WARNING

Adaptive Brake Assist does not react:

to people or animals

to oncoming vehicles

to crossing traffic

when cornering

As a result, the Adaptive Brake Assist may not

intervene in all critical conditions. There is a

risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-

uation and be ready to brake.

Due to the nature of the system, particularly

complicated but non-critical driving conditions

may also cause Brake Assist to intervene.

If adaptive Brake Assist is not available due to a

malfunction in the radar sensor system, the

brake system remains available with full brake

boosting effect and BAS.

ESP

(Electronic Stability Program)

General notes

Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-

tion (

Y page 68).

ESP

monitors driving stability and traction, i.e.

power transmission between the tires and the

road surface.

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. The

engine output is also modified to keep the vehi-

cle on the desired course within physical limits.

ESP

assists the driver when pulling away on

wet or slippery roads. ESP

can also stabilize

the vehicle during braking.

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System)

Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-

tion (

Y page 68).

ETS traction control is part of ESP

. On vehicles

with 4MATIC, 4ETS is part of ESP

Traction control brakes the drive wheels indi-

vidually if they spin. This enables you to pull

away and accelerate on slippery surfaces, for

example if the road surface is slippery on one

side. In addition, more drive torque is transfer-

red to the wheel or wheels with traction.

Traction control remains active, even if you

deactivate ESP

Important safety notes

Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-

tion (

Y page 68).

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.

When towing the vehicle with the rear axle

raised, observe the notes on ESP

(Y page 355).

If the å ESP

OFF warning lamp lights up

continuously, ESP

is deactivated.

If the ÷ ESP

warning lamp lights up contin-

uously, ESP

is not available due to a malfunc-

tion.

Observe the information on warning lamps

(

Y page 290) and display messages which may

be shown in the instrument cluster

(

Y page 256).

Only use wheels with the recommended tire

sizes. Only then will ESP

function properly.

Characteristics of ESP

General information

If the ÷ ESP warning lamp goes out before

beginning the journey, ESP

is automatically

active.

If ESP

intervenes, the ÷ ESP

warning lamp

flashes in the instrument cluster.

If ESP

intervenes:

Do not deactivate ESP

under any circum-

stances.

Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as

necessary when pulling away.

Adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing

road and weather conditions.
