Transfer case
The vehicle has permanent 4-wheel drive (4MATIC). Power is always transmitted to both axles.
Performance tests may only be carried out on a 2-axle dynamometer. The brake system or transfer case could otherwise be damaged. Contact a qualified specialist workshop for a performance test.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose.
If the parking brake is being tested on a brake dynamometer, the ignition must be switched off (SmartKey or Start/Stop button in position 0 or 1), as ESP® will otherwise automatically intervene. The test must last a maximum of 10 seconds. The brake system could otherwise be damaged.
