Important safety notes
See the "Important safety notes"
section.
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. If necessary, 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.
If ESP® intervenes, the ESP®
warning
lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should you
deactivate ESP® when the
ESP®
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
flashes. Proceed as follows:
• when driving off, apply as little throttle as possible.
• while driving, ease up on the accelerator pedal.
• adapt your speed to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid. ESP® cannot
prevent accidents resulting from excessive
speed.
Vehicles without 4MATIC: switch
the ignition off when:
• the parking brake is being tested using a dynamometer
• the vehicle is being towed with the front axle raised
Application of the brakes by ESP® may otherwise destroy the brake system.
Vehicles with 4MATIC: switch off
the
ignition when the parking brake is being
tested on a brake dynamometer.
Application of the brakes by ESP® may otherwise destroy the brake system.
Vehicles with 4MATIC: function
or
performance tests may only be carried out
on a 2-axle dynamometer. If you wish to
operate the vehicle on such a
dynamometer, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center in
advance. You could otherwise damage the
drive train or the brake system.
Only use wheels with the
recommended
tire sizes. Only then will ESP® function
properly.
