page 264. The interventions of the ESC, as
well as of the ASR, EDS and the ABS, adapt to
irregular terrain.
In the following exceptional situations it may
make sense to activate the Offroad mode to
allow the wheels to spin:
●
When “swinging” the vehicle to get it un-
stuck.
●
Driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
●
When driving on rough terrain with much of
the car's weight is lifted off the wheels (axle
articulation).
●
Steep descents with braking on unpaved
terrain.
For your safety we recommend that you turn
off the Offroad mode when it is not absolute-
ly necessary.
To disconnect the “Offroad” mode, select a
different driving mode.
ESC in “Snow” mode

Turn the Driving Experience button to select
the “Snow” mode and connect it

page 264. Traction control system (ASR)
interventions adjust to the adhesion of snowy
roads.
To disconnect the “Snow” mode, select a dif-
ferent driving mode.
WARNING
The ESC Sport mode should be activated
only when traffic 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 sporti-
er drive. The driving wheels could spin and
the vehicle could skid.
WARNING
You should only activate the Offroad Mode
or disable the ASR if the experience of the
driver and traffic conditions allow it. Dan-
ger of skidding!
●
With the Offr
oad mode activated, the
stabilisation function is limited. In particu-
lar, if the road is too smooth and slippery,
the driving wheels could spin and the vehi-
cle could skid.
Note
If the ASR is disconnected or the Sport
mode is sel
ected, cruise control* will be
switched off.
