ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
CAUTION
A vehicle fitted with AWD must be
recovered with either
ALLwheels
on the ground or ALLwheels off the
ground. See Vehicle recovery (page
140). The AWD system, fitted to certain
front-wheel drive variants, will
automatically provide driving torque to the
rear wheels when road conditions
become slippery with rain, snow or ice
etc.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Electronic stability programme
(ESP)
WARNING
ESP does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
without ESP
A
with ESP
B
The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends. Stability control (ESP) warning lamp
The ESP warning lamp will flash when the
system is operating. See
Warning
lamps and indicators (page 64).
Emergency brake assist WARNING
Emergency brake assist does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.
Emergency brake assist will detect when
you brake heavily by measuring the rate
at which you press the brake pedal. It will
provide maximum braking efficiency as
long as you press the pedal. Emergency
brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.
Trailer stability control
WARNINGS
Trailer stability control does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
tow with due care and attention.
Disabling ESP will turn off the
system.
Trailer stability control is an enhanced
feature of ESP, and automatically detects
when an attached trailer starts to sway.
If this situation occurs, the system will
automatically brake individual wheels to
stabilise the trailer and vehicle. In case a
very severe sway is detected, the engine
torque will be reduced and the vehicle will
be slowed automatically.
USING STABILITY CONTROL
Note:The system will be switched on
automatically every time you switch the ignition on.
