Stability system – operation
Operation
Sport mode
The stability system is always activated and can-
not be switched off.
However, the driver can select
Sport mode, which offers more
active driving characteristics.
Sport mode can be selected in
the MY CAR menus, see My
Car – introduction (p. 79).
In Sport mode, the engine management system
monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and
steering wheel for sportier driving by allowing
more lateral movement of the rear wheels before
ESC is activated.
Under certain circumstances, such as when driv-
ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or
loose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use
Sport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator
pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize the
vehicle.
To switch to Sport mode:
Sport mode remains active until the driver
switches it off in the menu or until the engine is
switched off. ETC will return to normal mode
when the engine is restarted.
