Driving safety systems
Introduction

G

WARNING

The following factors increase the risk of

accidents:

R

Excessive speed, especially in turns

R

Wet and slippery road surfaces

R

Following another vehicle too closely

The driving safety systems described in

this section cannot reduce these risks or

prevent the natural laws of physics from

acting on the vehicle.
Always adapt your driving style to the pre-

vailing road and weather and traffic con-

ditions and keep a safe distance to other

road users and objects on the street.

i

In winter operation, the maximum

effectiveness of the ABS, the hydraulic

brake assistant, and the ESP

®

is only ach-

ieved with winter tires (

Y

page 146) or

snow chains* as required.

Antilock Brake System (ABS)

G

WARNING

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.

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.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will

respond even to light brake pressure.
The ABS indicator lamp in the instrument

cluster (

Y

page 24) comes on when you

switch on the ignition. It goes out when the

drive system is active.

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

regulating the brake pressure.

X

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.
A 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 maneuver

X

Keep continuous full pressure on the

brake pedal.

G

WARNING

When the ABS is malfunctioning, the
hydraulic brake assistant and the ESP

®

are

also switched off.
When the ABS is malfunctioning, the wheels

may lock during hard braking, reducing

steering capability and extending the

braking distance.

G

WARNING

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

afforded. The ABS cannot prevent acci-

dents, including those resulting from

excessive speed in turns, following

another vehicle too closely, or hydroplan-

ing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful

driver can prevent accidents. The capabil-

ities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never

be exploited in a reckless or dangerous

manner which could jeopardize the user’s

safety or the safety of others.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP

®

)

Your vehicle is equipped with the Elec-

tronic Stability Program (ESP

®

). The ESP

®

is operational as soon as the drive system

is switched on and it monitors the vehicle’s

traction (force of adhesive friction

between the tires and the road surface) and

handling.
The ESP

®

recognizes when a wheel is spin-

ning or if the vehicle starts to skid. By

applying brakes to the appropriate wheel

and by limiting the power output, the ESP

®

works to stabilize the vehicle. The ESP

®

is

especially useful while driving off and on

wet or slippery road surfaces. The ESP

®

also

stabilizes the vehicle during braking and

steering maneuvers.
The ESP

®

warning lamp ÷ in the instru-

ment cluster flashes when the ESP

®

is

engaged.
The ESP

®

warning lamp ÷ in the instru-

ment cluster comes on when you switch on

the ignition. It goes out when the drive

system is active.
Depending on the driving situation, the

ESP

®

R

reduces the speed

R

selectively brakes individual wheels

R

equalizes the speed of the driven wheels

R

stabilizes the vehicle when braking

R

assists you in evasive maneuvers on all

roads

G

WARNING

If the ESP

®

warning lamp ÷ in the

instrument cluster flashes, proceed as fol-

lows:

R

While driving off, apply as little throt-

tle as possible.

R

While driving, ease up on the accelerator

pedal.

R

Adapt your speed and driving style to the

prevailing road conditions.

Failure to observe these guidelines could

cause the vehicle to skid.
The ESP

®

cannot prevent accidents result-

ing from excessive speed.

G

WARNING

The ESP

®

cannot prevent the natural laws of

physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can
it increase the traction afforded. The ESP

®

cannot prevent accidents, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, or

hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and

skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESP

®

equipped vehicle

must never be exploited in a reckless or

dangerous manner which could jeopardize

the user’s safety or the safety of others.

!

Because the ESP

®

operates automati-

cally, the ignition must be switched off

when the parking brake is being tested

on a brake test dynamometer. Active

braking action through the ESP

®

may oth-

erwise seriously damage the brake sys-

tem which is not covered by the smart

Limited Warranty.

i

The ESP

®

will only function properly if

you use wheels of the recommended tire

size (

Y

page 216).

Hydraulic brake assistant

The hydraulic brake assistant operates in

emergency situations. If you apply the

brakes very quickly, the hydraulic brake

Driving safety systems

47

>>

Safety.

Z

assistant automatically provides full

brake boost, thereby potentially reducing

the braking distance.

