160 STARTING AND OPERATING
Driving Safety Systems
The vehicle can be equipped with the following
Driving Safety Systems:
• Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
• Electronic brake force distribution (EBV)
• Acceleration skid control (ASR)
• Brake assist system (BAS)
1
• Electronic stability program (ESP)*
NOTE: The maximum effectiveness of ABS, EBV, ASR
and ESP is only achieved if you drive with correct tire
pressures and adjust tire pressures to correspond with
the vehicle’s load. In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the ABS and the ESP is only achieved
with winter tires (M+S tires), or snow chains as
required.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle always remove the key
from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the vehicle,
even if they are secured by a child restraint
system. The children could
• injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
• release the child-proof locks by pressing the
central locking button and could thereby open
the doors and
• cause injury to others as a result
• get out of the vehicle and could either injure
themselves when doing so or they could be
injured by the traffic approaching from the rear
• suffer serious or fatal effects in the event of long
periods of hot weather
• release the parking brake. The vehicle could
then start moving of its own accord.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause
severe personal injuries, death and property damage.
