R
strong radar reflections, for example, in
multi-storey car parks
R
a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
motorcycle
R
a vehicle travelling in front on a different
line
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at slow speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.
Adaptive brake lamps
Adaptive Brake Assist warns following traffic
in an emergency braking situation:
R
by means of flashing brake lamps
R
the hazard warning lamps are activated
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 50 km/h or if braking is assisted by BAS
or BAS PLUS, the brake lamps flash rapidly.
In this way, traffic travelling behind you is
warned in an even more noticeable manner.
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 70 km/h to a standstill, the hazard warn-
ing lamps are activated automatically. If the
brakes are applied again, the brake lamps
light up continuously. The hazard warning
lamps switch off automatically if you travel
faster than 10 km/h. You can also switch off
the hazard warning lamps using the hazard
warning button (

ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program)
General notes
i Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 64).
ESP
®
monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tyres
and the road surface.
If ESP
®
detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilise the
vehicle. 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 stabilise the vehicle during braking.
ETS (Electronic Traction System)
i Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y
page 64).
ETS traction control is part of ESP
®
.
ETS 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. In
addition, more drive torque is transferred to
the wheel or wheels with traction.
ETS remains active when you deactivate
ESP
®
.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If ESP
®
is malfunctioning, ESP
®
is unable to
stabilise the vehicle. In addition, other driving
safety systems are switched off. This increa-
ses the risk of skidding and an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP
®
checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
! When testing the electric parking brake
on a braking dynamometer, switch off the
ignition. Application of the brakes by
ESP
®
may otherwise destroy the brake sys-
tem.
When towing your vehicle with the front axle
raised, observe the notes on
ESP
®
(
Y
page 310).
ESP
®
is deactivated if the
å
ESP
®
OFF
warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights
up continuously when the engine is running.
If the
÷
ESP
®
warning lamp and the
å
ESP
®
OFF warning lamp are lit contin-
uously, ESP
®
is not available due to a mal-
function.
