Safety and Security Driving safety systems BAS Plus* The Brake Assist System Plus (BAS Plus) operates in emergency braking situations and uses radar sensors* to assess the traffic situation. BAS Plus assists you in braking at speeds above approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). When travelling in Canada in a vehicle not registered in Canada, you must switch off the radar sensor system* ( page 272). Canadian law does not permit the use of the radar sensor system* ( page 272) for vehicles from outside of Canada. When you switch off the radar sensor system*, the following functions are deactivated: BAS Plus DISTRONIC Plus* ( page 411) Park Assist* ( page 435) PRE-SAFE® Brake* ( page 73) i USA only: This device has been approved by the FCC as a "Vehicular Radar System".

Do not tamper with, alter, or use in any non-approved way. Any unauthorized modification to this device could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Warning! G BAS Plus is a convenience system designed to assist the driver during vehicle operation. The responsibility for the vehicle speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead, including most importantly brake operation to assure safe stopping distance, always remains with the driver. Always pay attention to traffic conditions even while BAS Plus is switched on. Otherwise, you may not be able to recognize dangerous situations until it is too late and could cause an accident resulting in personal or fatal injury to you or others. i Canada only: This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
