For more information, see the “Practical 
hints” section (

G

Never switch off the ESP when you see the 
ABS/ESP warning lamp 

v flashing in the 

instrument cluster. In this case proceed as 
follows:

앫

While driving off, apply as little throttle 
as possible.

앫

While driving, ease up on the accelera-
tor.

앫

Adapt your speed and driving style to 
the prevailing road conditions.

Failure to observe these guidelines could 
cause the vehicle to skid.

The ESP cannot prevent accidents resulting 
from excessive speed.

G

The ESP cannot prevent the natural laws of 
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can 
it increase the traction afforded. The ESP 
cannot prevent accidents, including those 
resulting from excessive speed in turns, or 
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and 
skillful driver can prevent accidents. The ca-
pabilities of an ESP equipped vehicle must 
never be exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner which could jeopardize the us-
er’s safety or the safety of others.

!

The ESP will only function properly if 
you use wheels of the recommended 
tire size (

컄

page 453).

!

Vehicles without 4MATIC: 
Because of the ESP’s automatic opera-
tion, the engine and the ignition must 
be shut off (SmartKey in starter switch 
position 0 or 1 or KEYLESS-GO 
start/stop button* in position 0 or 1) 
when: 

앫

the parking brake is being tested on 
a brake test dynamometer

앫

the vehicle is being towed with the 
front axle raised

Active braking action through the ESP 
may otherwise seriously damage the 
brake system.

For information on vehicles with 
4MATIC, see “Four wheel electronic 
traction system (4MATIC) with the 
ESP” (
