Rgive an unnecessary warning and then

brake the vehicle

Rnot give a warning or intervene

There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay particular attention to the traffic situation and be ready to brake, especially if PRE-SAFE® Brake warns you. Terminate the intervention in a non-critical driving situation.

In particular, the detection of obstacles can be impaired if:

Rdirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

Rsnow or heavy rain

Theft deterrent locking system

Immobilizer

The immobilizer prevents your vehicle from being started without the correct SmartKey.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. The engine can be started by anyone with a valid SmartKey that is left inside the vehicle.

X To activate with the SmartKey: remove

the SmartKey from the ignition lock.

X To activate with KEYLESS-GO: switch the

ignition off and open the driver's door.

X To deactivate: switch on the ignition.

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).

ATA (anti-theft alarm system)

A visual and audible alarm is triggered if the alarm system is armed and you open:

Ra door

Rthe vehicle with the mechanical key

Rthe tailgate

Rthe hood

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

Rinterference by other radar sources

Rthere are strong radar reflections, for

example in parking garages

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

motorbike

Ra vehicle traveling in front on a different 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 225). When PRE-SAFE® Brake is activated, the Ä symbol appears in the multifunction display as long as the HOLD function is deactivated (Y page 179).

On vehicles with Parking Guidance, the Ä symbol is displayed when position 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.
