While driving off, apply as little throttle
as possible.
!
While driving, ease up on the accelera-
tor.
Because of the ESP’s® automatic oper-
ation, the engine and ignition must be
shut off (SmartKey in starter switch
position 0 or 1 or KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button (୴ page 35) in
position 0 or 1) when the parking
brake is being tested on a brake test
dynamometer.
Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.
The ESP® cannot prevent accidents result-
ing from excessive speed.
Active braking action through the ESP®
may otherwise seriously damage the
front or rear axle brake system.

Do not tow with one axle raised.
Otherwise the transfer case can be
damaged, which is not covered by the
