LOW RANGE 4-ETS
ESP
Warning!
G
During off-road driving, a special low range
system for the 4-ETS is operational with
transmission in LOW RANGE mode.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
monitors the vehicle’s traction (force of ad-
hesive friction between the tires and the
road surface) and handling.
Never switch off the ESP when you see the
4-ETS/ESP-warning lamp v flashing in
the speedometer. In this case, proceed as
follows:
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (୴ page 242) and
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 is especially
useful while driving off and on wet or slip-
pery road surfaces.

While driving off, apply as little throttle
as possible.
EBP
While driving, ease up on the accelera-
tor.
The EBP enhances braking effectiveness
by allowing the rear brakes to supply a
greater proportion of the braking effort
without a loss of vehicle stability.
Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
The 4-ETS/ESP warning lamp v in the
speedometer flashes when the ESP is en-
gaged.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.
The ESP cannot prevent accidents resulting
from excessive speed.
The ¿ indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (୴ page 25) and the 4-ETS/ESP
warning lamp v in the speedometer
come on when you turn the key to
position 2. They go out when the engine is
running.
