Function of 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
Together with ESP
®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves
the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven
wheel spins due to insucient traction.
You can display the current distribution of drive
torque to all four wheels on the head-up display
and in the right-hand display area of the driver's
display. The fuller the respective scale, the higher
the corresponding drive torque.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override
the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and trac conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible in particular for
maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.
%
In wintry road conditions, the maximum eect
of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you use
winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if
necessary.
