2005 Mercedes G-Class Owner's Manual - Page 85

Safety and Security Driving and safety systems Warning! G ! Driving the vehicle with varied size tires will cause the wheels to rotate at different speeds, possibly causing the ESP to activate. For this reason, all wheels, including the spare wheel, must have the same tire outside diameter. i The ABS, BAS and ESP are automatically switched off when the differential locks are switched on ( page 158). The ESP cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. The ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or aquaplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of a ESP equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others. ! The engine must be shut off when the parking brake is being tested on a brake test dynamometer. the vehicle is being towed with one axle raised. Otherwise, the ESP will engage the brakes and seriously damage the brake system. 85
