Fault
In the event of a fault in the Cross Traffic
Alert system, e.g. due to dirty sensors or
a system fault, the following indicator lamp
lights up on the digital instrument cluster:
There is a fault in the Cross Traffic
Alert system.
Things to note for trailer towing
Cross Traffic Alert is deactivated if the fac-
tory-fitted towing bracket is electrically
connected to a trailer. Observe the text
messages in the instrument cluster.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the parking
systems cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the sys-
tem limits. Failure to observe this infor-
mation can result in accidents, serious in-
juries and vehicle damage.
·
The parking system is not a substitute
for the full concentration of the driver.
Pay attention to the
traffic situation and
the area around the vehicle.
·
Always be aware of the vehicle’s sur-
roundings as Cross
Traffic Alert may not
be able to detect all approaching ob-
jects, e.g. pedestrians or objects ap-
proaching quickly.
·
Cross Traffic Alert will not always inde-
pendently bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.
Brake support systems
Information on brake support sys-
tems
The brake support systems can assist the
driver in critical driving or braking situations.
The driver is responsible for driving safety
→
.
If a brake support system is performing
a braking intervention, continue to brake
with the necessary force, and if necessary
steer the vehicle.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the brake
support systems cannot overcome the
laws of physics, and functions only within
the limits of the systems. Driving fast on
icy, slippery or wet roads can lead to
a loss of control of the vehicle and could
cause serious injury to the driver and pas-
sengers.
·
Ensure that your speed and driving style
are always appropriate for the current
visibility, weather and road/traffic con-
ditions. Never take any safety risks.
·
Brake support systems cannot prevent
an accident if you are driving too close
to the vehicle in front.
·
Always use suitable tyres. The driving
stability depends on the tyre grip.
·
Keep the footwell under the pedals
clear so that the brake pedal can move
freely.
— The ESC, ABS and TCS can function
properly only if all four wheels are fitted
with the same tyres.
— If there is a fault in the ABS, the ESC, TCS
and EDL will also stop working.
The status of the brake functions is
checked automatically when the ignition is
switched on. The indicator lamps light up
briefly and then go out again. If an indicator
lamp remains lit up, there is a fault

page 206. Go to a correspondingly quali-
fied workshop immediately.
WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be reduced
considerably if other components and
systems which
affect driving dynamics
are not serviced properly or are not func-
tioning properly. This applies in particular
to
modifications made to the suspension
and the use of non-approved wheel and
tyre combinations.
·
Have modifications to your vehicle car-
ried out only by a suitably qualified
workshop.
·
Always use suitable tyres. The driving
stability depends on the tyre grip.
