274 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 the
ESC system is intervening.
When the ESC has intervened
to apply the brakes, a pulsing
sound 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 support
intended to facilitate driving and make it
safer – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance 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 attempt
to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakes
the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional
power 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 or
using engine braking when driving at low speeds
on 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 the
vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more
information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE The TSA function is deactivated if
ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

With the
ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from ESC is reduced and
more lateral movement is permitted, giving the
driver 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.

Keeping Aid may not be able to properly assist
the driver. In these situations, it is recommended
that 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 reduced
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").

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 Descent
Control 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 AWD
mode 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 in
the instrument panel. The permissible speed
range 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 the
engine was switched off, the suspension will
lower 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-wheel
drive. An optimal distribution between front and
rear axle torque helps provide the best possible
control, stability and traction, e.g. on slippery
roads or when towing a heavy trailer or another
vehicle. The AWD drive mode is always available
regardless of the hybrid battery's charge status. Both the combustion engine and the electric
motor 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 power
from the combustion engine and the electric
motor by providing power to both the front and
rear wheels. Gear shifting will be faster and more
distinct and the transmission will prioritize gears
with a higher traction force. Steering response is
faster, 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 the
throttle response, gear shifting program and
turbo boost system. Chassis settings and steer-
ing and brake response are also optimized. The
Power drive mode is always available regardless
of the hybrid battery's charge status. 4
For vehicles with pneumatic suspension.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
450 Leveling control* and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the
suspension and shock absorbers automatically
to help provide good comfort and control while
driving. Leveling can also be controlled manually
to facilitate loading or getting in and out of the
vehicle.
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 at
higher speeds to reduce air resistance and
increase stability. The shock absorbers are nor-
mally set to provide the best possible comfort and are adjusted continuously according to the
road surface and the vehicle's acceleration, brak-
ing and cornering.
The instrument panel indicates
when the suspension level is
being adjusted. The level cannot be adjusted when any of the
side doors or the tailgate is open.
ParkingWhen parking, make sure that there is adequate
space above and below the vehicle since ground
clearance may vary depending on e.g. ambient
temperature, how the vehicle is loaded, if loading
mode is used, which drive mode is selected after
the engine is started, etc.
The level may also be adjusted a period after the
vehicle is parked. This is to compensate for any
height changes that may occur due to tempera-
ture changes in the air springs when the vehicle
cools.
TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train or
truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around the
tires, not using any other parts of the chassis.
Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occur
during transport, which could adversely affect the
lashing and result in damage.
