Driving safety systems

BAS PLUS can detect obstacles that are in the
path of your vehicle for an extended period of
time. Should you approach a detected
obstacle quickly, BAS PLUS calculates the
braking force necessary to avoid a rear-end
collision. Should you additionally apply the
brakes, BAS PLUS will automatically increase
the braking force to a level suitable for the
traffic conditions.
PLUS will not react to persons, animals, and
approaching traffic or cross-traffic.
BAS PLUS may not detect narrow vehicles
driving in front of you, such as motorcycles
and vehicles driving offset from your vehicle
center.
Following a collision or accident-related
damage to the front end of the vehicle, have
the configuration and operation of the radar
sensors checked at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
If BAS PLUS demands particularly high
braking force, PRE-SAFE® is activated
simultaneously.
X Keep the brake pedal depressed until the
emergency braking situation is over.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
If BAS PLUS is not available due to a
malfunction in the radar sensor system, the
brake system remains available with full
brake boosting effect and BAS.
The brakes will work normally again when:
Ryou release the brake pedal
Rno obstacle is detected in front of your
vehicle
Rthere is no longer any danger of a rear-end
collision
ESP® (Electronic Stability Program)

If ESP® detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilize the
vehicle. If necessary, the engine output is also
modified to keep the vehicle on the desired
course within physical limits. ESP® assists
the driver when pulling away on wet or
slippery roads. ESP® can also stabilize the
vehicle during braking.
stationary obstacles, for example, stopped or
parked vehicles.
For BAS PLUS to assist you when driving, the
radar sensor system must be switched on and
operational. You can check this by activating
DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 179) or via the
"radar sensor" function in the on-board
computer(Y page 232).
G Warning!
If ESP® intervenes, theä warning lamp
flashes in the instrument cluster.
BAS PLUS will only respond with brake
assistance if it has clearly detected an object.
Detection can be impeded by
Rdirty or covered sensors
Rsnowfall or heavy rain
Rdisturbance from other radar sources
Rstrong radar reflection such as in parking
garages
BAS PLUS uses radar signals that are not
reflected well by narrow objects and
absorptive materials. For this reason BAS
