Risk of accident G<br />

If the v ABS, ESP, 4-ETS warning lamp in<br />

the instrument cluster flashes, proceed as<br />

follows:<br />

do not deactivate ESP<br />

only depress the accelerator pedal as<br />

far as necessary when pulling away<br />

accelerate less when driving<br />

adapt your driving style to suit road and<br />

traffic conditions<br />

Otherwise, the vehicle could begin to skid.<br />

If you drive too fast, 4-ETS cannot reduce<br />

the risk of an accident.<br />

!<br />

The engine must not be running if:<br />

the vehicle is being towed with a<br />

raised axle<br />

the parking brake is being tested<br />

using a dynamometer<br />

Application of the brakes via 4-ETS<br />

may otherwise destroy the braking system.<br />

Safety<br />

Driving safety systems<br />

ESP brakes individual wheels and limits engine<br />

torque. In this way, it tries to prevent<br />

the vehicle from oversteering or understeering.<br />

The v warning lamp in the instrument<br />

cluster flashes when ESP is<br />

active.<br />

The ESP system improves handling stability<br />

and traction in all driving situations.<br />

ESP only functions properly if wheels with<br />

the recommended tyre sizes are used<br />

( page 398).<br />

The v warning lamp in the instrument<br />

cluster lights up briefly when you start the<br />

engine. This indicates that ESP is operational.<br />
