Transfer case
This section is only valid for vehicles with 4-wheel drive (4MATIC). Power is always transmitted to both axles.
Performance tests may only be
carried
out on a 2-axle dynamometer. The brake
system or transfer case could otherwise be
damaged. Contact a qualified specialist
workshop for a performance test.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
this purpose.
If the parking brake is being
tested on a
brake dynamometer, the ignition must be
switched off (SmartKey or Start/Stop
button in position 0 or 1), as ESP® will
otherwise automatically intervene. The
brake system could otherwise be damaged.
