The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is
operational as soon as the engine is running.
It monitors the vehicle’s traction (force of
adhesive friction between the tires and the
road surface) and handling.
The ESP® recognizes that the vehicle deviates
from the direction of travel as intended by the
driver. By applying brakes to individual

ESP® works to stabilize the vehicle. The
Adaptive Brake
Adaptive Brake provides a high level of
braking safety as well as increased braking
comfort. Adaptive Brake takes driver and
vehicle characteristics into consideration,
thus achieving an optimal braking effect.
In addiditon, Adaptive Brake provides the hill-
start assist system (Y page 183).
ESP® is especially useful while driving off and
on wet or slippery road surfaces. The ESP®
also stabilizes the vehicle during braking and
steering maneuvers.
The ESP® warning lampd in the
instrument cluster comes on when you switch
on the ignition. It goes out when the engine
is running.
For more information on the brake system,
see (Y page 255).

Never switch off the ESP® when you see the
ESP® warning lampd flashing in the
instrument cluster. In this case proceed as
follows:
The Electronic Brake Proportioning (EBP)
enhances braking effectiveness by allowing
the rear brakes to supply a greater proportion
of the braking effort in straight-line braking
without a loss of vehicle stability.

possible.

RWhile driving, ease up on the accelerator
If the EBP malfunctions, the brake system will
still function with full brake boost. However,
the rear wheels could lock up during
emergency braking situations, for example.

RAdapt 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 resulting from excessive
speed.
Adapt your driving style to the changed
driving characteristics.
i Vehicle status messages in the
multifunction display (Y page 270) will
refer to the ESP® as ESC.
