Instruments and controls Driving systems Note: Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index 176 Warning! ESP should not be switched off during normal driving other than in circumstances described above. Disabling of the system will reduce vehicle stability in standard driving maneuvers. Important! If the ESP warning lamp flashes: • during take-off, apply as little throttle as possible. • while driving, ease up on the accelerator. Avoid spinning of one drive wheel. This may cause serious damage to the drive train which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. The ESP warning lamp, located in the speedometer dial, starts to flash at any vehicle speed as soon as the tires lose traction and the wheels begin to spin. To return to the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP: press lower half of the switch (the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer dial goes out).
