Adaptive brake lights
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 30 mph (50 km/h) or if braking is assis-
ted 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 automat-
ically. If the brakes are applied again, the
brake lamps light up continuously. The hazard
warning lamps are deactivated automatically
if you drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h). 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" sec-
tion (
Y
page 64).
G WARNING
If ESP
®
is malfunctioning, ESP
®
is unable to
stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, further driv-
ing 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 oth-
erwise destroy the brake system.
!
A function or performance test should
only be carried out on a two-axle dyna-
mometer. 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 the driving stability and the
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 continu-
ously when the engine is running.
If the
÷
warning lamp and the
å
warn-
ing lamp are lit continuously, ESP
®
is not
available due to a malfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Y
page 165) and display messages which
may be displayed in the instrument cluster
(
Y
page 148).
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 slip-
pery roads. ESP ® can also stabilize the vehi-
cle during braking.
If ESP
® intervenes, the
÷
warning lamp
flashes in the instrument cluster.
If ESP
® intervenes:
X
Do not deactivate ESP ® under any circum-
stances.
X
Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as
necessary when pulling away.
X
Adapt your driving style to suit the prevail-
ing 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 off automatically.

tion (

Traction control remains active, even if you
deactivate ESP
