Vehicle features and options Brake assistant
This chapter describes model-specific equip-
ment, systems, and functions that are currently
available, or may become available in the fu-
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.
The brake assistant automatically applies
maximum braking assistance when the brake
pedal is depressed quickly. This reduces the
braking distance to a minimum for full braking.
Additional information:
To make full use of braking assistance, do not
reduce the pressure on the brake pedal during
full braking.
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.
Antilock Braking System
Dynamic Stability Control
Principle
Principle
The Antilock Braking System prevents locking
of the wheels during the braking process.
Dynamic Stability Control helps keep the vehi-
cle on a steady course in critical driving situa-
tions. The drive power is reduced depending
on the situation, and wheels can be braked
individually.
You remain able to steer your vehicle even dur-
ing full braking, which increases active driving
safety.
General information
The Antilock Braking System is ready after
each time drive-ready state is turned on.
General information
The system detects the following unstable
driving conditions, for instance:
▷
▷
Skidding, which can lead to oversteering.
Malfunction
Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which
can lead to understeering.
The warning light on the instrument
cluster illuminates.
A Check Control message is displayed.
Safety information
Warning
▷
▷
The Antilock Braking System is not availa-
ble.
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, or property damage. Adjust driv-
ing style to traffic conditions. Watch the sur-
rounding traffic situation closely, be ready to
Steerability is limited during full braking.
Have the vehicle checked immediately by an
authorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.

take over steering and braking at any time,
and actively intervene where appropriate.

Dynamic Stability Control is automatically acti-
vated when changing to another drive mode.
Warning
"SPORT": when you switch to this drive mode,
the last setting is automatically reactivated.
When driving with a roof load, e.g., roof bars,
the vehicle's center of gravity is higher. This
increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in crit-
ical driving situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, or property damage. Drive with
roof load only with activated Dynamic Stabil-
ity Control.

Control is deactivated.
Overview
Indicator light illuminates: Dynamic
Stability Control is deactivated.
Button in the vehicle
Warning light flashes: Dynamic Stabil-
ity Control is regulating the driving and
brake power. The vehicle is stabilized.
Reduce speed and modify your driving style to
the driving circumstances.
Warning light illuminates: Dynamic Sta-
bility Control has failed or is initializing.
Driving stabilization is restricted or has
failed.
My Modes
If the warning light illuminates continuously,
have the vehicle checked immediately by an
authorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Activating/deactivating Dynamic
Stability Control
If Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, driv-
ing stability is restricted when accelerating and
cornering.
Setting for increased driving
dynamics
To support driving stability, reactivate Dynamic
Stability Control as soon as possible.
Principle
For a more dynamic driving experience, you
can configure the vehicle for increased driving
dynamics via My Modes.
