Driving stability control systems
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due
to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions
and systems. When using these functions and
systems, the applicable country provisions
must be observed.
Anti-lock Braking System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during
braking.
The vehicle maintains its steering power even
during full brake applications, thus increasing
active safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
Brake assistant
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces the braking dis‐
tance to a minimum during emergency stop.
This system utilizes all of the benefits provided
by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the emergency stop.
M Drive
Concept
Individual settings can be carried out in two
preassigned configurations for the vehicle.
When the engine is started, an efficient vehicle
state is active by default. M Drive is deacti‐
vated.
General information
Configurations
The configurations are preassigned as follows:
▷ "M Drive 1": relaxed, comfortable driving.
▷ "M Drive 2": sporty, dynamic driving.
