functioning correctly. This includes, among others, brakes, tyres and other
systems already mentioned.
x Remember that changing and fitting other components to the vehicle
can affect operation of the ABS, BAS, ASL EDL and ESP.
x Changes to the vehicle suspension or using unapproved wheel/tyre
combinations can affect operation of the ABS, BAS, ASL EDL and ESP and
their effectiveness.
x Likewise, the effectiveness of ESP depends on the use of suitable tyres
page 323.
Note
To ensure that the ESP and TCS work properly, all four wheels must be fitted
with identical tyres. Any differences in the rolling radius of the tyres can cause
the system to reduce engine power when this is not desired.
Note
If a malfunction should occur in the ABS, the ESP, TCS and EDS will also be
affected.
Note
Noises may be heard while any of the above systems are operating.
Turning on and off the TCS
The electronic stabilisation programme (ESP) includes the ABS, EDL and TCS
systems and only works when the engine is running.
The TCS can be switched off while the engine is running by pressing the
fig. 144 button. The TCS (and similar) is only switched off when the
required traction is not obtained:
x When driving through deep snow or on loose ground (gravel...).
x When freeing a trapped vehicle.
Turn the TCS back on by pressing the button fig. 144.
WARNING (continued)
