Deactivating/activating ESP

Important safety notes

You can select between the following statuses

of ESP

ESP

is activated

ESP

is deactivated.

WARNING

If you deactivate ESP

, ESP

no longer sta-

bilises the vehicle. There is an increased risk

of skidding and an accident.
Only deactivate ESP

in the situations descri-

bed in the following.

It may be best to deactivate ESP

in the follow-

ing situations:

when using snow chains

in deep snow

on sand or gravel

Activate ESP

as soon as the situations

described above no longer apply. ESP

will

otherwise not be able to stabilise the vehicle

if the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel starts to

spin.

Deactivating/activating ESP

You can deactivate or activate ESP

via the on-

board computer (

page 221).

ESP

deactivated:

The

ESP

OFF warning lamp in the instru-

ment cluster lights up.
ESP

activated:

The

ESP

OFF warning lamp in the instru-

ment cluster goes out.

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 flashes. In such situations,

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

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.

If your vehicle/trailer combination begins to

lurch, you can only stabilise the vehicle/trailer

combination by depressing the brake firmly.
ESP

trailer stabilisation is active above speeds

of approximately 65 km/h.
ESP

trailer stabilisation does not work if ESP

is deactivated or disabled because of a malfunc-

tion.
