Driving safety systems 0002Driving safety systems This section contains information about Adaptive Brake Lights as well as the follow- ing driving safety systems:0001 ABS (A ntilock B rake S ystem) 0001 Adaptive Brake 0001 BAS (B rake A ssist S ystem) 0001 BAS Plus* (B rake A ssist S ystem Plus*) 0001 EBP (E lectronic B rake P roportioning) 0001 ESP ® (E lectronic S tability P rogram) 0001 ETS (E lectronic T raction S ystem) ABS The Antilock Brake System (ABS) regulates the brake pressure so that the wheels do not lock during braking. This allows you to maintain the ability to steer your vehicle.The ABS is functional above a speed of ap- proximately 5 mph (8 km/h) independent of road surface conditions. On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will re- spond even to light brake pressure. The - indicator lamp in the instrument cluster ( 0004page 28) comes on when you switch on the ignition ( 0004page 315). It goes out when the engine is running. Braking At the instant one of the wheels is about to lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is in the regulating mode. 0003 Keep firm and steady pressure on the brake pedal while experiencing the pul- sation. Continuous, steady brake pedal pressure yields the advantages provided by the ABS, namely braking power and the ability to steer the vehicle. Warning! G The following factors increase the risk of ac- cidents:0001 Excessive speed, especially in turns 0001 Wet and slippery road surfaces 0001 Following another vehicle too closely The ABS, BAS, BAS Plus*, EBP, ESP ® and ETS cannot reduce this risk. Always adjust your driving style to the pre- vailing road and weather conditions.i In winter operation, the maximum effective- ness of the ABS, Adaptive Brake, BAS, BAS Plus*, EBP, ESP ® and ETS is only achieved with winter tires ( 0004page 530), or snow chains as required. Warning! G Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm, steady brake pedal pressure instead. Pump- ing the brake pedal defeats the purpose of the ABS and significantly reduces braking effectiveness.

70 Safety and SecurityDriving safety systemsThe pulsating brake pedal can be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions and functions as a reminder to take extra care while driving. Emergency brake maneuver0003 Keep continuous full pressure on the brake pedal. For more information, see âPractical hintsâ ( 0004page 544). Adaptive Brake Adaptive Brake provides a high level of braking safety as well as increased braking comfort.Adaptive Brake Lights (S 600 and USA only) Depending on vehicle production date the brake lamps flash in quick intervals while you are braking in order to signal to cars behind you that0001 you are braking strongly at a speed of more than 30 mph (50 km/h) 0001 you are braking with the aid of BAS or BAS Plus* If you bring the car to a complete stop by hard braking at a speed of more than 40 mph (70 km/h), the hazard warning flasher automatically comes on as soon as the vehicle is at a standstill. While the vehi- cle is stationary, the brake lamps are con- tinuously lit up. Once you drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h) afterward, the hazard warning flasher goes out. Warning! G When the ABS is malfunctioning, the BAS, BAS Plus*, ESP ® and ETS are also switched off. When the ABS is malfunctioning, the wheels may lock during hard braking, reducing steering capability and extending the brak- ing distance. Warning! G The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction af- forded. The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, atten- tive, and skillful driver can prevent acci- dents. The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dan- gerous manner which could jeopardize the userâs safety or the safety of others. Page 72 of 705
71 Safety and Security
Driving safety systems BAS The Brake Assist System (BAS) operates in emergency situations. If you apply the brakes very quickly, the BAS automatically provides full brake boost, thereby poten- tially reducing the braking distance.0003 Apply continuous full braking pressure until the emergency braking situation is over. The ABS will prevent the wheels from locking. When you release the brake pedal, the brakes function again as normal. The BAS is then deactivated. For more information, see âPractical hintsâ section ( 0004page 544). BAS Plus* BAS Plus operates in emergency braking situations and uses radar sensors to as- sess the traffic situation.When you step quickly on the brake pedal in an emergency braking situation, BAS Plus automatically regulates the brake pressure to a level that is suitable for the traffic situation. If BAS Plus requires a particularly high brake pressure, PRE-SAFE ® is activated at the same time. 0003 Step on the brake pedal until the emer- gency braking situation is over. During this process, ABS prevents the wheels from locking up. Once you take your foot off the brake ped- al or when there is no longer a risk of colli- sion, the brake pedal functions again as usual. BAS Plus is deactivated. EBP The Electronic Brake Proportioning (EBP) enhances braking effectiveness by allow- ing the rear brakes to supply a greater pro- portion of the braking effort in straight line breaking without a loss of vehicle stability. Warning! G When the BAS is malfunctioning, the brake system is still functioning normally, but with- out the additional brake boost available that BAS would normally provide in an emergen- cy braking maneuver. Therefore, the braking distance may increase. Warning! G The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, fol- lowing another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of a BAS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dan- gerous manner which could jeopardize the userâs safety or the safety of others. Page 245 of 705

479 Operation
Driving instructions 0002Driving instructions Drive sensibly â save fuel Fuel consumption, to a great extent, depends on driving habits and operating conditions. To save fuel you should:0001 Keep tires at the recommended tire inflation pressures. 0001 Remove unnecessary loads. 0001 Remove roof rack when not in use. 0001 Allow engine to warm up under low load use. 0001 Avoid frequent acceleration and decel- eration. 0001 Have all maintenance work performed at the intervals specified in the Mainte- nance Booklet and as required by the Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS PLUS (Canada vehicles). Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Fuel consumption is also increased by driv- ing in cold weather, in stop-and-go traffic, on short trips, and in hilly area. Drinking and driving PedalsPower assistance Warning! G Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and driving are very dangerous combina- tions. Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions and judgment. The possibility of a serious or even fatal ac- cident are greatly increased when you drink or take drugs and drive. Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow anyone to drive who has been drinking or taking drugs. Warning! G Make sure that absolutely no objects are ob- structing the pedalsâ range of movement. Keep the driverâs footwell clear of all obsta- cles. If there are any floormats or carpets in the footwell, make sure that the pedals still have sufficient clearance.Warning! G With the engine not running, there is no power assistance for the brake and steering systems. In this case, it is important to keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of effort is necessary to brake and steer the ve- hicle.
