WARNING
If you leave animals unsupervised or unse-
cured in the vehicle, they may push abutton
or as witch, for example.
They could:
R activate vehicl eequipment and become
trapped, for example
R switch vehicl esystems on or off, thus
endangering other road users
In the event of an accident, sudden braking or
abrupt changes of direction, unsecured ani-
mals coul dbeflung around the vehicle, injur-
ing the vehicl eoccupants. There is arisk of an
accident and injury.
Never leave animals unattended in the vehi-
cle. Always secure animals correctly during a
journey ,e.g. in an anima ltransport box. Driving safe

R ADAPTIV EBRAKE (Y page 56) Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are
inattentive, th edriving safet ysystems can nei-
ther reduce th eriskofana ccidentnor override
th el aws of physics .Drivin gs afet ysystems are
merely aids designed to assist driving .You are
responsible for maintainin gthe distanc etothe
vehicl einfront,for vehicl espeed, for braking in
goo dtime, and for staying in lane. Always adapt
your driving style to suit th eprevailing road and weather conditions and maintain
asafe distance
fro mt hevehicle in front .Drive carefully.
The driving safet ysystems described work as
effectively as possible only when there is ade-
quate contac tbetween th etyres and th eroad
surface. Pay particular attention to th einforma-
tio nr egarding tyres, recommended minimum
tyr etread depths etc .inthe"Wheels and tyres"
sectio n(Ypage 235).
In wintry driving conditions ,always use winter
tyres (M+S tyres) and, if necessary, snow
chains. Only in this way will th edriving safety
systems described in this sectio nwork as effec-
tively as possible. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Genera linformation AB
Sregulate sbrake pressure in such awaythat
the wheels do not lock when yo ubrake. This
allows yo utocontinue steering the vehicl ewhen
braking.
The yellow !ABS warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goe soutwhen the engine is run-
ning.
ABS works from aspeed of abou t8km/h,
regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS
works on slippery surfaces ,evenw heny ou
brake onl ygently.
Important safety notes i
Observ
ethe "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 52). G
WARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking. The steerability and braking charac-
teristics may be severely impaired.A ddition-
ally, further driving safety systems are deac-
tivated. There is an increased dange rofskid-
ding and accidents.
Drive on carefully.H ave ABS checked imme-
diately at aqualified specialist workshop.
If ABS is malfunctioning, other systems ,includ-
ing driving safety systems ,willa lsob ecome

4ETS (Electronic Traction System)
i
Observ
ethe "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 52).
4ETS traction control is part of ESP ®
.
4ETS traction control is no longer active above a
speed of approximately 60 km/h.
Traction control brakes the drive wheels indi-
vidually if they spin. This enables you to pull
awaya nd accelerate on slippery surfaces, e.g. if
the road surface is slippery on one side. In addi-
tion, more drive torque is transferred to the
wheel or wheels with traction.
Traction control remains active if you deactivate
ESP ®
.
Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 52). G
WARNING
If ESP ®
is malfunctioning, ESP ®
is unable to
stabilise the vehicle. In addition, other driving
safety systems are switched off. This increa-
ses the risk of skidding and an accident.
Drive on carefully.H ave ESP®
checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
! Only operate the vehicl
efor am aximu mof
ten seconds on abrake dynamometer. Switch
off the ignition.
Application of the brakes by ESP ®
may oth-
erwise destroy the brake system.
! Af
unction or performance test should only
be carrie dout on atwin-axle dynamometer.
Before you operate the vehicl eonsuch a
dynamometer, please consult aqualified
workshop. You coul dotherwise damage the
drive train or the brake system.
If the å ESP®
OFF warning lamp lights up
continuously,E SP®
is deactivated.
If the ÷ ESP®
warning lamp lights up contin-
uously,E SP®
is not available due to amalfunc-
tion.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(Y page1 59) and display messages which may
be displayed in the instrument cluster
(Y page1 42). Use only wheels with the recommended tyre
sizes. Only then will ESP ®
functio nproperly.
If differential locks are switched on, ABS,B AS
and ESP ®
switch off automatically.
Characteristics of ESP ® General information
If the ÷ ESP warning lamp goes out before
you begin the journey, ESP ®
is automatically
active.
If ESP ®
intervenes,t he÷ ESP®

flashes on the instrument cluster.
If ESP ®
intervenes:
X Do not deactivate ESP ®
under any circum-
stances.
X When pulling away, depress the accelerator
pedalo nly as far as is necessary.
X Adapt yourd riving style to suit the prevailing
road and weather conditions.
ECO start/stop function
The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automaticall yifthe vehicle stops
moving. When the vehicle pulls awaya gain, the
engine starts automatically. ESP ®
