®
and
makes it possible to pull away and accelerate on
a slippery road.
ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by
intervening in the following ways:
R
The drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
R
More drive torque is transferred to the wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive programs on ESP
®
The drive programs enable ESP
®

ferent weather and road conditions as well as
the driver's preferred driving style. Depending on
the selected drive program, the appropriate
ESP
®
mode will be activated. You can select the
drive programs using the DYNAMIC SELECT

trailer stabilization
&
WARNING Risk of accident in poor road
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilization cannot prevent lurching of
the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with
a high center of gravity may tip over before
ESP
®
detects this.
#
Always adapt your driving style to suit
the current road and weather condi‐
tions.
When driving with a trailer, ESP
®
can stabilize
your vehicle if the trailer begins to swerve from
side to side:
R
ESP
®
trailer stabilization is active above
speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h).
R
Slight swerving is reduced by means of a tar‐
geted, individual brake application on one
side.
R
In the event of severe swerving, the engine
output is also reduced and all wheels are
braked.
ESP
®
trailer stabilization may be impaired or
may not function if:
R
The trailer is not connected correctly or is
not detected properly by the vehicle.
