EBB
The EBB enhances braking effectiveness 
by allowing the rear brakes to supply a 
greater proportion of the braking effort in 
straight line braking circumstances with-
out a loss of vehicle stability.
ESP
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 
monitors the vehicle’s traction (force of ad-
hesive friction between the tires and the 
road surface) and handling.
The ESP recognizes when a wheel is spin-
ning or if the vehicle starts to skid. By ap-
plying brakes to the appropriate wheel and 
by limiting engine output, the ESP works to 
stabilize the vehicle.
The ESP warning lamp
v in the instru-
ment cluster (
page 24) flashes when the 
ESP is engaged.
The ESP warning lamp
v comes on 
when you turn the SmartKey to position 2
It goes out when the engine is running.
Warning!
G
Never switch off the ESP when you see the 
ESP warning lamp 
v flashing in the in-
strument cluster. In this case proceed as fol-
lows:
While driving off, apply as little throttle 
as possible.
While driving ease up on the accelera-
tor.
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.
