Vehicles without 4MATIC:
Warning!
Because of the ESP’s automatic opera-
tion, the engine and ignition must be
shut off (SmartKey in starter switch
position 0 or 1 or KEYLESS-GO
start/stop button* in position 0 or 1)
when:
Never switch off the ESP when you see the
ABS/ESP warning lamp v flashing in the
instrument cluster. In this case proceed as
follows:
The 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
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and
skillful driver can prevent accidents. The ca-
pabilities of an ESP equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner which could jeopardize the us-
er’s safety or the safety of others.

While driving off, apply as little throttle
as possible.
ț
the parking brake is being tested on
a brake test dynamometer
While driving, ease up on the accelera-
tor.
ț
the vehicle is being towed with the
front axle raised
Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
Active braking action through the ESP
may otherwise seriously damage the
brake system.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.

The ESP cannot prevent accidents resulting
from excessive speed.
The ESP will only function properly if
you use wheels of the recommended
tire size (୴ page 394).
For information on vehicles with
4MATIC, see “Four wheel electronic
traction system (4MATIC) with the
ESP” (୴ page 82).
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (୴ page 311).
