WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident when in LOW RANGE on slip‐
pery road sur faces
The wheels can block and thus lose traction
on slippery road sur faces, pa rticularly in the
fo llowing situations:
R ifyo ure lease the accelera tor pedal when
th eve hicle is in motion.
R if off-road ABS inter venes when braking. #

nction of the 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsuf ficient traction. If
yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take
account of road, weather and traf fic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible espe‐
cially for maintaining a safe dis tance from the
ve hicle in front, forve hicle speed, for braking in
good time and forst ay ing in lane.
% In wint ryroad conditions, the maximum
ef fect of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you
use winter tyres (M+S tyres), with sn ow
