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 vehicle 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 76).

ETS traction control is part of ESP

. On vehi-

cles 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 trans-

ferred to the wheel or wheels with traction.

Traction control remains active, even if you

deactivate ESP

Important safety notes

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.

Vehicles without 4MATIC: observe the notes

on ESP

(Y page 437) when towing the vehi-

cle with a raised rear axle.

ESP

is only deactivated if the å warning

lamp is lit continuously.

If the ÷ warning lamp lights up continu-

ously, ESP

is not available due to a malfunc-

tion.

Observe the information on warning lamps

(Y page 360) and display messages which

may be shown in the instrument cluster

(Y page 317).

Only use wheels with the recommended tire

sizes. Only then will ESP

function properly.
