Read and observe on page 253 first.

In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change

in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order

to reduce the risk of serious injury.

▶

The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-

sioned closely over the body.

▶

Opened electrically powered door windows are closed automatically up to a

gap of about 5 cm from the edge.

▶

The sliding/tilting roof is closed.

Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will

be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.

The first level of protection

The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic

driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in

the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.

▶

In the infotainment system, in menu

▶

By selecting the driving mode Offroad

» page 219

After switching the ignition off and on, the system is activated in both levels of

protection.

The second level of protection

The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as

when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.

Vehicles with the Front Assist system

Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the

danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.

Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist)



Introduction

Fig. 309

Sensor for Lane Assist

The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-

hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor

» Fig. 309

When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system

makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the

boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overridden

at any time.

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems

, Assist systems menu item.

■

Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it

does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for

steering at all times.

■

Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary

lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.

WARNING

The system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it

incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.

■

When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).

■

When driving in “sharp” bends.

■

The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.

■

The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-

hicle.

Driving

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAUTION

Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-

screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.

Note

■

The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate

longitudinal markings.

■

The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

Vertical load with mounted accessories



Read and observe on page 262 first.

When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the maximum length and the

permissible total weight including load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories (from the ball of the towing

device) may not exceed 70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the installed accessory, including its load, cor-

responds to the maximum trailer load on trailers.
If the maximum trailer load in trailer operation is more than 75 kg, then the

permissible total weight of the mounted accessories including their load must

not exceed 75 kg.
This value applies if the center of gravity is at a distance of no more than 30

cm from the towing device ball head.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to the ball head of the tow-

ing device is greater than 30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of

the accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a distance of 60 cm

from the ball head, the permissible weight decreases by half).

CAUTION

Never exceed the permissible total weight of the accessories incl. load and

maximum length of the accessories – There is a risk of damage to the towing

device.
