Driving
The ESC is switched on automatically when

the engine is running and includes the ABS,
EDS and ASR systems.
The ASR and ESC function should only be

that are not very firm.

Then switch the ASR and ESC function back
on.
Depending on finishes and versions, it is
possible either to disconnect only the ASR or
else activate ESC Sport mode.
