TIC
The 0exible all-wheel distribution of the 4MATIC
means the drive is alw ays ideal lydist ributed
between bo thaxles. Depending on the situation,
only the front axle or only there ar axle can be
driven, or the drive can be distributed continu-
ously between bo thaxles.
This means that recuperation can be used even
more e.ectively and thera nge of theve hicle can
be increased (/ page 155).
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into account
ro ad, weather or tra1c conditions. 4MATIC is only
an aid. You are responsible especially for main-
ta ining a safe distance from theve hicle in front, fo
rve hicle speed, for braking in good time and for
st ay ing in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum e.ect
of the 0exible all-wheel distribution can be
achie ved only if you use winter tyres (M+S
tyres), with snow chains if necessar y. Char
