Different modes are available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFFSnow
This mode allows the vehicle
to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front
wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
When moving off, this
mode allows considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and
regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible.
Sand
This mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move
forward and reduces the risk
of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.
This mode is calibrated for a
low level of skidding, based
on different conditions of grip
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
This mode is only suitable
for specific conditions
encountered when moving
off or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h)
the system returns to DSC mode
automatically.
