170Driving and operatingHill start assistThe system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain
on for further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride 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 J extinguishes.
When ESC and TC operate, J
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 J 3 112.

Driving and operating171Deactivation
ESC and TC can be deactivated,
everytime it is required: press 9.
The LED in the button 9 illuminates.
A status message appears in the
Driver Information Centre when ESC
and TC are deactivated.
ESC and TC are reactivated by
pressing the 9 button again or in the
case that the vehicle is driven faster
than 30 mph.
The LED in the button 9 extinguishes
when ESC and TC are reactivated.
ESC and TC are also reactivated the
next time the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system, the control indicator J illuminates
continuously and a message appears
in the Driver Information Centre. The
system is not operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by 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.

172Driving and operatingSelective 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.
An 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 9 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 differenttypes 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.Caution
Do not use the other modes on
sand as the vehicle may become
stuck.

Driving and operating175Using a camera at the top of thewindscreen, 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 3 123.
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, the
speed limit sign is shown in the
display and MEM illuminates for a few
seconds.
Press MEM to request saving of the
suggested speed.
Press MEM 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 button to deactivate the
functionality. The 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.
● The clutch 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).
