page 175. The interventions of the TCS, as
well as of the EDS and the ABS system adapt to
irregular terrain.
In the following exceptional situations it may
make sense to activate the Offroad mode to
allow the wheels to spin:
●
When "swinging" the vehicle to get it unstuck.
●
Driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
●
When driving on rough terrain with much of
the car's weight is lifted off the wheels (axle
articulation).
●
Steep descents with braking on unpaved ter-
rain.
For your safety we recommend that you turn
off the Offroad mode when it is not absolutely
necessary.
To disconnect the Offroad mode, select a dif-
ferent driving mode.

WARNING
The ESC Sport mode should be activated
only when traffic conditions and the ability
of the driver allow it. Danger of skidding!
●
With ESC in Sport mode, the stabilising
function will be limited to allow for a sportier
drive. The vehicle may skid.
WARNING
You should only activate the Offroad Mode
or disable the TCS if the experience of the
driver and traffic conditions allow it. Danger
of skidding!
●
With the Offroad mode activated, the sta-
bilisation function is limited. In particular, if
the road is too smooth and slippery, the driv-
ing wheels could spin and the vehicle could
skid.
Note
If the TCS is disconnected or "Sport" mode
is selected, the cruise control system will be
switched off.
