Mercedes-Benz GLC : Driving and parking / Function of the 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 insufficient traction.
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 traffic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible especially
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
effect of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you
use winter tires (M+S tires), with snow
chains if necessary.

pedal beyond the pressure point.
To protect against engine overrev, the automatic

Other information:
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped or
fatal injuries when the sliding sunroof is
closed again
If the sliding sunroof is closed again immediately
after it has been blocked or reset, it will
close with increased force.

Notes on climate control
An interior air filter in combination with the prefilter
in the engine compartment must always be
used so that the air conditioning system, pollution
level monitoring and the air filtration work
correctly. Make sure that the filter is installed
correctly and the filter housing in the engine
compartment is closed correctly using the cap
and always tightly sealed when in operation...
