Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC 2
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel when theESC system is intervening. When the ESC has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsingsound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following sub- functions: • Stability control 3
• Spin control and active yaw control
• Engine drag control
• Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
•The Electronic Stability Control system ESC is supplementary driver supportintended to facilitate driving and make itsafer – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning. This function also helps prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface. Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist *5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
6
) is designed to help
stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if thevehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For moreinformation, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE
The TSA function is deactivated if ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

Electronic Stability Control Sportmode
The ESC 7
system is always activated and can-
not be switched off. However, the driver can select
ESC Sport Mode, which offers more
active driving characteristics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from ESC is reduced and more lateral movement is permitted, giving thedriver more control of the vehicle than usual. When
ESC Sport Mode is selected, ESC may
seem to be disabled even though it is often assisting the driver.
NOTE
When the ESC Sport Mode function is
selected, the trailer stabilizer (TSA 8
) is
switched off.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide maximum
traction if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snow or loose sand.

Lane Keeping Aid limitations
In certain demanding driving conditions, Lane Keeping Aid may not be able to properly assistthe driver. In these situations, it is recommendedthat the function be deactivated.
Examples of such situations include:
• road work
• winter driving conditions
• poor road surfaces
• a very sporty driving style
• bad weather with reduced visibility
• roads with indistinct or no lane markings
• sharp edges or lines other than the lane's side markings
• when the power steering works at reducedpower - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-ing (see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".

OFF ROAD
•Maximizes the vehicle's ability to traverse dif- ficult terrain or poor roads.
In this mode, ground clearance 4
is high, steering
is light, and all-wheel drive and Hill DescentControl are activated. This drive mode is only available at low speeds, up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is excee-ded, Off road mode will be cancelled and AWDmode will be activated instead. All-wheel drive requires both the combustion and electric motor to be in continuous operation,which results in higher fuel consumption. In Off road mode, a compass will be displayed between the speedometer and the tachometer inthe instrument panel. The permissible speedrange will be shown in the speedometer. This drive mode is optimized for maximum control when driving at low speeds on very poor roads or difficult terrain. It raises the chassis 4
, reduces
driveline throttle response, and locks the vehicle in all-wheel drive. The Hill Descent Control func-tion facilitates controlled driving on steep down-grades.NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used for normal street driving.
NOTE
Due to the increased ground clearance, if the OFF ROAD mode was selected when theengine was switched off, the suspension willlower when the engine is restarted.
CAUTION
Do not use the OFF ROAD drive mode when towing a trailer without an electrical connec-tion. This could result in damage to the pneu-matic suspension system's bellows.
AWD
• Improves the vehicle's traction and handling by increasing all-wheel drive.
This drive mode locks the vehicle in all-wheeldrive. An optimal distribution between front andrear axle torque helps provide the best possiblecontrol, stability and traction, e.g. on slipperyroads or when towing a heavy trailer or anothervehicle. The AWD drive mode is always availableregardless of the hybrid battery's charge status. Both the combustion engine and the electricmotor are engaged to enable all-wheel drive,which results in higher fuel consumption. In the other drive modes, the vehicle automati- cally adapts the need for all-wheel drive accord-ing to the road surface, and can activate the elec-tric motor or start the combustion engine as nee-ded.
POWER
•
Power mode is designed to provide sportier driving characteristics and a faster accelera-tion response.
This drive mode maximizes the combined powerfrom the combustion engine and the electricmotor by providing power to both the front andrear wheels. Gear shifting will be faster and moredistinct and the transmission will prioritize gearswith a higher traction force. Steering response isfaster, suspension is stiffer and ground clearance is lower 4
to help reduce body roll when cornering.
Both the combustion engine and the electric motor are engaged to enable all-wheel drive,which results in higher fuel consumption. This drive mode is optimized for maximum per- formance and throttle response. It changes thethrottle response, gear shifting program andturbo boost system. Chassis settings and steer-ing and brake response are also optimized. ThePower drive mode is always available regardlessof the hybrid battery's charge status.

Leveling control * and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the suspension and shock absorbers automaticallyto help provide good comfort and control whiledriving. Leveling can also be controlled manuallyto facilitate loading or getting in and out of thevehicle.
Pneumatic suspension and shock absorbers
The system is adapted to the selected drive mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic suspen-sion reduces the vehicle's ground clearance athigher speeds to reduce air resistance andincrease stability. The shock absorbers are nor-mally set to provide the best possible comfort and are adjusted continuously according to theroad surface and the vehicle's acceleration, brak-ing and cornering.
The instrument panel indicateswhen the suspension level isbeing adjusted.The level cannot be adjusted when any of the side doors or the tailgate is open.
ParkingWhen parking, make sure that there is adequatespace above and below the vehicle since ground clearance may vary depending on e.g. ambienttemperature, how the vehicle is loaded, if loadingmode is used, which drive mode is selected afterthe engine is started, etc. The level may also be adjusted a period after the vehicle is parked. This is to compensate for anyheight changes that may occur due to tempera-ture changes in the air springs when the vehiclecools.
TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train ortruck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around thetires, not using any other parts of the chassis.Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occurduring transport, which could adversely affect thelashing and result in damage.
