Characteristics when ESP® is activated

ESP® monitors and improves driving stability andtraction, particularly in the following situations:R When pulling away on wet or slippery road‐

ways.R When braking.R Vehicles with trailer hitch: in trailer opera‐

tion from speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h), if thevehicle/trailer combination begins to swayfrom side to side.R In strong side winds when you are driving

faster than 47 mph (75 km/h).

ESP® can stabilize the vehicle by intervening inthe following ways:R One or more wheels are braked.R The engine output is adapted according to

the situation.

ESP® is activated every time the engine is star‐ted regardless of whether ESP® was in ESP®SPORT or deactivated before the engine wasswitched off.

If the ÷ ESP® warning lamp flashes in theinstrument cluster, one or several vehicle wheelshas reached its grip limit:R Adapt the driving style to suit the prevailing

road and weather conditions.R Do not deactivate ESP® under any circum‐

stances.R Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as

is necessary.

Characteristics when ESP® SPORT is activa‐ted

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP®SPORT is used incorrectly

When you activate ESP® SPORT, there is anincreased risk of skidding and having an acci‐dent.# Activate ESP® SPORT only in the cir‐

cumstances described below.

Select ESP® SPORT when the vehicle's ownoversteering and understeering characteristicsare desired, e.g. on designated roads.

Driving with ESP® SPORT or with ESP® deactiva‐ted requires an extremely qualified and experi‐enced driver.

If ESP® SPORT is activated and one or morewheels start to spin, the ÷ ESP® warninglamp on the instrument cluster flashes. ESP®then only stabilizes the vehicle to a limiteddegree.

ESP® SPORT also has the following characteris‐tics:R ESP® only improves driving stability to a limi‐

ted degree.R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.R The engine's torque is only restricted to a

limited degree and the drive wheels can spin.The spinning of the wheels results in a cut‐ting action for better traction on loose surfa‐ces.R ESP® continues to provide assistance when

the brakes are firmly applied.

Information on fuel grades for Mercedes-AMG vehiclesObserve the information on operating fluids inthe vehicle Operator's Manual.

* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel couldresult in damage to the fuel system, theengine and the emission control system.# Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded

fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol byvolume. Your vehicle is suitable for use withE10 fuel.Never refuel with one of the following fuels:R DieselR Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol byvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100R Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with thewrong fuel:# Do not switch the ignition on.# Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐fur, this can produce unpleasant odors.Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso‐line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON.As a temporary measure, if the recommendedfuel is not available, you may also use unleadedregular gasoline which has at least the octanenumber specified in the information label in thefuel filler flap (see the vehicle Operator's Man‐ual).Never refuel using gasoline with an even lowerRON.

* NOTE Premature wear through unleadedregular gasoline

Unleaded regular gasoline can cause theengine to wear more quickly and impair lon‐gevity and performance.If unleaded premium grade gasoline isunavailable and you have to refuel usingunleaded regular gasoline:# Only fill the fuel tank to half full with

unleaded regular gasoline and fill up assoon as possible with unleaded pre‐mium grade gasoline.

# Do not drive at the maximum designspeed.

# Avoid sudden acceleration and enginespeeds over 3000 rpm.
