Electronic traction system
The electronic traction system is a compo-
nent of ESP
®
.
The electronic traction system improves
the vehicle’s ability to utilize available trac-
tion, especially under slippery road condi-
tions by applying the brakes to a spinning
wheel.
When you switch off the ESP
®
, the elec-
tronic traction system is still enabled.
Switching off the ESP
®
To improve the vehicle’s traction, switch
off the ESP
®
in driving situations where it
would be advantageous to have the drive
wheels spin and thus cut into surfaces for
better grip such as:
when driving with snow chains
in deep snow
in sand or gravel
When you switch off the ESP
®
the ESP
®
does not stabilize the vehicle
the engine output is not limited, which
allows the drive wheels to spin and
thus cut into surfaces for better grip
the electronic traction system will still
apply the brakes to a spinning wheel
the ESP
®
continues to operate when
you are braking
you cannot activate the cruise control
or the Distronic* system
the cruise control or the Distronic*
system switch off if currently activated
Warning! G
If you are driving too fast, the electronic
traction system cannot reduce the risk of an
accident.
The electronic traction system cannot pre-
vent the natural laws of physics from acting
on the vehicle.
Warning! G
ESP
®
should not be switched off during nor-
mal driving other than in the circumstances
described below. Disabling of the system
will reduce vehicle stability in standard driv-
ing maneuvers.
Do not switch off the ESP
®
when a spare
wheel is mounted.
Warning! G
Switch on the ESP
®
immediately if the afore-
mentioned circumstances do not apply any-
more. Otherwise the ESP
®
will not stabilize
the vehicle when it is starting to skid or a
wheel is spinning.
