Cockpit
Electronic Stability Control ESC (ESP) * οΆ / ο«
There are two control lamps for the electronic stability con-
trol. The οΆ lamp provides information concerning the func-
tion and the ο« provides information on the disconnection
status
Both lamps come on together when the ignition is switched on and should
go out after approx. 2 seconds, which is how long the function check lasts.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and ASR (TCS). This also includes
the brake assist system (BAS), automatic cleaning of the brake discs and
the trailer stability programme (TSP).
The warning lamp οΆ has the following functions: β It flashes when the ASR (TCS)/ESC (ESP) is activated when driving.
β It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESC (ESP).
β The ESC (ESP) lamp will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS
because the ESC (ESP) operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the ESP warning lamp οΆ lights up and stays on after the engine is started,
this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESP.
In this case the ESC (ESP) can be reactivated by switching the ignition off
and then on again. If the warning lamp goes out, this means the system is
fully functional.
The ο« lamp provides information about the disconnection status of the
system:
β It stays lit when the ASR (TCS) is disconnected after pressing the ο«
switch. οDifferential lock fault (EDL)*EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with
the Electronic Stability Control ESC (ESP)*
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning lamp οͺ. Take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as possible. For further informa-
tion on the EDL see ββpage 185, Electronic differential lock (EDL)*. ο
Traction control system ASR (TCS)* οΆ / ο«
The traction control system prevents the driven wheels from
spinning when the vehicle is accelerating
There are two warning lamps for the traction control system: οΆ and ο«. Both
lamps come on together when the ignition is switched on and should go out
after approx. 2 seconds, which is how long the function check lasts.
The οΆ lamp has the following function:
β It flashes when the ASR (TCS) is activated while driving.
If the system is deactivated or if it has any fault, the warning lamp will re-
main lit. The ASR (TCS) lamp will also come on if a fault should occur in the
ABS because the ASR (TCS) operates in conjunction with the ABS. For fur-
ther information, see ββ page 182, Brakes
The ο« lamp provides information about the disconnection status of the
system:
β It stays lit when the ASR (TCS) is disconnected after pressing the OFF
switch.
By pressing again, the ASR (TCS) function is reactivated and the warning
lamp switched off. ο

β If the ignition is switched on, the electric equipment could be acti-
vated with risk of injury, for example, in the electric windows.
β The doors can be locked using the remote control key. This could
make the aid difficult in an emergency situation.

cle from the outside when it is running (for example, when
stopped at a traffic light).
Locking

ceeds 15 km/h.
If the vehicle is stopped and one of the doors is opened, when the vehicle
moves off again and exceeds a speed of 15 km/h, the unlocked door(s) will
be locked once more.

example, when a passenger gets out of it). To do it, simply operate the lever
inside the door.
WARNING

door would open.
ο

It is an anti-theft system and prevents the unintentional un-
locking of the vehicle. If the vehicle is unlocked and any of the doors (including the tailgate) are
opened within 30 seconds, it gets re-locked automatically. This function prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlock button is press-
ed by mistake.
ο
