ESC in “Offroad” mode

page 226. The interventions of the ASR,
as well as of the EDS and the ABS system
adapt to irregular terrain.
In the following exceptional situations it may
make sense to activate the Offroad mode to
allow the wheels to spin:
●
When “swinging” the vehicle to get it un-
stuck.
●
Driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
●
When driving on rough terrain with much
of the car's weight is lifted off the wheels
(axle articulation).
●
Steep descents with braking on unpaved
terrain.
For your safety we recommend that you turn
off the Offroad mode when it is not abso-
lutely necessary.
To disconnect the “Offroad” mode, select a
different driving mode.
WARNING
The ESC Sport mode should be activated
only when traffic conditions and the ability
of the driver allow it. Danger of skidding!
●
With ESC in Sport mode, the stabilising
function will be limited to allow for a sporti-
er drive. The driving wheels could spin and
the vehicle could skid.
●
If the ESC is deactivated, the vehicle sta-
bilisation function is not available.
Note
●
If the TCS is disconnected or the Sport
mode is selected, cruise control* will be
disconnected.
●
In ESC OFF mode, the ESC will be tempo-
rarily reactivated to assist the driver during
braking and will then switch back to passive
mode when the brake pedal is released (de-
pending on the model version).
Parking
