Functions of ESP® (Electronic Stability Program)

If ESP® is malfunctioning, ESP® cannot carry out vehicle stabilisation. In addition, other driving safety systems are switched off.

Drive on carefully.
Have ESP® checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP® is deactivated

If you deactivate ESP®, ESP® cannot carry out vehicle stabilisation.

ESP® should only be deactivated in the following situations.

If the surface requires, temporarily deactivate ESP® when pulling away More.

Do not operate the vehicle on a roller dynamometer (e.g. for a performance test). If you have to operate the vehicle on a roller dynamometer, consult a qualified specialist workshop beforehand.

If you activate or deactivate the all-wheel drive in a vehicle with this option, ESP® will be deactivated for the duration of the activation/deactivation process.

If ESP® is malfunctioning or deactivated, the warning lamp lights up while the engine is running and the engine output may be reduced More.

Only use wheels with the recommended tyre sizes. Only then will ESP® function properly.

ESP® can, within physical limits, monitor and improve driving stability and traction in the following situations:
  • when pulling away on wet or slippery road surfaces

  • when braking

  • if you are driving faster than 80 km/h in strong crosswinds

If the vehicle is deviating from the direction desired by the driver, ESP® can stabilise the vehicle by performing the following actions:
  • one or more wheels are braked

  • the drive system performance is adapted depending on the situation

When ESP® is deactivated, the warning lamp in the Instrument Display lights up continuously:
  • vehicle stabilisation may be delayed

  • Crosswind Assist is still active

  • the drive wheels may start to spin

  • ASR traction control is no longer active

If ESP® is deactivated, ESP® will still support you when braking.

If the warning lamp in the Instrument Display flashes, one or more tyres have reached their tyre traction limit:
  • adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions

  • do not deactivate ESP® under any circumstances
