Driving and operating155Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually.
ESC operates in combination with the Traction Control system (TC). It
prevents the driven wheels from
spinning.
The TC is a component of the ESC. Traction Control improves driving
stability when necessary, regardless
of the type of road surface or tyre grip,
by preventing the driven wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is brakedindividually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
ESC and TC are operational after
each engine start as soon as the
control indicator b extinguishes.
When ESC and TC operate, b
flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Control indicator b 3 97.
Deactivation
ESC and TC can be deactivated,
everytime it is required: press a.
The LED in the button a illuminates.
A status message appears in the
Driver Information Centre when ESC
and TC are deactivated.
ESC and TC are reactivated by
pressing the a button again, by
applying the brake or in the case that
the vehicle is driven faster than
50 km/h.
The LED in the button a extinguishes
when ESC and TC are reactivated.

156Driving and operatingESC and TC are also reactivated the
next time the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system, the control indicator b illuminates
continuously and a message appears
in the Driver Information Centre. The
system is not operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Selective ride controlCaution
The vehicle is designed to drive
principally on-road, but it also
enables driving off-road
occasionally.
However, do not drive on terrain
where the vehicle could be
damaged due to obstacles, such
as stones among others and on
terrain with steep inclines and
poor grip.
Do not cross waters.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can
cause a collision or losing control.
Selective ride control is designed to
optimise traction in low-grip
conditions (snow, mud and sand).
It adapts to the terrain by acting on the
front wheels, in doing so this saves
the weight normally associated with a more conventional four wheel drive
system.
Selective ride control allows to
choose between five driving modes:
● ESC off mode 9
● standard mode 2
● snow mode 3
● mud mode 4
● sand mode 1
The several modes can be activated
by turning the control.
A LED illuminates and a status
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre to confirm the
chosen mode.
ESC off mode 9
The ESC and Traction Control are
deactivated in this mode.
A LED in the button a illuminates.
ESC and Traction Control are
reactivated automatically from
50 km/h or everytime the ignition is
switched on.

160Driving and operatingAdopting speed by the traffic sign
assistant
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the traffic sign
assistant. The detected speed limit
can be used as new value for the
cruise control.
Using a camera at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs. The system also takes
account of information on speed limits from the navigation map data.
The function can be deactivated or
activated in the personalisation menu
3 106.
If the cruise control is active, the
recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.
The displayed information depends
on the Driver Information Centre
version.
In the Driver Information Centre,
speed limit sign is shown in the
display and MEM illuminates for a few
seconds.Press MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed.
Press MEM on the steering wheel
once more to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
This speed is the new value for the
cruise control.
Exceeding the set speed
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed is resumed.
Deactivation of the functionality Press Ñ, cruise control is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.
The vehicle is driven without cruise
control.
Cruise control is deactivated, but not
switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.Cruise control is deactivated
automatically:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The clutch pedal is depressed.
● Vehicle speed is below 40 km/h.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
operating.
● The selector lever is in N
(automatic transmission) / the
first or second gear (manual
transmission).
Resume stored speed
Press thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 40 km/h. The stored speed will be obtained.
Switching off the system
Press m, the cruise control mode is
deselected and the cruise control
indication extinguishes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates cruise control.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