X

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

hydraulic brake assistant is then deacti-

vated.

G

WARNING

When the hydraulic brake assistant is mal-

functioning, the brake system is still func-

tioning normally, but without the addi-

tional brake boost that would normally be

provided during an emergency braking

maneuver. Therefore, the braking distance

may increase.

G

WARNING

The hydraulic brake assistant cannot pre-

vent the natural laws of physics from acting

on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking

efficiency beyond that afforded by the con-

dition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the

traction afforded. The hydraulic brake

assistant cannot prevent accidents,

including those resulting from excessive

speed in turns, following another vehicle

too closely, or hydroplaning. Only a safe,

attentive, and skillful driver can prevent

accidents. The capabilities of a hydraulic

brake assistant equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dan-

gerous manner which could jeopardize the

user’s safety or the safety of others.

Activating the hazard warning flasher

after an emergency braking maneuver

If you bring the vehicle to a complete stop

by strongly braking at a speed of more than

43 mph (70 km/h), the hazard warning

flasher comes on automatically as soon as

the vehicle is at a standstill. The hazard

warning flasher will remain on until it is

switched off using the hazard warning

flasher switch (

Y

page 68) or until the

speed of the vehicle has exceeded 6 mph

(10 km/h).

Acoustic Vehicle Indication*

Vehicles with electric motors develop con-

siderably lower driving noises than vehi-

cles with combustion engines. Therefore

your vehicle in traffic might not be acous-

tically noticed by other road users in cer-

tain situations.
In order to avoid this, a built-in sound

generator emits a certain noise (Acoustic

Vehicle Indication) within a speed range

between 0 to 20 mph (30 km/h). Thus, other

road users, especially pedestrians and

bicycle riders can notice your vehicle bet-

ter. Acoustic Vehicle Indication can also

be heard inside of the vehicle.
The volume of Acoustic Vehicle Indication

depends on the current engine speed (rpm).

The stronger you accelerate, the louder the

noise. At speed of more than 20 mph 30 km/h

the noise is switched off. From this speed

on the natural noises of the vehicle are

sufficient so that other road users can

notice the vehicle on time.

Anti-theft systems
Electronic immobilizer

The electronic immobilizer prevents

unauthorized persons from starting your

vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the

key with you and lock the vehicle. The drive

system can be switched on by anyone with a

key that is left inside the vehicle.

Safety notes

G

WARNING

All seat adjustments, as well as fastening of

seat belts, must be done before the vehicle

is operated.

G

WARNING

When adjusting the seat, make sure no one

becomes trapped.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv-

ing. Adjusting the seat while driving could

cause the driver to lose control of the vehi-

cle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat

backrest in an excessively reclined posi-

tion as this can be dangerous. You could

slide under the seat belt in a collision. If

you slide under the seat belt, it could apply

force at the abdomen or neck, potentially

causing serious or fatal injuries. The seat

backrest and seat belts provide the best

restraint when the wearer is in a position

that is as upright as possible and seat belts

are properly positioned on the body.
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can

correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:

R

Adjust the seat backrest until your arms

are slightly angled when holding the

steering wheel.

R

Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating

position that still allows you to reach the

accelerator/brake pedal safely. The

position should be as far back as possi-

ble with the driver still able to operate

the controls properly.

R

Never place hands under the seat or near

any moving parts while a seat is being

adjusted.

Failure to do so could result in an accident

and/or serious personal injury.
Observe the notes on the air bag system.

G

WARNING

Children 12 years old and under must be

seated and properly secured in an appro-

priately sized infant restraint, toddler

restraint, or booster seat recommended for

the size and weight of the child. For addi-

tional information, see “Children in the

vehicle”.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is

significantly increased if the child

restraints are not properly secured in the

vehicle and/or the child is not properly

secured in the child restraint.

G

WARNING

Contact an authorized electric drive smart

center if the seats have become damaged.
The seat is an integral part of the vehicle’s

safety system in the same way as seat belts

and air bags. Damage to the seats may

reduce their ability to protect the occu-

pants in an accident.
