the wheels of the driven axle lock, the MSR

MSR increases the engine speed. This reduces the

braking effect of the engine and the wheels can ro-

tate freely again.

— Driving with snow chains

— Driving in deep snow or on very loose ground

— Starting up a vehicle that is stuck

Electronic Differential Lock (EDS)

EDS helps to stabilise the vehicle when driving on

road surfaces with different grip under the individual

wheels. EDS brakes a spinning wheel and transmits

power to a different drive wheel.

Troubleshooting

ESC or ASR faulty/deactivated by the system

illuminates

Electronic Differential Lock (XDS+)

XDS+ helps to keep the vehicle in the curve by effec-

tively braking the inside wheels.

— Stop the engine and start again.

— If the indicator light does not go out after cover-

ing a short distance, seek the help of a specialist

garage.

Hill Hold Control (HHC)

HHC helps when starting off on uphill gradients by

braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds after the

brake pedal is released.

— You may continue driving, exercising ap-

propriate caution. Seek the help of a spe-

Front Assist

Functionality

Settings

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.

Automatic activation

Front Assist is automatically activated when the ig-

nition is switched on.

In the following cases, the system does not have to

issue a warning of an obstacle, or the warning may

be issued incorrectly:

— Seek the help of a specialist garage.

— If the weather conditions are unfavourable.

— The detected obstacles are moving.

— Sensor signals are not reflected by the surface of

the obstacles.

— It is a small obstacle, e.g. a stone or a pillar.

— A max. 30 cm high obstacle is too close behind
