Electronic Stability Program.Helps balance the car in case a quick swerve .If light is on it could effect the handling in case a sudden stop or swerve or on a wet road .Mercedes is a fairly good car ,but American Mercedes service is not reputable.My local small town mechanic is by far more trustworthy and cheaper.My experience with multiple Mercedes dealer is they either neglect or overservice by replacing items that maybe did not need replaced and not fixing the real problem .I put the trust of a dealer service in my daughter's car ,which had a severe problem with hydroplaning.After $3000.00 in repair it still had the same problem .I considered it a emergency to get her out of the car .I traded a cash for clunker 1986 Dodge truck for a Volvo s40 and hauled the c230,400 miles back .The car had hydroplaned once and she hit a curve.It apparantly knocked the frame out of line .I am in the process of getting this corrected .Sorry I got carried away.Back to esp.The esp light has been on most of the cars life .Make sure all ball bearings and the stuff that wears out at 100,000 miles are in good shape or replaced .That was part of the $3000.00 I spent .The dealer can get the code for this.Mine read as a rear stabality control module .This is located under the trunk in the middle ,the part is around $400.00 .They make a lot of parts for your safety ,in my experience if these malfunction or need replaced,the car can be very hazardous to drive ,so its best to get repaired by your trustworthy mechanic.I will never own another Mercedes after my experience with this c230.and it has had it's regular visits to dealer for maintenence ,and the odometer sometimes works,but the day I tried to trade they only offered me $2800.00.I will keep it myself and me and my local mechanic will repair what we can .You have to have a special key ,just to check tran.fluid .I probable said to much but maybe something is in here that can help someone else or maybe save a life.

Esp light comes on a Mercedes c200?

The "ESP" system helps correct oversteer and understeer by breaking the inner or outer wheel as needed to get the car back on a straight path. When the light flashes the "ESP" system has detected this condition and has momentarily engaged.


What danger is there when the esp light stays on?

If the car detects a spin in the wheels or the danger of skidding in a turn, the ESP light will come on, verifying that the program is taking control of the car. If the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light stays on you need to see the repair shop. You don't have to be alarmed but it is best to have it checked out soon.
