Electronic Stability Control
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the driving wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer), the
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESC is operational as soon as the
control indicator b extinguishes.
When ESC is active b 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 b 3 82.
Deactivation
For very high-performance driving
ESC can be deactivated: hold button
b depressed for approx. 7 seconds.
Control indicator n illuminates.
ESC is reactivated by pressing the
b button again. If the TC System was
previously disabled, both TC and
ESC are reactivated.
ESC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
When the ESC system is actively
improving the stabililty of the vehicle,
reduce speed and pay extra attention
to the road condition. The ESC
Driving and operating 171
system is only a supplementary
device for the vehicle. When the
vehicle exceeds its physical limits, it
can no longer be controlled.
Therefore do not rely on this system.
Keep driving safely.
