Spin Control (SC)
The SC function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cornering, by braking one ormore of the wheels if the vehicle shows a ten-dency to skid or slide laterally.
Corner Traction Control (CTC)
CTC compensates for understeering and helps provide additional stability when acceleratingthrough a curve by preventing the inside wheelfrom spinning. This is particularly useful whenaccelerating on a curving highway on-ramp. CTC is most effective if the stability system's Sport mode is selected. See the section about
Sport mode.
Engine Drag Control (EDC)
EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheels show a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the Geartronic manual shifting mode or whileusing the engine's braking function on a slipperysurface. If the engine were to stop, power steer-ing would not function, making the vehicle moredifficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway. See Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) (p. 294)for more information. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Operation
Sport mode
The stability system is always activated and can- not be switched off.
However, the driver can select Sport mode, which offers more
active driving characteristics. Sport mode can be selected in
the MY CAR menus, see My Car – introduction (p. 77).
In Sport mode, the engine management system
monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving by allowingmore lateral movement of the rear wheels beforeESC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driv- ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow orloose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use Sport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize thevehicle. To switch to Sport mode:
Sport mode remains active until the driver
switches it off in the menu or until the engine is switched off. ETC will return to normal modewhen the engine is restarted.

Cruise control (CC) – deactivating Cruise control is designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed. It is primarily intendedfor use on long straight roads in steady traffic,such as on highways and other main roads.
Automatic deactivationThe cruise control is automatically deactivated temporarily
if one of the following occurs:
• If the speed drops below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• If the gear selector is moved to position
N.
• During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
• If the vehicle's speed is increased by usingthe accelerator pedal for more than 1 minute.
• Engine speed (rpm) is too high or too low.
The currently set speed will be saved in the sys-tem's memory.
Temporary deactivationThe driver can temporarily deactivate the cruise control by pressing 0. The saved speed is shown
in brackets in the information display.
Resume set speedIf the cruise control has been deactivated tempo- rarily, it can be reactivated by pressing

vehicle's speed returns to the most recently set speed.
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed after the
button has been pressed.
Deactivation
The Cruise control is disengaged by pressing or by switching off the engine. The set speed is cleared.
WARNING
