Driving
1)
Only for 4Drive models.
WARNING
When driving without a brake servo or with
r
estricted brake servo functions, the braking
distance can increase considerably and can
cause accidents and serious injuries.
●
If the brake servo is not working, the brake
pedal has to be pressed harder, as the brak-
ing distance increases due to the lack of as-
sistance from the servo brake.
Connecting and disconnecting the
ESC and TCS
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 activated or deactivated
in the inf
otainment system using the function
button
> Driver assistance > ESC Menu
›››page35.
When the T
C 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 activated
or deactivated in the infotainment system using
the function button
> Driver assistance >
ESC Menu ›››page35.
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.
ESC in “Or
oad” mode
1)
Turn the (Driving Experience button) to se-
lect the Oroad profile to be switched on
›››page148. The interventions of the TCS, as
well as of the EDS and the ABS system adapt to
irregular terrain.
In the following exceptional situations it may
make sense to activate the Oroad mode to
allow the wheels to spin:
●
When “swinging” the vehicle to get it unstuck.
●
Driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
●
When driving on rough terrain with much of
the car
's weight is lifted o the wheels (axle
articulation).
●
Steep descents with braking on unpaved ter-
r
ain.
For your safety we recommend that you turn
o the Or
oad mode when it is not absolutely
necessary.
To disconnect the Oroad mode, select a dif-
ferent driving mode.
ESC in “Snow” mode
1)
Use the rotary (Driving Experience button) to
select the Snow profile to be switched on
›››page148. Traction control system (TCS)
interventions adjust to the adhesion of snowy
roads.
To disconnect the Snow mode, select a dier-
ent driving mode.
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.
