Crosswind Assist detects sudden gusts of
side wind and helps the driver to keep the vehi‐
cle in the lane:
R
ESP

Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle
speeds between 50 mph (80 km/h) and
125 mph (200 km/h) when driving straight
ahead or cornering slightly.

The vehicle is stabilized by means of individ‐
ual brake application on one side.
Function of EBD (Electronic Brake force Dis‐
tribution)
EBD is characterized by the following:
R
Monitoring and closed-loop control of the
brake pressure on the rear wheels.
R
Improved driving stability when braking,
especially on bends.
Function of Active Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist consists of:
R
Distance warning function

Autonomous braking system
R
Selective braking assistance

Vehicles with the Driving Assistance
Package: Evasive Steering Assist
Active Brake Assist can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with vehicles or pedestrians or
to reduce the effects of such a collision.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli‐
sion, you will be warned visually and acousti‐
cally.
If you do not react to the visual or acoustic warn‐
ing, autonomous braking can be initiated in criti‐
cal situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake
Assist can initiate autonomous braking directly.
In this case, the visual and acoustic warning
occurs simultaneously with the braking applica‐
tion.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa‐
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak‐
ing, selective braking assistance occurs. This
increases the brake pressure up to maximum
full-stop braking if necessary.
If your vehicle is equipped with additional pre‐
ventive occupant protection measures (PRE-
SAFE), these may be initiated when the autono‐
mous braking system or the selective braking
assistance is triggered.
