2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Operators Manual ML320 ML430 ML55 AMG

Electronic stability program (ESP)
Warning!
Important!
If the ESP warning lampv flashes:
During take-off apply as little throttle as possible.
ESP cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle,  nor can it increase the
traction afforded. The ESP cannot prevent
accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, or aquaplaning. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.
The capabilities of an ESP equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.
•  While driving ease up on the accelerator.
Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions.
Do not switch off the ESP.
Caution!
If the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised (see
towing the vehicle on page 255), the engine must be
shut off (key in steering lock position 0 or 1). Otherwise,
the ESP will immediately be engaged and will apply the
rear wheel brakes.
The ESP enhances directional control and reduces
driving wheel spin of the vehicle under various driving
conditions.
Over-/understeering of the vehicle is counteracted by
applying brakes to the appropriate wheel to create a
countervailing vehicle movement. Engine torque is also
limited. The ESP warning lamp, located in the
speedometer dial, starts to flash when ESP is in
operation.
Notes:
The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined
with that of the BAS.
The yellow BAS/ESP malfunction indicator lamp¿
in the instrument cluster and the yellow ESP warning
lampv in the speedometer dial come on with the
key in steering lock position 2. They should go out with
the engine running.
