G
WARNING
BAS PLUS cannot always clearly identify
objects and complex traffic situations. BAS
PLUS cannot intervene in these cases. There
is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired if there is:
R
dirt on the sensors or anything else cover-
ing the sensors
R
snow or heavy rain
R
interference by other radar sources
R
the possibility of strong radar reflections,
for example, in multi-storey car parks
R
a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
motorcycle
R
a vehicle travelling in front on a different
line
G
WARNING
BAS PLUS does not react:
R
to people or animals
R
to oncoming vehicles
R
to crossing traffic
R
when cornering
As a result, BAS PLUS may not intervene in all
critical situations. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and be ready to brake.
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensors checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at slow speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.
Adaptive brake lamps
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 50 km/h or if braking is assisted by BAS
or BAS PLUS, the brake lamps flash rapidly.
In this way, traffic travelling behind you is
warned in an even more noticeable manner.
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 70 km/h to a standstill, the hazard warn-
ing lamps are activated automatically. If the
brakes are applied again, the brake lamps
light up continuously. The hazard warning
lamps switch off automatically if you travel
faster than 10 km/h. You can also switch off
the hazard warning lamps using the hazard
warning button (

ESP ® (Electronic Stability Program)
Important safety notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 64).
G WARNING
If ESP ® is malfunctioning, ESP ® is unable to
stabilise the vehicle. In addition, other driving
safety systems are switched off. This increa-
ses the risk of skidding and an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP
® checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!
Vehicles with 4MATIC: switch off the igni-
tion when the parking brake is being tested
using a dynamometer.
Application of the brakes by ESP
®
may oth-
erwise destroy the brake system.
Vehicles without 4MATIC: observe the notes
on ESP
®
if the vehicle is being towed with the
rear axle raised (
Y
page 348).
ESP
®
is deactivated if the å warning lamp
in the instrument cluster lights up continu-
ously when the engine is running.
If the
÷ warning lamp and the å warn-
ing lamp are lit continuously, ESP
®
is not
available due to a malfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Y
page 281) and display messages which
may be shown in the instrument cluster
(
Y
page 250).
