Warning!
G
Never switch off the ESP
®
when you see the
ESP
®
warning lamp
v
flashing in the
instrument cluster. In this case, proceed as
follows:
앫
While driving off, apply as little throttle
as possible.
앫
While driving, ease up on the accelera-
tor.
앫
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 result-
ing from excessive speed.
Warning!
G
The ESP
®
cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can
it increase the traction afforded by the exist-
ing road and tire conditions. The ESP
®
cannot prevent accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns or
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and
skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESP
®
equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or dan-
gerous manner which could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.
i
The ESP
®
will only function properly if
you use wheels of the recommended tire
size (
컄
page 482).
!
Because the ESP
®
operates automatically,
the engine and the ignition must be shut off
(SmartKey in starter switch position
0 or 1 or
KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button in position 0
or 1 ) when
앫
the parking brake is being tested on a brake
test dynamometer
앫
the vehicle is being towed with the front axle
raised
Active braking action through the ESP
®
may
otherwise seriously damage the brake system.
