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 vehi-
cle, e.g., due to the selected options or coun-
try versions. This also applies to safety-re-
lated functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
Antilock Braking System
The Antilock Braking System prevents locking
of the wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steerability even dur-
ing emergency braking, which increases the
active driving safety.
The Antilock Braking System is ready after
each engine start.
Brake assistant
The brake assistant applies maximum brak-
ing assistance when the brake is depressed
quickly. It reduces the braking distance to a
minimum during emergency braking. The ad-
vantages of the Antilock Braking System are
thereby utilized.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of emergency braking.
Adaptive brake assistant
In combination with Active Cruise Control, this
system ensures that the brake responds even
more rapidly when braking in critical situations.

Drive-off assistant
Principle
The drive-off assistant supports driving off on
uphill grades.
Driving off
1. Hold the vehicle in place with the foot
brake.
2. Release the foot brake and drive off without
delay.
After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is
held in place for approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle loading or with trailer
towing, the vehicle may roll back slightly.
Dynamic Stability Control
Principle
The Dynamic Stability Control helps to keep
the vehicle on a steady course by reducing
drive power and by brake intervention on indi-
vidual wheels.
General information
The Dynamic Stability Control will detect, e.g.,
the following unstable driving conditions:
▷ Skidding, which can lead to oversteering.
▷ Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which
can lead to understeering.
