Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reducewheel spin, counteract skidding and to generallyhelp improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi-ble when the system is activelyoperating and is normal. Accel-eration may also be slightlyslower than normal.

WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot dealwith all situations or road conditions.
The driver is always responsible for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions:
•Traction control
•Spin control
•Active Yaw Control
•Engine Drag Control
•Trailer Stability Assist

Traction control
This function is designed to help reduce wheelspin by transferring power from a drive wheel that
begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin control
This function is designed to help prevent thedrive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.

Active Yaw Control
At low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-tional stability by braking one or more of thewheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid orslide laterally.

Engine Drag Control EDC
EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheelsshow a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the manual shifting mode or while using theengine's braking function on a slippery surface. Ifthe wheels were to lock, the vehicle wouldbecome more difficult to steer.

Trailer Stability Assist * 1
TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing atrailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway.
This system is automatically deactivated if thedriver selects Sport mode.

Changing Cruise Control speed
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols (generic illustration)
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)or — (3) buttons briefly or by pressing andholding them:
•Press briefly: changes speed in+/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h) increments.Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h).
•Press and hold: changes the speed+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) at a time.Release the button when the set speedindicator (4)/(6) has moved to the desiredspeed.
If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator
pedal before the button is pressed, the vehi-cle's speed when the button is pressed will
become the set speed assuming that the accel-erator pedal is still depressed when the button ispressed.
A temporary increase in speed, such as whenpassing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released. Alwaysobserve posted speed limits.

Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakeslightly. To avoid a loss of speed when drivingdown hills, use the engine braking functioninstead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In thissituation, the driver can temporarily deactivate theCC braking function.
To do so:
–Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfwaydown and release it.
>CC will automatically deactivate the auto-matic brake function and will then onlyuse the engine braking function.
