On vehicles with all-wheel drive (4MOTION), the ESC brake regulation system can be switched to a sport mode.
Driving situations
In order to avoid risks, the brake systems should not be switched off under
normal conditions→
.
WARNING
When ASR is restricted or ESC Sport is switched on, the risk of the vehicle swerving is significantly higher. The vehicle can be difficult for inexperienced drivers to handle at high speeds. Accidents and serious or fatal injuries could result.
Switching on and off
1. Open the vehicle settings of the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).
2. Open the Vehicle menu.
3. Open the Exterior menu.
4. Open the Brakes menu.
5. Activate the function in the ESC system drop-down list.
If the setting is no longer being used, you should completely switch off the
braking assistance system again→

Noises in the braking assistance systems
When the braking assistance systems are actively regulating, the brake pedal may move or noises may occur.
1. Continue braking with the necessary force and, if necessary, steer the vehicle.
WARNING
If the
brake warning light
comes on together with the
indicator light, the regulating function of the ABS
could be malfunctioning. This can cause the rear wheels to lock when braking.
This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle and lead to accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
If the
indicator light does
not turn off, or comes on during the journey, the ABS
is not working correctly. The vehicle can only be stopped with the normal
brakes. If the ABS is restricted, this may
lead to accidents causing damage to the vehicle and serious or fatal injuries.
