Spin Control (SC)
The SC function is designed to help prevent
the drive wheels from spinning while the vehi-
cle is accelerating.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
This function helps maintain directional stabil-
ity, for example when cornering, by braking
one or more of the wheels if the vehicle
shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
1
The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is tow-
ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have
begun to sway. See Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA) (p. 283) for more information.
This system is automatically deactivated if the
driver selects Sport mode.

Stability system – operation
Operation
Sport mode
The stability system is always activated and
cannot 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. 76).
In Sport mode, the engine management sys-
tem 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
driving 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 acceler-
ator pedal, ETC will also activate to help sta-
bilize 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.
