ESP trailer stabilisation may be impaired or
may not function if:
The trailer is not connected correctly or is
R
not detected properly by the vehicle.
Function of EBD
Electronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD) is char‐
acterised by the following:
Monitoring and regulating the brake pressure
R
on the rear wheels.
Improved driving stability when braking,

especially on bends.
Function of STEER CONTROL
STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a
noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in
the direction required for vehicle stabilisation.
This steering recommendation is given particu‐
larly in the following situations:
Both right wheels or both left wheels are on
R
a wet or slippery road surface when you
brake.

function
Active Brake Assist can help you to minimise the
risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or
pedestrians, or reduce the effects of such a colli‐
sion.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli‐
sion, a warning tone sounds and the L dis‐
tance warning lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster.
If you do not react to the warning, autonomous
braking can be initiated in critical situations.
In especially critical situations, Active Brake
Assist can initiate autonomous braking directly.
In this case, the warning lamp and warning tone
occur simultaneously with the braking applica‐
tion.
If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa‐
tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak‐
ing, situation-dependent braking assistance
