Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sport mode
ESC is always activated and cannot be switched off.
However, the driver can select Sport mode,
which offers more active driving characteristics. In Sport mode, the engine management system
monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving and allowsmore lateral movement of the rear wheels beforeESC is triggered. Under certain circumstances, such as when driv- ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow orloose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use Sport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize thevehicle.
Activating/deactivating Sport modeIn the center display's Function view, tap ESC Sport Mode.
The green indicator light in the button will illuminate to showthat the function has been acti-vated or gray when the functionis deactivated.
When Sport mode is activated, this
symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel. It will remain on until the driverdeactivates the function. ETC will also

Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) *
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) helps the driver adapt the vehicle's maximum speed to the pos-ted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL) function can be switched to Automatic Speed Limiter.
Where applicable, ASL uses speed information from the Road Sign Information * system to auto-

Is SL or ASL active?Symbols in the instrument panel indicate which function is active:
Symbol SLASL
A✓ ✓
Sign symbol B
next to "70": ASL is acti-
vated.
✓
AWHITE symbol: the function is active, GRAY symbol: the func- tion is in standby mode.
B See the section "ASL symbol" below for an explanation of thesymbol's different colors.
The ASL symbol
A road sign symbol (next to the stored speed in the center of the speedome-ter) can be displayed in three differentcolors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign
symbol's color Explanation
Green/yellow ASL is active Gray ASL is in standby mode
Amber/orange ASL is temporarily in standby mode (e.g., because a speed limit sign could not be read)
ASL limitations
•ASL utilizes the speed limit information provi- ded by the Road Sign Information
* system
(RSI), not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.
• If RSI cannot provide ASL with speed-related information, ASL will go into standby modeand switch to SL. The driver will have to reactand adapt the vehicle's speed.
• ASL will reactivate when RSI is once againable to read a speed limit sign.
