WARNING
ARNING Risk of accident in poor road
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilisation cannot pr event lur ching of
th eve hicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a
high cent reofgrav ity may tip over before
ESP ®
de tects this. #
Always adapt your driving style tosuit
th e cur rent road and weather conditions. When driving with a trailer, ESP
®
can stabilise
yo ur vehicle if the trailer begins toswer vefrom
side toside:
R ESP ®
trailer stabilisation is active abo ve
speeds of 65 km/h.
R Slight swerving is reduced bymeans of a tar-
ge ted, individual brake application on one
side.
R Intheev ent of se vere swerving, the engine
output is also reduced and all wheels are
braked. ESP

WARNING
ARNING Risk of an accident due to
va pour poc kets form ing in the brake sys-
tem
The brake 0uid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of
th e brake 0uid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va pour poc kets may form inthe brake system
when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking e.ect. #
Have the brake 0uid rene we d at the
speci/ed inter vals. Ha
ve the brake 0uid regula rly re placed at a quali-
