Characteristics of activated SPORT han-

dling mode

If SPORT handling mode is activated and one or

more wheels start to spin, the

ESP

warn-

ing lamp in the instrument cluster flashes. ESP

only stabilises the vehicle to a limited degree.

When SPORT handling mode is activated:

ESP

only improves driving stability to a limi-

ted degree

Traction control is still activated

Engine torque is no longer limited and the

drive wheels are able to spin

The spinning of the wheels results in a cutting

action for better traction on loose surfaces.

ESP

still provides support when you brake

firmly

Characteristics when ESP

is deactivated

If ESP

is deactivated and one or more wheels

start to spin, the

ESP

warning lamp in the

instrument cluster does not flash. In such situa-

tions, ESP

will not stabilise the vehicle.

If you deactivate ESP

ESP

no longer improves driving stability

Engine torque is no longer limited and the

drive wheels are able to spin

The spinning of the wheels results in a cutting

action for better traction on loose surfaces.

Traction control is still activated

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST is no longer

available; nor is it activated if you brake firmly

with assistance from ESP

PRE-SAFE

is no longer available; it is also not

activated if you brake firmly with assistance

from ESP

PRE-SAFE

Brake is no longer available; it is

also not activated if you brake firmly with

assistance from ESP

ESP

still provides support when you brake

firmly

ESP

trailer stabilisation

General notes

ESP

trailer stabilisation is not available in

Mercedes-AMG vehicles.

If your vehicle/trailer combination begins to

lurch, ESP

assists you in this situation. ESP

slows the vehicle down by braking and limiting

the engine output until the vehicle/trailer com-

bination has stabilised.

Important safety notes

WARNING

If road and weather conditions are poor,

trailer stabilisation will not be able to prevent

the vehicle/trailer combination from swerv-

ing. Trailers with a high centre of gravity can
tip over before ESP

can detect this. There is

a risk of an accident.
Always adapt your driving style to the prevail-

ing road and weather conditions.
