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 car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems. The respectively applicable country
provisions must be observed when using the
respective features and systems.
Anti-lock Braking System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during
braking.
The vehicle contains 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.
DSC Dynamic Stability
Control
The concept
Dynamic Stability Control detect for example
the following unstable driving conditions:
▷ Fishtailing, which can lead to oversteering.
▷ Loss of traction of the front wheel, which
can lead to understeering.
Within the physical limits, the system helps to
keep the vehicle on a steady course by reduc‐
ing engine speed and by applying brakes to
the individual wheels.
Information
The system does not relieve the driver from his
responsibility to adjust his driving style accord‐
ing to the situation.
Therefore, adjust the driving style according to
the situation and do not reduce the additional
safety margin by driving in a risky manner.
WARNING
When driving with roof load, for example
with roof-mounted luggage rack, driving safety
may not be ensured in driving-critical situa‐
tions due to the elevated center of gravity.
There is risk of accidents or risk of property
damage. Do not deactivate Dynamic Stability
Control DSC when driving with roof load.◀
