lowing situations toimpr ovetraction:
RWhen using snow chains.
RIn deep snow .
ROn sand or gr avel.
% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action which pr ovides better grip.

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction Sy stem)
ETS/4E TStraction control is pa rtof ESP
®and
makes it possible topull away or accelerate on a
slippery sur face.
ETS/4ETS can impr ovetheve hicle's traction by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
RThe drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
RMore drive torque is transferred tothe wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive prog rams on ESP
®
The drive prog rams enable ESP®to adapt todif‐
fe re nt we ather and road conditions as well as
th e driver's prefer red driving style. You can
select the drive prog rams using theDY NA MIC
SELECT switch (
