Driving and operating163When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain
on for further 2s. The brakes release
automatically as soon as the vehicle
begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Controland 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 3 104.

Driving and operating165At speeds below approx. 30 mph,
press ò. The system can also be
activated when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running.
The control indicator ò in the
instrument cluster is illuminated in
green to show the system is
activated.
When the vehicles starts its descent,
the system controls the speed of the vehicle; accelerator and brake pedals
can be released.
● If the gearbox is in first or second
gear, the speed decreases and the control indicator in the
instrument cluster flashes
rapidly.
● If the gearbox is in neutral or the clutch pedal is released, the
speed decreases and the control indicator in the instrument cluster
flashes slowly.
If the system is operating, the brake
lights automatically come on.
If the speed exceeds 18 mph,
regulation is paused. The ò
indicator light in the instrument cluster changes to grey. However, the LEDof the ò button is still illuminated.
Regulation is automatically resumed
if the speed falls below 18 mph, 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 43 mph, 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).

166Driving and operatingIt 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.
A 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
30 mph 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
30 mph.
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 50 mph.
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
75 mph.

Driving and operating169Adopting speed by the speed limitrecognition
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the speed limit
recognition. The detected speed limit
can be used as new value for the
cruise control.
Using a camera at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs. The system also takes
account of information on speed limits
from the navigation map data.
The function can be deactivated or
activated in the personalisation menu 3 115.
If the cruise control is active, the
recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.
The displayed information depends
on the Driver Information Centre
version.
In the Driver Information Centre,
speed limit sign is shown in the
display and MEM illuminates for a few
seconds.Press 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 25 mph.
● 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 25 mph. 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.

176Driving and operatingDeactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, the adaptive cruise control
is in pause mode and a message is
displayed. The vehicle is driven
without adaptive cruise control.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, but not disabled. The
last stored set speed remains in
memory for later usage.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically when:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The vehicle accelerates above 112 mph or slows down below
19 mph.
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● 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 mountainroads, 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.
