When you take the wheel of a G-Class, you have already delegated some of the key tasks, thanks to a whole host of reliable electronic aids which are activated immediately in critical situations.
If there is a risk of the G-Class skidding, for example, the Electronic Stability Program ESP® springs into action immediately by reducing the engine torque, applying the brakes at one or more wheels and thus helping to stabilise the vehicle. During emergency braking, Brake Assist ( BAS ) builds up the maximum braking pressure within fractions of a second, whilst the modified anti-lock braking system ABS developed specifically for the G-Class helps to ensure that the vehicle remains steerable and that its directional stability is maintained in an emergency. These electronic aids, together with the passive safety equipment on board, help to protect the occupants of the G-Class.
