Function of EBD
Electronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD) is char‐
acterised by the following:
R
Monitoring and regulating the brake pressure
on the rear wheels.
R
Improved driving stability when braking,
especially on bends.
Function of STEER CONTROL
STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a
noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in
the direction required for vehicle stabilisation.
This steering recommendation is given particu‐
larly in the following situations:
R
Both right wheels or both left wheels are on
a wet or slippery road surface when you
brake.
R
The vehicle starts to skid.
System limits
STEER CONTROL may be impaired or may not
function in the following situations:
R
ESP
®
is deactivated.
R
ESP
®
is malfunctioning.
R
The steering is malfunctioning.
If ESP
®
is malfunctioning, you will be assisted
further by the electric power steering.
Function of Active Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist consists of the following
functions:
R
Distance warning function
R
Autonomous braking function
R
Situation-dependent braking assistance
R
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age: Evasive Steering Assist and cornering
function
Active Brake Assist can help you to minimise the
risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists, large
animals (at animal crossings) or pedestrians, or
reduce the effects of such a collision.
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: to
minimise the risk of collision when pulling away
even further, Active Brake Assist also limits the
possible acceleration.
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package:
Active Brake Assist can also help to minimise the
risk of collision with pedestrians and cyclists
when turning by monitoring the area which the
vehicle will cross.
If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli‐
sion, a warning tone sounds and the L dis‐
tance warning lamp lights up.
