If the warning lamp
lights up, or
al-
ternatively, there could be a fault
Switching on/off the ESC and ASR
The ESC is switched on automatically when
the engine is started, and only works when
the engine is running and includes the ABS,
EDS and ASR systems.
The ASR function should only be switched off
in situations in which traction is insufficient, in-
cluding:
●
When driving in deep snow or on surfaces
that are not very firm.
●
To “free” the vehicle if it gets stuck.
Then switch the ASR function back on.
Depending on the finishes and versions, there
is the possibility of disconnecting only the
ASR or activating the ESC Sport mode.

switch off the ASR

tion control system will be disabled.

ESC in “Sport” mode

system menu. In
front-wheel drive vehicles, the interventions
by the ESC and the ASR are limited. In four-
wheel drive vehicles, the interventions by the
ESC are limited and the ASR is switched off
completely
The control lamp
lights up. For vehicles with
a driver information system* the driver will be
informed that:

tion system* the driver will be informed that:
Electronic Stability Control

ESC in “Offroad” mode
Turn the Driving Experience button to select
the Offroad mode and connect it
›››
. The interventions of the ESC, as
well as of the ASR, EDS and the ABS, 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.
