Theft deterrent locking system 75


Ra narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a


motorbike


This steering assistance is provided in particular if:


Ra vehicle traveling in front on adifferent line


relative to the center of your vehicle


G WARNING PRE-SAFE® Brake does not react:


Rto people or animals


Rto oncoming vehicles


Rto crossing traffic


Rwhen cornering


As a result, PRE-SAFE® Brake may neither give warnings nor intervene in all critical situations. There is a risk of an accident.


Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be ready to brake.


In order to maintain an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front and thus prevent a collision, you must apply the brakes yourself.


X To activate/deactivate: activate or


deactivate PRE-SAFE® Brake in the on- board computer (Y page 276). When PRE-SAFE® Brake is activated, the Ä symbol appears in the multifunction display as long as the HOLD function is deactivated (Y page 211). On vehicles with Active Parking Assist, the Ä symbol is displayed when P is engaged or you are driving faster than 22 mph (35 km/h).


Following damage to the front end of the vehicle, have the configuration and operation of the radar sensors checked at a qualified specialist workshop. This also applies to collisions at low speeds where there is no visible damage to the front of the vehicle.


STEER CONTROL


i Observe the "Important safety notes"


section (Y page 66).


STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in the direction required for vehicle stabilization.


Rboth right wheels or both left wheels are on


a wet or slippery road surface when you brake


Rthe vehicle starts to skid


If ESP® is malfunctioning, you will not receive steering support from STEER CONTROL. Power steering will, however, continue to function.

i The immobilizer is always deactivated


when you start the engine.


In the event that the engine cannot be started when the starter battery is fully charged, the immobilizer may be faulty. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).

The alarm is not switched off, even if you close the open door that has triggered it, for example.


i If the alarm stays on for more than


30 seconds, the mbrace (USA only) or TELE AID (Canada only) emergency call system initiates a call to the Customer Assistance Center automatically. The emergency call system initiates the call provided that:


Ryou have subscribed to the mbrace/


TELEAID Service.


Rthe mbrace/TELEAID Service has been


activated properly.


Rthe required mobile phone, power supply


and GPS are available.

Important safety notes


G WARNING If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they could:


Ropen the doors, thus endangering other


people or road users.


Rget out and disrupt traffic.


Roperate the vehicle's equipment.


Additionally, children could set the vehicle in motion if, for example, they:


Rrelease the parking brake.


Rshift the automatic transmission out of


parking position P.


Rstarting the engine.


There is a risk of an accident and injury.


When leaving the vehicle, always take the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. Always keep the SmartKey out of reach of children.


G WARNING When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unsupervised in the vehicle, even if they are secured in a child restraint system, and do not give them access to an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised access to a vehicle could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. They could:


Rinjure themselves on vehicle parts


Rbe seriously or fatally injured by extreme


heat or cold


Rinjure themselves or have an accident with


vehicle equipment that may still be in operation even after the SmartKey has been removed from the ignition, such as the seat adjustment, steering wheel adjustment or memory function.


If children open a door, they could cause severe or even fatal injury to other persons; if they get out of the vehicle, they could injure themselves when doing so or be seriously or even fatally injured by any passing traffic.


Do not expose the child restraint system to direct sunlight. The child restraint system's metal parts, for example, could become very hot, and a child could be burned on these parts.


G WARNING If you attach heavy or large objects to the SmartKey, the SmartKey could be unintentionally turned in the ignition lock. This could cause the engine to be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.


Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the SmartKey. Remove any bulky key rings before inserting the SmartKey into the ignition lock.


! Keep the SmartKey away from strong magnetic fields. Otherwise, the remote control function could be affected.


Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicinity of powerful electrical installations.


When unlocking, the turn signals flash once. When locking, they flash three times.
