The respectively applicable country provisions must be observed when using the respective features and systems.
Safety Information on how to ensure the optimal protective effect of the airbags ▷ Keep at a distance from the airbags. ▷ Always grasp the steering wheel on the steering wheel rim, holding your hands at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep the risk of injury to your hands or arms as low as possible when the airbag is triggered. ▷ There should be no person, animals, or ob‐ jects between an airbag and a person.
Controls Safety Automatic deactivation of the frontseat passenger airbags ▷ Do not place objects under the seat that could press against the seat from below. The system reads if the front passenger seat is occupied by measuring the human body's re‐ sistance. ▷ No moisture in or on the seat. Front, knee and side airbag on the front pas‐ senger's side are either activated or deacti‐ vated.
Safety Strength of the driver's and front-seat passenger airbag Controls Supplementing the reinforced front windshield frame, the rollover protection system further increases passenger safety. The explosive power that activates driver's/ front passenger's airbags very much depends on the positions of the driver's/front passeng‐ er's seat. Hints With a respective message appearing on Con‐ trol Display calibrate the front seats to keep the accuracy of this function over the longterm.
Controls Safety safety frame no longer engages in the lower position. 1. Press the release lever to the side and hold it. With use of the system observe further infor‐ mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re‐ fer to page 178. Functional requirements The system must have been reset with the correct tire inflation pressure; otherwise, relia‐ ble signaling of tire inflation pressure loss is not assured.
Safety Wheels, gray Controls Low tire pressure message The system cannot detect a flat tire. Reasons for this may be: The yellow warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed. ▷ The system is being reset. ▷ There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure. ▷ Malfunction. Status information The status control display additionally shows the current tire inflation pressures and, de‐ pending on the model, tire temperatures.
Controls Safety sun will increase the tire's temperature, thus increasing the tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure is reduced when the tire temperature falls again. These circumstances may cause a warning when temperatures fall very sharply. Malfunction The yellow warning lamp flashes and then lights up continuously. A Check Control message is displayed. No flat tire or loss of tire inflation pressure can be de‐ tected.
Safety The system does not measure the actual infla‐ tion pressure in the tires. Functional requirements The system must have been initialized when the tire inflation pressure was correct; other‐ wise, reliable flagging of a flat tire is not as‐ sured. Initialize the system after each correc‐ tion of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. Status display The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can be displayed on the Control Display, e.g., whether or not the FTM is active.
Controls Safety Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, In‐ telligent Safety consists of one or more sys‐ tems that can help prevent a imminent colli‐ sion. These systems are active automatically every time the engine is started using the Start/Stop button: At a glance Button in the vehicle ▷ Front-end collision warning with City Brak‐ ing function, refer to page 115. ▷ Pedestrian warning, refer to page 117.
Safety Front-end collision warning with City Braking function The concept The ystem can help prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be prevented, the system will help reduce the collision speed. The system sounds a warning before an immi‐ nent collision and actuates brakes independ‐ ently if needed. The automatic braking intervention is done with limited force and duration. A camera in the area of the rearview mirror controls the system.
Controls Safety Camera Warning with braking function Display If a collision with a recognized vehicle is immi‐ nent a warning symbol appears in the instru‐ ment cluster and in the Head-Up Display. Symbol Measure The vehicle lights up red: prewarn‐ ing. The camera is found near the interior rearview mirror. Brake and increase distance. Keep the windshield in the area behind the in‐ terior rearview mirror clean and clear. The vehicle flashes red and an acoustic signal sounds: acute warn‐ ing.
Safety Controls collision. At low speeds vehicles may thus come to a complete stop. ▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐ gine, via the Start/Stop knob. Manual transmission: During a braking inter‐ vention up to a complete stop, the engine may be shut down. ▷ During calibration of the camera immedi‐ ately after vehicle shipment. The braking intervention is executed only if DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on and M Dynamic mode MDM is not activated.
Controls Safety shortly before a collision the system supports you with a braking intervention. Under those circumstances it reacts to people who are within the detection range of the sys‐ tem. Detection range Be alert Due to system limitations, warnings may be not issued at all, or may be issued late or improperly. Therefore, always be alert and ready to intervene; otherwise, there is the risk of an accident.
