Driving Stability Control Systems
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. Therefore equipment which is not
installed in your vehicle, for example on account
of the optional equipment selected or the coun‐
try specification, may also be described here.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions and
systems. Comply with the relevant laws and reg‐
ulations when using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Anti-lock Brake System,
ABS
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when the
brakes are applied.
Steering control is retained even in the event of
full braking, thereby enhancing active road
safety.
ABS is ready to operate each time the engine is
started.
Brake assist
When the brake pedal is depressed quickly, the
system automatically applies maximum braking
power assistance. With full braking, this keeps
the braking distance as short as possible. It also
makes full use of the advantages offered by the
Anti-lock Brake System ABS.
The pressure on the brake should be maintained
for the duration of the full-braking process.
Adaptive brake assist
In conjunction with Active Cruise Control, this
system ensures that the brake responds even
more quickly when braking in critical situations.
Drive-off assistant
Principle
The system provides support when driving off on
upward gradients.
Driving off
1.
Hold the vehicle in place by depressing the
foot brake.
2. Release the foot brake and drive off without
delay.
The vehicle is held for approximately 2 seconds
after the foot brake has been released.
Depending on the vehicle's load or when towing
a trailer, the vehicle may roll backwards a little.
M Setup
Principle
In the M Setups, individual settings for the vehi‐
cle can be stored and called up again when re‐
quired.
General
2 M Setups are available.
The Setups are configured as follows:
▷ Setup M1: relaxed, comfortable driving.
