PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Electronic stability programme
(ESP)
WARNING
ESP does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
without ESP
A
with ESP
B
The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends. Stability control (ESP) warning lamp
The ESP warning lamp will flash when the
system is operating. See
Warning
lamps and indicators (page 64).
Emergency brake assist WARNING
Emergency brake assist does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.
Emergency brake assist will detect when
you brake heavily by measuring the rate
at which you press the brake pedal. It will
provide maximum braking efficiency as
long as you press the pedal. Emergency
brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.
Trailer stability control
WARNINGS
Trailer stability control does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
tow with due care and attention.
Disabling ESP will turn off the
system.
Trailer stability control is an enhanced
feature of ESP, and automatically detects
when an attached trailer starts to sway.
If this situation occurs, the system will
automatically brake individual wheels to
stabilise the trailer and vehicle. In case a
very severe sway is detected, the engine
torque will be reduced and the vehicle will
be slowed automatically.
USING STABILITY CONTROL
Note:The system will be switched on
automatically every time you switch the ignition on.

If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
camera briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Do not apply pressure to the camera.
The position and the angle of the
camera automatically changes.
Note:Keep the camera free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects, degreaser, wax or organicproducts. Use only a soft cloth.
During operation, guide lines appear in
the display which represent your vehicle's
path and approximate distance from
rearward objects.
USING THE REAR VIEW
CAMERA WARNINGS
The operation of the camera may
vary depending on the ambient
temperature, vehicle and road
conditions. The distances shown in the display
may differ from the actual distance.
Do not place objects in front of the
camera. The camera is located on the luggage
compartment lid near the handle.
Activating the rear view camera
CAUTION
The camera may not detect objects
that are close to the vehicle.
With the ignition and the audio unit
switched on, engage reverse gear. The
image is displayed on the screen.
The camera may not operate correctly in
the following conditions:
•
Dark areas.
• Intense light.
• If the ambient temperature increases
or decreases rapidly.
• If the camera is wet, for example in
rain or high humidity.
• If the camera's view is obstructed, for
example by mud.
Using the display CAUTIONS
Obstacles above the camera position
will not be shown. Inspect the area
behind your vehicle if necessary.

front of the driver's door.
Resetting the switch
WARNING
Do not reset the fuel cut-off switch
if you see or smell leaking fuel.
•
Turn the ignition switch to position
0.
• Check fuel system for leaks.
• If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in the button (see
illustration). •
Turn the ignition switch to position
II.
After a few seconds return the key to
position I.
• Make a further check for leaks in the
fuel system.
