Electronic Stability
Control (ESC)
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

Vehicles with spare wheel
The jack and the vehicle tools are in
the load compartment.
SeeTyre Changing 0184.
See Compact Spare Tyre 0186.
Wheels and Tyres
Tyre condition, wheel
condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over
sharp edges can cause tyre and
wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on
the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
We recommend not swapping the
front wheels with the rear wheels
and vice versa, as this can affect
vehicle stability. Always use less
worn tyres on the rear axle.
Winter Tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety
at temperatures below 7 °C and
should therefore be fitted on all
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker
in the driver's field of view.
