The following points should be taken into account:
accidents, serious injuries and damage to the
vehicle may occur.
•
Always keep an eye on the traffic and be
aware of the vehicle's surroundings.
•
If this is the case, the parking exit assistant
cannot detect all approaching objects, e.g.
objects that are very close to the parking
space.
quickly or pedestrians.
Intelligent brake assist technology cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and only works within the limits of the
systems. Driving at high speed on icy, slippery or
wet roads may cause loss of control of the
vehicle.
and serious injuries to the driver and passengers.
•
Always adapt the speed and driving style to
the visibility, weather and driving conditions.
and traffic conditions. Never take any risk that
compromises safety.
•
Brake assist systems cannot prevent an
accident when driving too close to other
vehicles.
•
Always use suitable tyres. Driving stability
depends on the grip of the tyres.
tyres.
The effectiveness of ESC may be significantly
impaired if components or systems which affect
the driving dynamics have not been properly
maintained or are not functioning correctly. This
can occur especially if suspension modifications
are made or unauthorised wheel/tyre
combinations are used.
Frequency assistance systems
nada
Brake assist systems can help the driver in critical
driving or braking situations. The driver is
responsible for safe driving → .
When the brake assist systems are adjusting, the
brake pedal may move or noises may occur.
However, continue braking with the necessary
force and, if necessary, control the vehicle's
trajectory.
—
ESC, ABS and ASR can only function correctly if
all four wheels are fitted with the tyres
provided.
—
If the ABS malfunctions, the ESC, ASR and EDS
also cease to function.
Depending on the equipment, vehicle settings can
be made for ESC or ASR.
→ p. 164.
Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESC)
ESC helps to reduce the risk of skidding and to
improve stability in certain driving situations →
.
Anti-Skid Speed Regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces the driving force on the driving wheels
and adapts the driving force to the road
conditions. ASR facilitates starting, acceleration
and hill climbing → page 164.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS can prevent the wheels from locking during
braking until shortly before the vehicle comes to a
stop and helps the driver to maintain control of the
steering and the vehicle → p. 164.
Brake Assist (BAS)
Brake Assist (BAS) can help to reduce the braking
distance. Brake Assist increases the pressure
exerted by the driver when pressing the brake
pedal quickly in emergency situations.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDS and XDS)
EDS automatically brakes the spinning wheels and
transmits the driving force to the other driving
wheels.
XDS improves traction by intervening with the
brakes to keep the vehicle in its lane.
Multi-collision
braking
Multi-collision braking automatically triggers braking if
the airbag control unit detects a collision in the
event of an accident.
Requirements for automatic braking:
—
The driver is not pressing the accelerator pedal.
