274 Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC 2
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the
vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in
the instrument panel when the
ESC system is intervening.
When the ESC has intervened
to apply the brakes, a pulsing
sound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-
ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed. The ESC system consists of the following sub-
functions:
•
Stability control 3
• Spin control and active yaw control
• Engine drag control
• Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING •
The Electronic Stability Control system
ESC is supplementary driver support
intended to facilitate driving and make it
safer – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-
ing force of each individual wheel in an attempt
to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakes
the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional
power from wheels that are not spinning.
This function also helps prevent the wheels from
spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting or
using engine braking when driving at low speeds
on a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair
the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist* 5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
6
) is designed to help
stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if the
vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more
information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE The TSA function is deactivated if
ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

mode
The ESC 7
system is always activated and can-
not be switched off. However, the driver can
select ESC Sport Mode, which offers more
active driving characteristics.
With the
ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from ESC is reduced and
more lateral movement is permitted, giving the
driver more control of the vehicle than usual.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, ESC may
seem to be disabled even though it is often
assisting the driver.
NOTE When the
ESC Sport Mode function is
selected, the trailer stabilizer (TSA 8
) is
switched off. ESC Sport Mode also helps provide maximum
traction if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a
loose surface such as deep snow or loose sand.

the driver. In these situations, it is recommended
that the function be deactivated. Examples of such situations include:
• road work
• winter driving conditions
• poor road surfaces
• a very sporty driving style
• bad weather with reduced visibility
• roads with indistinct or no lane markings
• sharp edges or lines other than the lane's
side markings
• when the power steering works at reduced
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
NOTE The function uses the vehicle's camera unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Camera unit limitations".
