WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP
®
is
deactivated
If you deactivate ESP ® , ESP ® cannot carry
out vehicle stabilisation.
#
ESP ® should only be deactivated in the
following situations.
Adjustable traction control is used to enhance
performance on a race track and is only activa‐
ted when ESP
®
is deactivated. You can adjust
the level of assistance from traction control and,
in doing so, adjust the balance between stability
and agility gradually while accelerating.
Traction control supports you only in metering
the engine output. As ESP
®
is deactivated, ESP
®
does not stabilise the vehicle if the vehicle starts
to skid.
%
Deactivating ESP ® and using adjustable trac‐
tion control requires a highly qualified and
experienced driver.
Adjustable traction control may not be used
on normal roads. Adjustable traction control
may only be activated and used on dedica‐
ted race circuits, not on public roads.
Be sure to observe the safety notes and
information on ESP
