246Driving and operatingRide control systems
Traction Control system
The traction control system is a
component part of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) which
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels start to
spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
Traction control system is operational as soon as the ignition is switched onand control indicator b extinguishes
in the instrument cluster.
When traction control system is active 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 3 100.
Trailer stability assist 3 265.
Enhanced traction function
If necessary, in the event of soft
ground, mud or snow-covered road
surfaces, the traction control system
can be deactivated to enhance
traction:
Press Ø.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
When vehicle speed reaches
30 mph, the system switches
automatically to standard traction
control system operation. A message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Traction control system is reactivated by pressing Ø again.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Fault
If the system detects a fault, control indicator b 3 100 illuminates together
with j 3 98 in the instrument cluster
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Driving and operating247The traction control system is not
operational. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 105.
Driver Information Centre 3 104.
Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESC is operational as soon as the
ignition is switched on and control
indicator b extinguishes in the
instrument cluster.
When ESC comes into action 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 3 100.
Trailer stability assist 3 265.
Enhanced traction function
If necessary, in the event of soft
ground, mud or snow-covered road
surfaces, ESC can be deactivated to
enhance traction:
Press Ø.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
When vehicle speed reaches
30 mph, the system switches
automatically to standard ESC
operation. A message appears in the
Driver Information Centre.
ESC is reactivated by pressing Ø
again.
ESC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Engine drag torque control The engine drag torque control
system is an integral feature of ESC. When downshifting under slippery
road conditions, the engine speed
and torque increases to help prevent
locking of the drive wheels during
sudden deceleration.
Side wind assist The side wind assist is an integralfeature of ESC and maintaines the
vehicle's path. When the system
comes into action " appears in the
Driver Information Centre.
248Driving and operatingFault
If the system detects a fault, control indicator b 3 100 illuminates together
with j 3 98 in the instrument cluster
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 104.
The ESC is not operational. Have the cause of the fault remedied by aworkshop.
Vehicle messages 3 105.
Driver Information Centre 3 104.
Limited-slip rear axle
Rear-wheel drive vehicles may be
equipped with an automatic locking
rear differential which automatically
controls the torque transmitted to
each rear wheel, enhancing traction
in the event of soft ground, mud or
snow-covered road surfaces.9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
When vehicle speed reaches
20 mph, or once the rear wheels
return to surfaces with normal grip,
e.g. paved roads, the system
automatically deactivates,
sometimes accompanied by a noise
(with no consequence to vehicle
behaviour).
The system can also be deactivated
manually once normal grip conditions have resumed by briefly releasing the
accelerator.
Driver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of 20 mph and
above. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill. The stored speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
3 104.
