Brake assist
If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance when depressing the brake pedal.
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further two seconds. The
brakes release automatically as soon
as the vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system
Electronic Stability Control 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.
Electronic Stability Control operates
in combination with the Traction
Control system. It prevents the driven wheels from spinning.
The Traction Control system is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control.
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 braked
150Driving and operatingindividually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control are operational after
each engine start as soon as the
control indicator b extinguishes.
When Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control operate, b flashes.
