E83166 Brakes
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Disc brakes Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water. ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking. HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when: •
you drive too close to the vehicle in front of you. the vehicle is aquaplaning. you take corners too fast. the road surface is poor.
• • •

E66567 Stability Control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Electronic stability programme (ESP)
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
Stability control (ESP) warning lamp While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 50). Emergency brake assist
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
The system will detect when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It will provide maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. The system can reduce stopping distances in critical situations. USING STABILITY CONTROL
Without ESP With ESP
The system supports stability when the vehicle starts to slide away from your intended path. This is performed by braking individual wheels and reducing engine torque as needed. The system also provides an enhanced traction control function by reducing engine torque if the wheels spin when you accelerate. This improves your ability to pull away on slippery roads or loose surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting wheel spin in hairpin bends.
Press and hold the switch for one second. The switch will illuminate. Press the switch again to turn the system on. The system will be switched on automatically every time you switch the ignition on. For item location: See At a Glance (page 8).

E72903AAABBBBE94885 Parking Aids
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not correctly detect obstacles. The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections. The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves. The parking aid does not detect obstacles moving away from the vehicle. They will only be detected shortly after they start to move towards the vehicle again.
Take particular care when reversing with a tow ball arm or rear fitted accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as the rear parking aid will only indicate the distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).
Note: On vehicles fitted with a tow ball arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are connected to the 13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we have approved. Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: The parking aid may emit false tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle is fully laden. Note: The outer sensors may detect the side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the side wall remains constant for three seconds, the tone will switch off. As you continue, the inner sensors will detect rearward objects. USING THE PARKING AID Switching the parking aid on and off Note: The parking aid switches off automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph). Note: The front and rear sensors are always activated or deactivated together. The parking aid is per default off. To switch the parking aid on, press the switch in the instrument panel or select reverse gear. The light in the switch illuminates when the parking aid is activated. To turn it off, press the switch again. Manoeuvring with the parking aid
Note: If a high pitch warning tone sounds for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates a malfunction. The system will be disabled. Have the system checked by properly trained technicians.
84
E72902 Parking Aids
You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of up to approximately 150
centimetres (59 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, 80 centimetres (31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and 50 centimetres (20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent tone. A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimetres (12 inches). You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than 30 centimetres (12 inches) to the front and rear bumpers.85
Load Carrying
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Use load securing straps to an approved standard, e.g. DIN. Make sure that you secure all loose items properly. Place luggage and other loads as low and as far forward as possible within the luggage or loadspace. Do not drive with the tailgate or rear door open. Exhaust fumes may enter the vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum front and rear axle loads for your vehicle. See Vehicle identification (page
126).
CAUTIONS
Do not allow items to contact the rear windows. Do not use any abrasive materials to clean the interior of the rear windows. Do not install stickers or labels to the interior of the rear windows.
LUGGAGE COVERS CAUTION
Do not place objects on the luggage cover.
ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS Roof rack
WARNINGS
If you use a roof rack, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher and you may experience
different driving characteristics.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are fitting a roof rack. Switch stability control (ESP) on. See Using Stability Control (page 83). Inflate the tyres to the full load pressures. See Technical Specifications (page 125).

Towing
TOWING A TRAILER WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
The rear tyre pressures must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 125).
Do not exceed the maximum gross train weight stated on the vehicle identification plate. See Vehicle
Identification Plate (page 126).
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical weight on the tow ball, of 50
kilogrammes (110 pounds).
Note: Not all vehicles are suitable or approved to have tow bars fitted. Check with your dealer first. Place loads as low and central to the axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are towing with an unladen vehicle, the load in the trailer should be placed toward the nose, within the maximum nose load, as this gives the best stability. Note: The maximum trailer nose weight can be found in the original vehicle documents (confirmation of conformity). Alternatively refer to your dealer. The stability of the vehicle to trailer combination is very much dependant on the quality of the trailer. In high altitude regions above 1000 metres (3281 feet), the stipulated maximum permitted gross train weight must be reduced by 10% for every additional 1000
metres (3281 feet).Steep gradients
WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is not controlled by ABS.
Change down a gear before you reach a steep downhill gradient. TOW BALL
WARNINGS
Never leave the detached tow ball arm unsecured inside the vehicle. This would increase the risk of injury
in an accident.
Take special care when fitting the tow ball arm as the safety of the vehicle and the trailer depends on
this.

TYRE REPAIR KIT Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre. In this case it will have an emergency tyre repair kit that can be used to repair one flat tyre. The tyre repair kit is located in the spare wheel well. General information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of tyre damage, some tyres can only be partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre has already been damaged as a result of being driven under inflated. Do not use the tyre repair kit on run flat tyres. Do not try to seal damage other than that located within the visible tread of the tyre. Do not try to seal damage to the tyre’s sidewall.
The tyre repair kit seals most tyre punctures [with a diameter of up to six millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily restore mobility. Observe the following rules when using the kit:
•
•
• Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or driving manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or you are towing a trailer. The kit will provide you with an emergency temporary repair, enabling you to continue your journey to the next vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive a maximum distance of 200 kilometres (125 miles).
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h (50 mph). Keep the kit out of the reach of children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between –30°C (-22°F) and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the tyre repair kit WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an explosive or propellant. Never leave the tyre repair kit unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating for more than 10 minutes.
Note: Use the tyre repair kit only for the vehicle with which it was supplied. • Park your vehicle at the roadside so that you do not obstruct the flow of traffic and so that you are able to use the kit without being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even if you have parked on a level road, to make sure that the vehicle will not move. • Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating the tyre.
121
Wheels and Tyres
•
Leave the engine running while the kit is in use, but not if the vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for example, inside a building). In these circumstances, switch the compressor on with the engine turned off.
•
• Replace the sealant bottle with a new one before the expiry date (see top of bottle) is reached. Inform all other users of the vehicle that the tyre has been temporarily sealed with the tyre repair kit and make them aware of the special driving conditions to be observed.
Inflating the tyre
WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tyre prior to inflation. If there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre.
Do not stand directly beside the tyre while the compressor is pumping. Watch the sidewall of the tyre. If any cracks, bumps or similar damage appear, turn off the compressor and let the air out by means of the pressure relief valve I. Do not continue driving with this tyre.
The sealant contains natural rubber latex. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with plenty of water and contact your doctor.
If the tyre inflation pressure does not reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within 10
minutes, the tyre may have sufferedexcessive damage, making a temporary repair impossible. In this case, do not continue driving with this tyre.
