2007 Mercedes-benz E Class Owners Manual

For more information, see the “Practical hints” section (컄 page 380).

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. 왘 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.

Warning!

If the BAS is malfunctioning, the brake sys- tem is still functioning normally, but without the additional brake boost available that BAS would normally provide in an emergen- cy braking maneuver. Therefore, the braking distance may increase.

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

Warning!

Adaptive Brake

The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, includ- ing 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 ca- pabilities of a BAS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or danger- ous manner which could jeopardize the us- er’s safety or the safety of others.

Adaptive Brake provides a high level of braking safety as well as increased braking comfort.

Important notes on using the brake system 앫 Following extended periods of only mi-

nor loads to your brake system, you should occasionally apply the brakes when traveling at high speeds. This im- proves the grip of the brake pads.

Warning!

Make sure not to endanger any other road users when carrying out these braking ma- neuvers.

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

앫 After driving on wet or snow-covered roads, you should apply your brakes firmly before parking your vehicle. This produces heat which serves to dry the brake disks and help prevent corro- sion.

앫 On long and steep grades, shift to a lower gear (gear range 1, 2, or 3) to prevent the brakes from overheating and to reduce brake wear.

앫 After hard braking, it is advisable to

drive on for some time so that the air stream will cool down the brakes fast- er.

앫 Only Mercedes-Benz approved compo-

nents (e.g. brake pads) should be in- stalled on your vehicle. Brake pads not approved by Mercedes-Benz may im- pair the safety of your vehicle.

EBP

ESP®

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!

When the EBP is malfunctioning, the ABS, BAS, and ESP® are also switched off.

If the EBP is malfunctioning, the brake sys- tem will still function with full brake boost. However, the rear wheels could lock up dur- ing emergency braking situations, for exam- ple. You could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident. Adapt your driving style to the changed driving characteristics.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is operational as soon as the engine is run- ning and 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 ap- plying the brakes to the appropriate wheel and by limiting engine 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 v in the instrument cluster flashes when the ESP® is engaged. The ESP® warning lamp v in the instrument cluster comes on when you switch on the ignition. It goes out when the engine is running.

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

Warning!

Warning!

Never switch off the ESP® when you see the ESP® warning lamp v flashing in the in- strument cluster. In this case proceed as fol- lows: 앫 While driving off, apply as little throttle

as possible.

앫 While driving, ease up on the accelera-

tor.

앫 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.

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 ca- pabilities of an ESP® equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or danger- ous manner which could jeopardize the us- er’s safety or the safety of others.

! The ESP® will only function properly if you use wheels of the recommended tire size (컄 page 481).

! Vehicles without 4MATIC: Because the ESP® operates automatically, the engine and the ignition must be shut off (SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1 or KEYLESS-GO start/stop button* in position 0 or 1) when: 앫 the parking brake is being tested on a brake

test dynamometer

앫 the vehicle is being towed with the front axle

raised

Active braking action through the ESP® may oth- erwise seriously damage the brake system. For information on vehicles with 4MATIC, see “Four wheel electronic traction system (4MATIC) with the ESP®” (컄 page 105). For more information, see the “Practical hints” section (컄 page 381) and (컄 page 402).

Switching off the ESP®

Switching off the ESP® (except E 63 AMG)

Warning!

The ESP® should not be switched off during normal driving other than in the circum- stances described below. Disabling of the system will reduce vehicle stability in driving maneuvers. Do not switch off the ESP® when a spare wheel is mounted.

To improve the vehicle’s traction, switch off the ESP® in driving situations where it would be advantageous to have drive wheels spin and thus cut into surfaces for better grip such as: 앫 when driving with snow chains 앫 in deep snow 앫 in sand or gravel

102

Warning!

Switch on the ESP® immediately if the afore- mentioned circumstances do not apply any- more. Otherwise the ESP® will not stabilize the vehicle when it is starting to skid or a wheel is spinning.

i When the ESP® is switched off and one or more drive wheels are spinning, the ESP® warn- ing lamp v in the instrument cluster flashes. However, the ESP® will then not stabilize the ve- hicle.

The switch is located on the center con- sole.

When you switch off the ESP® 앫 the ESP® does not stabilize the vehicle 앫 the engine output is not limited, which

allows the drive wheels to spin and thus cut into surfaces for better grip

앫 the traction control will still apply the

brakes to a spinning wheel

앫 the ESP® continues to operate when

you are braking

앫 you cannot activate the cruise control

or the Distronic*

앫 the cruise control or Distronic* switch

off if currently activated

1 ESP® switch 왘 With the engine running, press ESP®

switch 1 until the ESP® warning lamp v in the instrument cluster comes on. The ESP® is switched off.

Warning!

When the ESP® warning lamp v is illuminated continuously, the ESP® is switched off or is not operational due to a malfunction. Vehicle stability in standard driving maneuvers is reduced.

Adapt your speed and driving to the prevail- ing road conditions and to the non-operating status of the ESP®.

! Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an ex- tended period with the ESP® switched off. This may cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
