166Driving and operatingWhen releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further 2s. 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 (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 3 107.

168Driving and operatingAt speeds below approx. 50 km/h,
press ò. The system can also be
activated when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running. The control indicator ò in the
instrument cluster is illuminated in
green to show the system is
activated.
When the vehicles starts its descent, the system controls the speed of the
vehicle; accelerator and brake pedals can be released.
● If the gearbox is in first or second
gear, the speed decreases andthe control indicator in the
instrument cluster flashes
rapidly.
● If the gearbox is in neutral or the clutch pedal is released, the
speed decreases and the control
indicator in the instrument cluster
flashes slowly.
If the system is operating, the brake
lights automatically come on.
If the speed exceeds 30 km/h,
regulation is paused. The ò
indicator light in the instrument cluster
changes to grey. However, the LEDof the ò button is still illuminated.
Regulation is automatically resumed
if the speed falls below 30 km/h, the
slope is greater than 5% and the
pedal release conditions are met.
Deactivation Press ò again until the LED in the
button extinguishes. The green
control indicator u in the instrument
cluster extinguishes, too.
Depressing the foot brake or
accelerator will also cause the system to be deactivated.
If the speed exceeds 70 km/h, the
system is automatically deactivated. The LED in the button estinguishes.
Fault
If the green control indicator ò
does not illuminate or flash after
pressing the button, there is a fault in
the system.
Seek the assistance of 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 rocks 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).

Driving and operating169It 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.
An LED in the button a illuminates.
ESC and Traction Control are
reactivated automatically from
50 km/h or everytime the ignition is
switched on.
Standard mode 2
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different
types of grip generally encountered in
normal day to day driving.
Everytime the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to
this mode.
Snow mode 3
This mode adapts to the grip
conditions encountered by each
wheel when starting.When advancing, the system
optimises wheel spin to guarantee the
best acceleration based on the
available traction. Recommended in
cases of deep snow and steep
inclines.
This mode is active up to a speed of
50 km/h.
Mud mode 4
This mode allows considerable wheel
spin at start-up for the wheel with the
least grip, this removes mud and re-
establishes traction.
Simultaneously, the wheel with the
most grip is provided with the most
torque possible.
This mode is active up to a speed of
80 km/h.
Sand mode 1
This mode allows a small amount of simultaneous wheel spin on the two drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to
advance and reduce the risk of
sinking.
This mode is active up to a speed of
120 km/h.
