While driving off, apply as little throttle
as possible.
Otherwise, the 4-ETS will engage the
brakes and seriously damage the brake
system.
The 4-ETS function is available between ve-

While driving ease up on the accelera-
tor.
(60
km/h).
Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
The ESP warning lamp v in the instru-
ment cluster (୴ page 24) lights up when
you turn the key to position 2. It goes out
when the engine is running.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (୴ page 238).
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.
The 4-ETS cannot prevent accidents result-
ing from excessive speed.
The ESP warning lamp v starts to flash
at any vehicle speed, as soon as the tires
lose traction and the wheels begin to spin.
