Hydraulic brake assist
When the ESC function comes into
action and recognises any
emergency situation requiring hard
braking, it automatically delivers
increased braking pressure to the
wheels.
Active rollover protection If the vehicle moves in an unstable
manner, this function helps the
vehicle maintain normal stability.
Trailer stability assist
If the system detects snaking
movements, engine power is reduced
and the vehicle/trailer combination is
selectively braked until the snaking
ceases. While system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible.Descent control system
The Descent control system (DCS)
allows the vehicle to travel at a low
speed without depressing the foot
brake. The vehicle will automatically
decelerate to a low speed and remain
at that speed when the system is
activated. Some noise or vibration
from the brake system may be
apparent when the system is active.Caution
Use only when descending steep
grades while driving off-road. Do
not use when driving on normal
road surfaces. Unnecessary
usage of the DCS function, such
as while driving on normal roads,
may damage the brake system
and the ESC function.

Driving and operating143Parking assist
The parking assist system makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and obstacles to the front and rear, and
giving acoustic signals. It is the driver,
however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in both the front and
rear bumpers.
Control indicator r 3 87.
Activation
With the ignition on, the system must
be activated manually.
Press button r on the instrument
panel. The LED in the button will
illuminate and will activate when a
forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
An obstacle is indicated by an
acoustic signal. The interval between
the sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm, the signal is continuous. The
acoustic signal may differ depending
on the type of object detected.
Deactivation
To deactivate, press the button again
and the LED in the button will
extinguish. The control indicator r
in the instrument cluster will illuminate
until the vehicle speed exceeds
18 mph.
The system is deactivated
automatically when the vehicle speed is above 5 mph or when selector leveris in neutral (automatic transmission
in N or P).
If the b button is pressed again, the
LED in the button will extinguish and the system will be reactivated as soon
as a forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
