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 and
functions that are not necessarily available
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-
tions or country versions. This also applies
to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be
observed.
Antilock Braking System ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during
braking.
The vehicle maintains its steering power
even during full brake applications, which
increases the active safety.
ABS is ready when vehicle is ready to drive.
Brake assistant
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this sys-
tem automatically boosts the vehicle brak-
ing capability to the furthest possible ex-
tent. It reduces the braking distance to a
minimum during an emergency stop. This
system utilizes all of the capabilities pro-
vided by the Antilock Brake System ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake
pedal for the duration of the emergency
stop.
Energy recovery
General information
In the event of danger, such as with locked
wheels, energy recovery is reduced in order
to prevent unstable driving situations.
Safety information
Warning
Without energy recovery, there is no brak-
ing power of the electric motor available.
The vehicle could roll further than antici-
pated. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene
where appropriate.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control
Concept
Within the physical limits, the system helps
to keep the vehicle on a steady course by
reducing engine speed and by applying
brakes to the individual wheels.
General information
DSC detects the following unstable driving
conditions, for instance:
– Fishtailing, which can lead to oversteer-
ing.
– Loss of traction of the front wheels,
which can lead to understeering.
Dynamic Traction Control DTC, refer to
page 163 , is a version of the DSC where for-
ward momentum is optimized.
