The Elect
ronic Stability Program (ESP ®
) can
monitor and impr ovedriving stability and trac‐
tion in thefo llowing situations within ph ysical
limits:
R When pulling away on wet or slippe rycar ria‐
ge wa ys.
R When braking.
If th eve hicle deviates from the direction desired
by the driver, ESP ®
can stabilise theve hicle by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
R One or more wheels are braked.
R The engine output is adap ted according to
th e situation.
ESP ®
is deactivated if the00BB ESP®
OFF warn‐
ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument
clus ter:
R Driving stability will no lon ger be impr oved.
R The drive wheels could spin.
R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
% When ESP ®
is deactivated, you are still assis‐
te dby ESP ®
when braking. If
th e00E5 ESP®
wa rning lamp flashes in the
instrument clus ter,one or se veral wheels has
re ached its grip limit:
R Adapt your driving style to suit the cur rent
ro ad and weather conditions.
R Do not deactivate ESP ®
.
R Onlydepress the accelera tor pedal as far as
is necessary when pulling away.
It can be advantageous todeactivate ESP ®
in the
fo llowing situations toimpr ovetraction:
R When using snow chains.
R In deep snow.
R On sand or gr avel.
% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action, which enhances traction.
If th e00E5 ESP®
wa rning lamp lights up continu‐
ousl y,ESP ®
is not available due toa malfunction.
Obse rveth efo llowing information:
R Indicator and warning lamps (/ page 487)
R Display messages (/ page 425) ETS/4ETS (Electronic
Traction Sy stem)
ETS/4ETS traction control is pa rtof ESP ®
and
makes it possible topull away and accelerate on
a slippe rycar riag ewa y.
If yo u select theF orG drive prog ram, a
special ETS sy stem specifically suited tooff-road
te rrain is automatically activated.
ETS/4ETS can improvetheve hicle's traction by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
R The drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
R More drive torque is transferred tothe wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive prog rams on ESP ®
The drive programs enable ESP ®
to adapt todif‐
fe re nt we ather and road conditions as well as
th e driver's prefer red driving style. Depending on
th e selected drive prog ram, the appropriate
ESP ®
mode will be activated. You can select the
drive programs using theDY NA MIC SELECT
