multifunction display.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
cause an accident.
Adapt your driving style to the changed
driving characteristics.
G Warning!
When the ESC OFF warning lampå is on,
the ESC is switched off.
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 addition, Adaptive Brake provides the hill-
start assist system (Y page 293).
When the ESC warning lamp÷ and the
ESC OFF warning lampå are on
continuously, the ESC is not operational due
to a malfunction.
When the ESC is switched off or not
operational, vehicle stability in standard
driving maneuvers is reduced.
For more information on the brake system,
see (Y page 349).
Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing
road conditions and to the non-operating
status of the ESC.
Trunk Wing

Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an
extended period with the ESC switched off.

The Trunk Wing enhances the vehicle’s
driving stability. It adapts the aerodynamics
of the vehicle to the driving conditions
according to the speed.

EBP
G Observe Safety notes, see page 61.
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.
Trunk Wing switch: should be used for
cleaning only, see “Trunk Wing”
(
operation.
Y page 360). It is not needed for Trunk Wing
G Warning!
The Trunk Wing extends at a vehicle speed of
above 75 mph (120 km/h) automatically.
Trunk Wing switch: flashes for as long as
the Trunk Wing extends. It remains
illuminated in red when the Trunk Wing is fully
extended.
If the EBD malfunctions, the brake system will
still function with full brake boost. However,
the rear wheels could lock up during
emergency braking situations, for example.
