Driving

Depending on the equipment, the ESC and
TCS settings may be changed in the vehicle.
• The ESC, ABS and TCS can only operate cor-
rectly if the four wheels are fitted with the
stipulated tyres
›››
.
•
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESC, TCS and
EDS also cease to function.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC helps to reduce the risk of skidding
and to improve stability in certain driving situa-
tions
›››
.
Traction control (TCS)
The TCS reduces the driving force on skidding
wheels and adapts this force to suit the road
surface conditions. The TCS facilitates starting,
acceleration and hill climbing

.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS),
The ABS can prevent the wheels from locking
up under braking until shortly before the vehi-
cle comes to a stop, and helps the driver main-
tain control of the steering and the vehicle

.
Brake assist (BAS)
Brake assist (BAS) can help to reduce the brak-
ing distance. Brake Assist increases the pres-
sure exerted by the driver when the brake
pedal is depressed quickly in an emergency.
Electronic differential lock (EDS and XDS)
The EDS automatically brakes skidding wheels
and transmits the driving force to the other
driving wheels.
The XDS improves traction by applying the
brakes to keep the vehicle in its lane.
Multi-collision brake
The multi-collision brake automatically triggers
braking if the airbag control unit detects a col-
lision in the event of an accident.
Automatic braking requirements:
• The driver is not pressing the accelerator
pedal.
Electronic brake pressure distribution (EBV)
The electronic brake pressure distribution
controls the brake pressure for the rear wheels
and ensures that this pressure is distributed
optimally between the front and rear axles.
The EBV can prevent the rear of the vehicle
from skidding due to excessive rear wheel
braking.
Electromechanical brake servo (eBKV)
With the ignition switched on, the electrome-
chanical brake servo (eBKV) supplements the
force exerted by the foot by increasing the
pressure that the driver exerts on the brake
pedal
›››
. When a driver assistance system
apples the brakes, e.g. ACC when regulating
the speed, or during emergency braking, the
brake pedal may move automatically.
After disconnecting the ignition, the assistance
of the brake servo is progressively reduced. If
you continue to hold the vehicle in place with
the brake pedal, messages are displayed on
the instrument cluster screen. In this case, the
brake servo function is restricted.
Once stopped, immobilise the vehicle to pre-
vent it from moving

Brake blending
The regulated application of the brakes blends
the braking effect of the electric motor in en-
ergy recuperation and the mechanical braking
by the driver.
WARNING
Smart brake assist technology cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of phys-
ics and only works within the limits of the sys-
tems. Driving at high speed on icy, slippery or
wed road surfaces can cause a loss of control
of the vehicle and serious injury to the driver
and passengers.
• Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. Never take any risk that com-
promises safety.
