Adaptive brake lights
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 30 mph (50 km/h) or if braking is
assisted by BAS, the brake lamps flash
rapidly. In this way, traffic traveling behind
you is warned in an even more noticeable
manner.
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 45 mph (70 km/h) to a standstill, the
hazard warning lamps are activated
automatically. If the brakes are applied again,
the brake lamps light up continuously. If you
drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h), the hazard
warning lamps are deactivated automatically.
You can also switch off the hazard warning
lamps using the hazard warning button
(

ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program)
Important safety notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes"
section (
Y
page 59).
G WARNING
If ESP
®
is malfunctioning, ESP
®
is unable to
stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, further
driving safety systems are deactivated. This
increases the risk of skidding and an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP
®
checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!
Only operate the vehicle for a maximum
of ten seconds on a brake test
dynamometer. Switch off the ignition.
Application of the brakes by ESP
®
may
otherwise destroy the brake system.
!
A function or performance test should
only be carried out on a two-axle
dynamometer. Before you operate the
vehicle on such a dynamometer, please
consult a qualified workshop. You could
otherwise damage the drive train or the
brake system.
ESP
®
monitors driving stability and traction.
Traction is the power transmission between
the tires and the road surface.
ESP
® is deactivated if the å warning lamp
in the instrument cluster lights up
continuously when the engine is running.
If the
÷ warning lamp and the å
warning lamp are lit continuously, ESP
®
is not
available due to a malfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Y
page 162) and any display messages that
appear in the instrument cluster
(
Y
page 144).
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 ÷ warning lamp
flashes in the instrument cluster.
If ESP
®
intervenes:
X
Do not deactivate ESP
®
under any
circumstances.
X
Only depress the accelerator pedal as far
as necessary when pulling away.
X
Adapt your driving style to suit the
prevailing road and weather conditions.
i
Only use wheels with the recommended
tire sizes. Only then will ESP
®
function
properly.
i
If differential locks are switched on, ABS,
BAS and ESP
®
switch themselves off
automatically.
4ETS (Electronic Traction System)
i
Observe the "Important safety notes"
section (
Y
page 59).
Traction control remains active if you
deactivate ESP
