Driving stability control systems

Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes equipment, systems
and functions which are offered or may be of-
fered in future on a model-specific basis, even
if they are not included in the vehicle in ques-
tion.
For further information:
Vehicle equipment, see page 8.
Anti-lock Braking System
Principle
The Anti-lock Braking System prevents the
wheels from locking during braking.
Steering control is retained even during full
braking, which enhances active road safety.
General
The Anti-lock Braking System is ready when-
ever you switch on drive-ready state.
Malfunction
The warning light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated.
A Check Control message is shown.
▷ The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is not
available.
▷ The ease of steering is restricted in the
event of full braking.
Have the vehicle checked immediately by an
authorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.

Brake Assist
When the brake pedal is pressed quickly,
Brake Assist automatically provides the max-
imum possible braking force assistance. This
keeps the stopping distance as short as pos-
sible in full braking situations. This takes full
advantage of the Anti-lock Braking System.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
during full braking.
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
The system detects the following unstable
driving conditions, for example:
▷ Loss of traction at the rear which can lead
to oversteering.
▷ Loss of grip at the front wheels which can
lead to understeering.
Safety information
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per-
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa-
tion correctly. Due to system limits, it cannot
respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions. Observe the traffic situation, be
ready to take over steering and braking at
