Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class: Important safety notes
See the "Important safety notes" section ().
If ESP® detects that the vehicle is deviating from the direction desired by the driver, one or more wheels are braked to stabilize the vehicle. If necessary, the engine output is also modified to keep the vehicle on the desired course within physical limits. ESP® assists the driver when pulling away on wet or slippery roads. ESP® can also stabilize the vehicle during braking.
If ESP® intervenes, the ESP® warning lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.
WARNING
Never switch off the ESP when you see the ESP warning lamp flashing in the instrument cluster. In this case proceed as follows:
- When driving off, apply as little throttle as possible.
- While driving, ease up on the accelerator pedal.
- Adapt your speed and driving style to the prevailing road conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could cause the vehicle to skid. The ESP cannot prevent accidents resulting from excessive speed.
Vehicles without 4MATIC: switch the ignition off when:
- the parking brake is being tested using a dynamometer
- the vehicle is being towed with the front/ rear axle raised
Application of the brakes by ESP® may otherwise destroy the brake system.
Vehicles with 4MATIC: switch off the ignition when the parking brake is being tested on a brake dynamometer. Application of the brakes by ESP® may otherwise destroy the brake system.
Vehicles with 4MATIC: function or performance tests may only be carried out on a 2-axle dynamometer. If you wish to operate the vehicle on such a dynamometer, please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center in advance. You could otherwise damage the drive train or the brake system.
Only use wheels with the recommended tire sizes. Only then will ESP® function properly.
