166Driving and operatingRide control systems
Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually.
ESC operates in combination with the Traction Control system (TC). It
prevents the driven wheels from
spinning.
The TC is a component of the ESC.
Traction Control improves driving
stability when necessary, regardless
of the type of road surface or tyre grip,
by preventing the driven wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is brakedindividually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
ESC and TC are operational after
each engine start as soon as the
control indicator b extinguishes.
When ESC and TC operate, 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 3 107.
Deactivation
ESC and TC can be deactivated,
everytime it is required: press a.
The LED in the button a illuminates.
A status message appears in the
Driver Information Centre when ESC
and TC are deactivated.
ESC and TC are reactivated by
pressing the a button again, by
applying the brake or in the case that
the vehicle is driven faster than
50 km/h.
The LED in the button a extinguishes
when ESC and TC are reactivated.

168Driving and operatingchanges to grey. However, the LED
of the ò button is still illuminated.
Regulation is automatically resumed
if the speed falls below 30 km/h, the
slope is greater than 5% and the
pedal release conditions are met.
Deactivation Press ò again until the LED in the
button extinguishes. The green
control indicator u in the instrument
cluster extinguishes, too.
Depressing the foot brake or
accelerator will also cause the system
to be deactivated.
If the speed exceeds 70 km/h, the system is automatically deactivated.
The LED in the button estinguishes.
Fault If the green control indicator ò
does not illuminate or flash after
pressing the button, there is a fault in
the system.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.Selective ride controlCaution
The vehicle is designed to drive
principally on-road, but it also
enables driving off-road
occasionally.
However, do not drive on terrain
where the vehicle could be
damaged due to obstacles, such
as rocks among others and on
terrain with steep inclines and
poor grip.
Do not cross waters.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can
cause a collision or losing control.
Selective ride control is designed to
optimise traction in low-grip
conditions (snow, mud and sand).
It adapts to the terrain by acting on the
front wheels, in doing so this saves
the weight normally associated with a more conventional four wheel drive
system.
Selective ride control allows to
choose between five driving modes:
● ESC off mode 9
● standard mode 2
● snow mode 3
● mud mode 4
● sand mode 1
The several modes can be activated
by turning the control.

Driving and operating169A LED illuminates and a status
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre to confirm the
chosen mode.
ESC off mode 9
The ESC and Traction Control are
deactivated in this mode.
An LED in the button a illuminates.
ESC and Traction Control are
reactivated automatically from
50 km/h or everytime the ignition is
switched on.
Standard mode 2
This mode is calibrated for a low level
of wheel spin, based on the different
types of grip generally encountered in normal day to day driving.
Everytime the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to
this mode.
Snow mode 3
This mode adapts to the grip
conditions encountered by each
wheel when starting.When advancing, the system
optimises wheel spin to guarantee the
best acceleration based on the
available traction. Recommended in
cases of deep snow and steep
inclines.
This mode is active up to a speed of 50 km/h.
Mud mode 4
This mode allows considerable wheel
spin at start-up for the wheel with the
least grip, this removes mud and re-
establishes traction.
Simultaneously, the wheel with the
most grip is provided with the most
torque possible.
This mode is active up to a speed of
80 km/h.
Sand mode 1
This mode allows a small amount of simultaneous wheel spin on the two
drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to
advance and reduce the risk of
sinking.
This mode is active up to a speed of
120 km/h.Caution
Do not use the other modes on
sand as the vehicle may become
stuck.

172Driving and operatingPress MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed.
Press MEM on the steering wheel
once more to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
This speed is the new value for the
cruise control.
Exceeding the set speed Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed
is resumed.
Deactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, cruise control is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.
The vehicle is driven without cruise
control.
Cruise control is deactivated, but not
switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.Cruise control is deactivated
automatically:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● Vehicle speed is below 40 km/h.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
operating.
● The selector lever is in N
(automatic transmission) / the
first or second gear (manual
transmission).
Resume stored speed
Press thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 40 km/h. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off the system
Press m, the cruise control mode is
deselected and the cruise control
indication extinguishes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates cruise control.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.Fault
In the event of a cruise control fault,
the speed is cleared resulting in
flashing of the dashes.
The cruise control may not operate
correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum speed.
The maximum speed can be set at
speeds above 30 km/h.
The driver can accelerate the vehicle
up to the preset speed. Deviations
from the limited speed may occur
when driving downhill.
The preset speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal firmly.
The status and preset speed limit are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.

Driving and operating179● The electric parking brake isapplied.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated or operating.
● The selector lever of automatic transmissions is neither in D nor
in M.
● A fault is detected in the Electronic Stability Control.
Switching off the system
Press C, the adaptive cruise control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise
control.
Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention ● Use the adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.
System limits9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● The adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● The adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● The adaptive cruise control considers stopped vehicles only
at low speed.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or
consider a vehicle which is not in the
actual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no
