ESP ®
still provides support when you
brake.
R and are driving at above 37 mph
(60 km/h), ESP ®
still
intervenes when one
wheel reaches its grip limit even though it
is switched off.
i If ESP ®
is deactivated and one or more
wheels start to spin, the 00E5 warning lamp
in the instrument cluster flashes. In such
situations, ESP ®
will not stabilize the
vehicle.
i If ESP ®
is deactivated, it is automatically
reactivated when you drive faster than
37 mph (60 km/h) or if a predefined lateral
acceleration threshold has been exceeded.
Trailer stabilization G
WARNING
If road and weather conditions are poor,
trailer stabilization will not

be able to prevent
the vehicle/trailer combination from
swerving. Trailers with a high center of gravity
can tip over before ESP ®
can detect this.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always adapt your driving style to the
prevailing road and weather conditions.
Trailer stabilization does not work if ESP ®
is
deactivated because of a malfunction.
If your vehicle with trailer (vehicle/trailer
combination) begins to lurch, you can only
stabilize the vehicle/trailer combination by
depressing the brake firmly.
In this situation, ESP ®
assists you and can
detect if the vehicle/trailer combination
begins to lurch. ESP ®
slows the vehicle down
by braking and limiting the engine output until
the vehicle/trailer combination has
stabilized.
Trailer stabilization is active above speeds of
about 37 mph (60 km/h). EBD (electronic brake force
distribution)
i Observe the "Important safety notes"
section ( Y page 60). G
WARNING
If EBD has malfunctioned, the rear wheels can
still lock, e.g. under full braking. This
increases the risk of

skidding and an accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
to the different handling characteristics. Have
the brake system checked at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Observe information regarding indicator and
warning lamps ( Y page 250) as well as
display messages ( Y page 228).
EBD monitors and controls the brake
pressure on the rear wheels to improve
driving stability while braking. ADAPTIVE BRAKE
ADAPTIVE BRAKE provides increased

braking
safety. In addition to the braking function,
ADAPTIVE BRAKE also has the HOLD function
(Y page 192) and hill start assist
(Y page 141). Theft deterrent locking system

engine can be started by anyone with a valid
SmartKey that is left inside the vehicle.
i The immobilizer is always deactivated
when you start the engine. 64
