Function of the 4MATIC

4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven
when needed. Together with ESP
improves the traction of your vehicle whenever a
driven wheel spins due to insufficient traction.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor over‐
ride the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take
account of road, weather and traffic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible for
maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum
effect of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you
use winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow
chains if necessary.
