Controls
Measure
1. Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
vehicle. Avoid violent or sudden braking
and steering manoeuvres.
2. Determine which wheel is damaged. To do
this, check the air pressure in all four tyres,
for example using the tyre inflation pres‐
sure indicator of a flat tyre kit. If all tyres are
inflated to the correct tyre inflationpres‐
sures, the runflat indicator might not have
been initialised. In this case initialise the
system.
3. Repair the flat tyre, for example using a flat
tyre kit or by changing the wheel.
System limits
In the following situations, the system could be
slow to respond or operate incorrectly:
▷ A natural, even loss of tyre inflation pres‐
surein all four tyres that occurs over time is
not detected. Consequently, check the
tyre inflation pressure at regular intervals.
▷ No warning can be given in the event of
sudden tyre failure caused by external fac‐
tors.
▷ If the system has not been initialised.
▷ When driving on snow-covered or slippery
surfaces.
▷ Dynamic driving style: drive wheels slip‐
ping, high lateral acceleration.
▷ Driving with snow chains.
Intelligent Safety
Principle
Intelligent Safety enables Driver Assistance
Systems to be operated centrally.
Depending on equipment, Intelligent Safety
consists of one or more systems which can
help to avoid the risk of a collision. Each time
the engine is started via the start/stop button,
these systems are automatically active:

Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not release you from
your personal responsibility to assess the visi‐
bility conditions and traffic situation correctly.
There is a danger of accidents. Adapt your
driving style to the traffic conditions. Observe
the traffic situation and intervene actively if the
situation warrants it.◀
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve you
of personal responsibility. System limitations
can mean that warnings or system responses
are not issued or are issued too late, incor‐
rectly, or without justification. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situa‐
tion and intervene actively if the situation war‐
rants it.◀
WARNING
Due to system limitations, there may be
malfunctions of individual functions when tow
starting/towing with activated Intelligent Safety
Systems. There is a danger of accidents.
Switch off all Intelligent Safety Systems before
tow-starting/towing.◀
