Vehicles without 4MATIC:
Because of the ESP’s® automatic oper-
ation, the engine and the 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.

a brake test dynamometer
While driving, ease up on the accelera-
tor.

Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
Active braking action through the ESP®

brake system.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.

The ESP® cannot prevent accidents result-
ing from excessive speed.
The ESP® will only function properly if
you use wheels of the recommended
tire size (୴ page 473).
For information on vehicles with
4MATIC, see “Four wheel electronic
traction system (4MATIC) with the

hints” section (୴ page 375).
