4MATIC

™

PERMANENT ALL

WHEEL DRIVE 15

In control at all times.

Consider that your car connects with the road in just four places.

Mercedes-Benz has ensured that those interactions are always to the

driver’s advantage with an integrated traction system. Our 4MATIC

™

permanent all-wheel drive system provides unparalleled driving confidence,

no matter what the season or road conditions. It is always engaged,

relentlessly sending torque to each wheel for optimal traction and control.

Working simultaneously with 4MATIC

™

is our 4-wheel Electronic Traction

System

(

ETS

)

. It monitors each wheel for the first sign of wheel slippage,

and then individually brakes the slipping wheels to maintain the perfect

balance of power and traction. In extreme conditions, power will go to just

a single wheel, if that is what is required to keep you moving forward

safely. This continuous sensing, reacting and adjusting produces unrivalled

all-wheel drive stability and performance.
