GRisk of accident
If BAS has malfunctioned, the braking sys-
tem remains available with full brake boost-
ing effect. However, braking force is not
automatically increased in emergency
braking situations and the stopping dis-
tance may increase.
Adaptive brake lamps
iAdaptive brake lamps are only available in
certain countries.
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 50 km/h or if braking is assisted by BAS,
the brake lamps flash rapidly. In this way,
traffic travelling behind you is warned in an
even more noticeable manner.
If you brake sharply from a speed of more
than 70 km/h to a standstill, the hazard warn-
ing lamps are activated automatically. If the
brakes are applied again, the brake lamps
light up continuously. The hazard warning
lamps switch off automatically if you travel
faster than 10 km/h. You can also switch off
the hazard warning lamps using the hazard
warning switch button (Ypage 79).
ESP®(Electronic Stability Program)
ESP®monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between tyres and
the road surface.
ESP®detects when a wheel spins or the vehi-
cle starts to skid. ESP®stabilises the vehicle
by targeted braking of individual wheels and
by limiting engine power. It assists you when
pulling away on wet or slippery roads. ESP®
also stabilises the vehicle during braking.
When ESP®intervenes, the vwarning
lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.
GRisk of accident
If the vwarning lamp in the instrument
cluster flashes, proceed as follows:
Ronly depress the accelerator pedal as far
as necessary when pulling away.
Radapt your driving style to suit the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions.
The vehicle could otherwise go into a skid.
ESP®cannot reduce the risk of an accident
if you drive too fast. ESP®cannot override
the laws of physics.
!The ignition must be switched off (key in
position 0or 1in the ignition lock), if:
Rthe parking brake is being tested using a
dynamometer
Rthe vehicle is being towed with the front
axle raised
Application of the brakes by ESP®could
otherwise destroy the brake system on the
front axle.
iOnly use wheels with the recommended
tyre sizes. Only then will ESP®function
properly.
Steering assistant STEER CONTROL
The steering assistant STEER CONTROL helps
you by transmitting a noticeable steering
force to the steering wheel in the direction
required for vehicle stabilisation. This steer-
ing assistance is provided in particular if:
Rboth right wheels or both left wheels are on
a wet or slippery road surface when you
brake
Rthe vehicle starts to skid
You have control over the steering at all
times.
GRisk of accident
If there is an ESP®malfunction, you will not
receive any steering assistance from the
