safety systems are switched off. This increa-

ses the risk of skidding and an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP

checked at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Vehicles with 4MATIC: switch off the igni-

tion when the electric parking brake is

being tested using a dynamometer.
Application of the brakes by ESP

may oth-

erwise destroy the brake system.

Vehicles without 4MATIC: when towing your

vehicle with the rear axle raised, it is impor-

tant that you observe the notes on

ESP

(

page 433).

ESP

is deactivated if the

warning lamp

in the instrument cluster lights up continu-

ously when the engine is running.
If the

warning lamp lights up continu-

ously, ESP

is not available due to a malfunc-

tion.
Observe the information on warning lamps

(

page 360) and display messages which

may be shown in the instrument cluster

(

page 320).

Only use wheels with the recommended

tyre sizes. Only then will ESP

function

properly.

Characteristics of ESP

General notes
If the

ESP warning lamp goes out before

beginning the journey, ESP

is automatically

active.
If ESP

intervenes, the

ESP

warning

lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.
If ESP

intervenes:

Do not deactivate ESP

under any circum-

stances.

When pulling away, only depress the accel-

erator pedal as far as is necessary.

Adapt your driving style to suit the prevail-

ing road and weather conditions.

ECO start/stop function
The ECO start/stop function switches the

engine off automatically if the vehicle stops

moving. When pulling away again, the engine

starts automatically. ESP

remains in its pre-

viously selected status. Example: if ESP

was deactivated before the engine was

switched off, ESP

remains deactivated when

the engine is switched on again.
