Connecting and disconnecting the
ESC and T
CS
The ESC is switched on automatically when the
engine is started, and only works when the en-
gine is running and includes the ABS, EDS and
TCS systems.
The TCS function should only be switched o in
situations in which traction is insucient.
Depending on the finishes and versions, there is
the possibility of disconnecting only the TCS or
activating the ESC in “Sport” mode.
Disconnecting and connecting the TCS
●
The TCS can be turned on or o in the in-
fotainment system: function button
> Assis-
t
ants > ESC menu ›››page40.
When the TC is switched o, the control lamp
lights up on the instrument cluster.
Disconnecting and connecting the ESC in
“Spor
t” mode
●
The ECS in “Sport” mode can be turned on
or o in the infotainment system: press the
function button
> Assistants > ESC menu
›››page40.
When “Sport” mode is connect
ed, the interven-
tions of the ESC to stabilise the vehicle, and the
traction control (TCS) interventions are limited.
In vehicles with 4-wheel drive, the TCS is dis-
connected completely . In addition, the control
lamp
lights up on the instrument cluster.
WARNING
The ESC Sport mode should be activated
only when tr
ac conditions and the ability
of the driver allow it. Danger of skidding!
●
With ESC in Sport mode, the stabilising
function will be limited to allow for a sportier
drive. The vehicle may skid.
Note
If the TCS is disconnected or “Sport” mode
is sel
ected, the cruise control system will be
switched o.

The brake assist systems make noises
When the described brake assist systems inter-
vene, you may hear noises.
WARNING
●
When the ignition is switched on, the sta-
t
us of the brake system and the brake assist
functions are automatically checked. The
control lamps on the instrument cluster light
up briefly and then go out. Any indicator
lamp that remains on indicates a fault. Seek
qualified technical assistance immediately.
●
If the brake system warning light
comes
on t
ogether with the
control lamp, the ABS
r
egulation function may not work and the
rear wheels may lock relatively quickly when
braking. This can lead to loss of control of
the vehicle! If possible, slow down and drive
slowly and carefully to the nearest specialist
workshop to have the brake system inspec-
ted. During this journey, avoid heavy braking
and any sudden manoeuvres.
●
If the control lamp
does not go out, or
comes on whil
e driving, it means that the ABS
is not working properly. The vehicle can only
be stopped using normal braking (without
