When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the VSC operates,
it cannot operate sufficiently to avoid a
possible dangerous situation. The
driver is solely responsible for under-
standing their surroundings and driving
at a safe speed.
Traction mode is a variant of Vehi-
cle Stability Control VSC and is
optimised for forward momentum.
In special road conditions, for
example roads on which snow has
not been cleared or on a loose sur-
face, the system ensures maximum
forward momentum but with some-what limited driving stability.
Activating Traction mode provides
maximum traction. Driving stability
during acceleration and cornering is
limited.
Activating Traction mode briefly
may be useful in the following situa-
tions:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered roads.
Starting in deep snow or on a
loose surface.
Driving with snow chains.
If the indicator lamp is flash-
ing: VSC is regulating the
acceleration and braking
forces.
If the indicator lamp is illumi-
nated: VSC has failed.

ble.
Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used instead.
The system monitors the tyre infla-
tion pressure in the four fitted tyres.
The system warns if the tyre infla-
tion pressure in one or more tyres
has fallen.
Sensors in the tyre valves measure
the tyre inflation pressure and tyre
temperature.
The system detects the fitted tyres
automatically. The system shows
the preset specified pressures on
the Control Display and compares
them to the current tyre inflation
pressures.
If tyres are fitted which are not
listed on the tyre inflation pressure
labels in the vehicle, see page 278, for example tyres with special
approval, the system must be
actively reset. The current tyre
inflation pressures are then
accepted as the specified values.
To operate the system, also please
comply with the other information
and notes in the chapter Tyre infla-
tion pressure, see page 278.
The following requirements must be
met for the system, otherwise relia-
ble signalling of a loss of tyre infla-
tion pressure is not ensured:
• After each tyre or wheel change,
the system has detected the fit-
ted tyres, updated the relevant
information and, after a short
journey, shown it on the Control
Display.

NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may
damage the vehicle body and sus-
pension, and adversely affect driving
performance.

Safety note
WARNING
The display showing the specified
tyre inflation pressures does not
replace the tyre inflation pressure
information on the vehicle. If incorrect
data has been entered into the tyre
settings, the specified tyre inflation
pressures will also be incorrect. As a
result, reliable signalling of a loss of
tyre inflation pressure can no longer
be guaranteed. There is a danger of
injury and damage to property. Make
sure that the tyre sizes of the fitted
tyres are displayed correctly and that
they match the specifications on the
tyres and the tyre inflation pressure
information.
