ESP ® (Electronic Stability Program)
Important safety notes
G
Warning
Observe "Important safety notes"
(
Y
page 61).
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.
If ESP
®
intervenes, the
ä
warning lamp
flashes in the instrument cluster.
G
Warning!
Never switch off the ESP when you see the
ESP warning lamp
ä
flashing in the
instrument cluster. In this case proceed as
follows:
R
When driving off, apply as little throttle as
possible.
R
While driving, ease up on the accelerator
pedal.
R
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 resulting from excessive
speed.
! Vehicles without 4MATIC: switch the
ignition off when:
R
the parking brake is being tested using a
dynamometer
R
the vehicle is being towed with the front
axle raised
Application of the brakes by ESP
®
may
otherwise destroy the brake system.
! Vehicles with 4MATIC: switch off the
ignition when the parking brake is being
tested on a brake dynamometer.
Application of the brakes by ESP
®
may
otherwise destroy the brake system.
! Vehicles with 4MATIC: function or
performance tests may only be carried out
on a 2-axle dynamometer. If you wish to
operate the vehicle on such a
dynamometer, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center in
advance. You could otherwise damage the
drive train or the brake system.
i Only use wheels with the recommended
tire sizes. Only then will ESP
®
function
properly.
ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System)
G
Warning
Observe "Important safety notes"
(
Y
page 61).
Traction control is part of ESP
®
.
Traction control brakes the drive wheels
individually if they spin. This enables you to
pull away and accelerate on slippery surfaces,
for example if the road surface is slippery on
one side. On vehicles with 4MATIC, more
drive torque is also transferred to the wheel
or wheels with traction.
Traction control remains active if you
deactivate ESP
®
.
Deactivating/activating ESP
®
(except
AMG vehicles)
G
Warning
The ESP
®
should not be switched off during
normal driving other than in the
circumstances described below. Disabling
the system will reduce vehicle stability in
driving maneuvers.
Do not switch off the ESP
®
when a spare
wheel is mounted.
