Driving and operating155Selective ride controlCaution
The vehicle is designed to drive
principally on tarmac roads, but it also enables driving off-road
occasionally.
However, do not drive on terrain
where your vehicle could be
damaged due to obstacles, such
as stones among others and on
terrain with steep inclines and
poor grip.
Do not cross streams.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can make you lose of the steering. This could
cause a collision. Therefore, when driving on-road and off-road, you
and your passengers should wear
seat belts.
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
● Standard mode
● Snow mode ● Mud mode
● Sand mode
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
The Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control are deactivated in
this mode.
A LED in the button a illuminates.
Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control are reactivated
automatically from 30 mph or
everytime the ignition is switched on.
