The EBP enhances braking effectiveness
by allowing the rear brakes to supply a
greater proportion of the braking effort
without a loss of vehicle stability.
The 4-Electronic Traction System (4-ETS)
improves the vehicle’s ability to utilize
available traction, especially under
slippery road conditions. The brakes are
applied to the spinning wheel and power is
transferred to the wheel(s) with traction.

If the EBP is malfunctioning, the brake sys-

speed, as soon as a tire loses traction and
the wheel begins to spin.
Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.
i If conditions require, switch on off-road
driving program (୴ page 279) or LOW RANGE*
mode (୴ page 203).
The 4-ETS cannot prevent accidents resul-
ting from excessive speed.
