Driving
With the help of this system, the ABS is activa-
t ed mor
e quickly and mor
e efficiently.
The brake assist function is deactivated auto-
matically when the brake pedal is released.
Hill hold control (HHC)*
The HHC system makes it easier to start the
vehicle on hills. The system maintains the
brake pressure created by pressing down on
the brake pedal for 2 seconds after it has
been released. Your foot can be removed
from the brake pedal and you can use the
accelerator pedal and move away on a hill
without having to use the handbrake. The
brake pressure drops as the accelerator ped-
al is pressed. If the vehicle cannot be started,
it will start to move backwards after 2 sec-
onds.
The HHC is activated on gradients of over 5%,
if the driver door is closed. It only works for
starting on hills, moving both forward and in
reverse. It is not activated during start-up
down hill.
Control lamp
If the control lamp ! flashes, the ESC is working.
If the ! warning lamp illuminates on ignition,
the ESC system may have switched off due to
technical reasons. Turn off the ignition and
turn it on again. Upon switching on the igni-
tion again, if the warning lamp has switched off, this means the ESC is functioning correct-
ly again.
If the !
warning lamp is illuminat
ed there is a
fault in the ESC.
The informative display indicates:
Fault: electronic stability con-
trol (ESC)
or Fault: traction control system
(ASR)
Go to a technical service. Note
If the battery is disconnected and connec-
ted again, the yell o

w warning lamp !
lights up when the ignition is switched on.
This warning lamp must switch off after
covering a short distance. Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS system prevents the wheels locking
during br
aking. This helps the driv

The driver is made aware of ABS assistance
by the pulsating of the brake pedal and a
characteristic noise.
Keep the brake pedal pressed down while the
ABS is working. The ABS will switch off when the brake pedal is released. Never brake in-
termittently whil

Electronic differential lock If one of the wheels starts to skid, the EDL
br
ak
es that wheel, tr

ansmitting the driving
force to the other wheels. This increases vehi-
cle stability and improves driving stability.
To prevent the disc brake of the braking
wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts out au-
tomatically if subjected to excessive loads.
The vehicle will continue to function normally
without EDL. The EDL will switch on again au-
tomatically when the brake has cooled down. Manual gearbox

er is accidentally moved to position N, re-
lease the accelerator and wait for the engine
to idle before moving it back into position. WARNING
