Driving safety systems
59ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program)
ESP ®
monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tyres
and the road surface.
If ESP ®
detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilise the
vehicle.
The engine output is also modified, if
necessary, to keep the vehicle on the desired
course within the scope of the laws of phys-
ics. ESP ®
assists the driver when pulling away
on wet or slippery roads. ESP ®
can also sta-
bilise the vehicle during braking.
When ESP ®
intervenes, the v warning
lamp flashes in the instrument cluster. G
Risk of accident
If the v
warning lamp in the instrument
cluster flashes, proceed as follows:
R
Do not deactivate ESP ®
under any cir-
cumstances.
R Only depress the accelerator pedal as far
as necessary when pulling away.
R Adapt your driving style to suit the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions.
The vehicle could otherwise go into a skid. ESP
®

cannot reduce the risk of an accident
if you drive too fast. ESP ®
cannot override
the laws of physics.
! If the vehicle is to be towed with the front
or rear axle raised, the ignition must be
switched off (key in position 0 or 1 in the
ignition lock). Application of the brakes by
ESP ®
could otherwise destroy the brake
system on the front or rear axle.
i Only use wheels with the recommended
tyre sizes. Only then will ESP ®
function
properly.
To deactivate/activate ESP ® ESP
®
is activated automatically when the
engine is running.
It may be best to deactivate ESP ®
in the fol-
lowing situations:
R when using snow chains
R in deep snow
R on sand or gravel G
Risk of accident
Activate ESP ®
as soon as the situations
described
above no longer apply. ESP ®
will
otherwise not be able to stabilise the vehi-
cle if the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel
starts to spin.
If you deactivate ESP ®
:
R ESP ®
no longer improves driving stability
R Engine torque is not limited and the drive
wheels are able to spin. The spinning
wheels produce a cutting effect for better
traction.
R traction control is still activated.
R ESP ®
still provides support when you
brake.
i If ESP ®
is deactivated and one or more
wheels start to spin, the v warning lamp
in the instrument cluster flashes. ESP ®
does not, stabilise the vehicle. Safety

X
Screw union nut 5 on air hose 4 onto the
valve.
X Insert plug 3 into the cigarette lighter
socket* ( Y page 181) or into a 12V socket
in your vehicle ( Y page 182).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2 in
the ignition lock.
X Press on/off switch 2 on the electric air
pump to I.
The electric air pump is switched on. The
tyre is inflated.
X When a tyre pressure of 3.5 bar has been
reached, press 0 on the electric air pump
switch.
The electric air pump is switched off.
! Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than six minutes without a break.
Otherwise, it may overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If the tyre pressure is higher than 3.5 bar: X
Open the pressure release screw on the
pressure gauge until the tyre pressure is
correct.
X Disconnect the electric air pump and stow
it away.
Lowering the vehicle X
Lower the vehicle. To do this, turn the crank
of the jack anti-clockwise until the vehicle
is standing firmly on the ground again.
X Place the jack to one side. 1
– 5 Wheel bolts
X Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a cross-
wise pattern in the sequence indica-
ted ( 1 to 5). The tightening torque must
be 130 Nm. G
Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked imme-
diately after a wheel is changed. The wheels
could work loose if they are not tightened
to a tightening torque of 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it and the rest of the vehicle tool kit
in the boot.
Vehicles with the "Minispare"/collapsible
emergency spare wheel*:
X Wrap the faulty wheel in the protective film
provided with the "Minispare"/collapsible
emergency spare wheel* and transport the
wheel in the boot.
or
X Depending on the size of the wheel, the
faulty wheel may also be secured in the
spare wheel recess. In this case, the stow-
age well casing will have to be removed
from the spare wheel well and stowed in the
boot.
i Do not activate the tyre pressure moni-
tor* until the deflated tyre has been
removed from the vehicle. Practical advice
* optional
