Off-road ESP
®
An ESP
®
system specifically suited to off-road
terrain is activated automatically once the off-
road program is activated (

Off-road ESP
®
intervenes with a delay if there
is oversteering or understeering, thus improv-
ing traction.
ESP
®
trailer stabilization
General information
If your vehicle/trailer combination begins to
swerve, ESP
®
assists you in this situation.
ESP
®
slows the vehicle down by braking and
limiting the engine output until the vehicle/
trailer combination has stabilized.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If road and weather conditions are poor,
trailer stabilization will not be able to prevent
the vehicle/trailer combination from swerv-
ing. Trailers with a high center of gravity can
tip over before ESP
®
can detect this. There is
a risk of an accident.
Always adapt your driving style to the prevail-
ing road and weather conditions.
If your vehicle with trailer (vehicle/trailer
combination) begins to lurch, you can only
stabilize the vehicle/trailer combination by
depressing the brake firmly.
ESP
®
trailer stabilization is active above
speeds of about 65 km/h.
ESP
®
trailer stabilization does not work if
ESP
®
is deactivated or disabled because of a
malfunction.
EBD (electronic brake force distribu-
tion)
General information
EBD monitors and controls the brake pres-
sure on the rear wheels to improve driving
stability while braking.
Important safety notes
i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (
Y page 65).
G
WARNING
If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheels can
lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the
risk of skidding and an accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
to the different handling characteristics. Have
the brake system checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Observe information regarding indicator and
warning lamps (
Y page 269) as well as dis-
play messages (
Y page 238).
