Assist systems

General information

WARNING
The assistance systems only serve to support and do not relieve the driv-
■
er of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
■
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
■
and traffic conditions.
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
■
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
Only activate, deactivate or set the assistance systems so that you have
■
the car fully under control in every traffic situation - risk of accident!

Braking and stabilisation systems


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Stability Control (ESC)
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Traction control (TCS)
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)
Brake Assist (HBA)
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Trailer stabilization system (TSA)
The brake and stabilization systems are automatically activated each time the
ignition is switched on, unless otherwise indicated.

WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 112,
Stability Control (ESC)

Read and observe
The ESC improves vehicle stability when driving at the limit (e.g. if the vehicle
starts to skid) by braking individual wheels to maintain the desired direction.
If there is a TCS intervention, the warning light
cluster.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

Read and observe
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)

113
MSR counteracts the tendency of the drive wheels to lock during downshifts
113
or sudden deceleration (e.g. on icy or an otherwise slippery road surface).
113
If the drive wheels should lock, then the engine speed is automatically in-
113
creased. This reduces the braking effect of the engine and the wheels can ro-
113
tate freely again.
