Electronic Stability Control

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

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.
Driving and operating
ESC operates in combination with the
Traction Control system (TC) 3 176.
It also prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
ESC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When ESC operates, control indicator
b flashes.
