WARNING Risk of accident in poor road
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilisation cannot pr event lur ching of
th eve hicle/trailer combination. Trailers with
a high centre of grav ity may tip over before
ESP ®
de tects this. #
Alw ays adapt your driving style to suit
th e cur rent road and weather condi‐
tions. When driving with a trailer, ESP
®
can stabilise
yo ur vehicle if the trailer begins toswer vefrom
side toside:
R ESP ®
trailer stabilisation is active abo ve
speeds of 65 km/h.
R Slight swerving is reduced bymeans of a tar‐
ge ted, individual brake application on one
side.
R Intheeve nt of se vere swerving, the drive
sy stem output is also reduced and all wheels
are braked.
ESP ®

ta ined, if necessar y,until theve hicle comes to a
halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend‐
ing on the dis tance totheve hicle in front and

20 km/h and the maximum design speed) and
th e dis tance totheve hicle in front are set and
sa ve d on thesteering wheel.
The adjus table set speed can vary due tothefo l‐
lowing factors:
R The drive program selected (/ page 169)
R Maximum speed, e.g. winter tyre limit
(/ page 212)
R The maximum speed recommended byactive
ra nge moni toring (depending on equipment
and drive program) (/ page 355)
