Switching off ESC
For a more active control of the vehicle where the
stabilizing functions of the ESC cannot intervene,
the ESC can be switched off.
~To switch off the ESC, press and hold the 8
button for more than three seconds. The
and RQ indicator lights turn on.
—To completely reactivate the ESC stabilization
function, press the button again. The indicator
lights turn off.
—When the ESC is switched off or limited,
there will be no vehicle stabilization or it
will be limited. The driving wheels could
spin and the vehicle could swerve, especially
on slick or slippery road surfaces, whic
creases the risk of an accident.
— Because of the increased risk of an accident,
only drive with the ESC switched off or limit-
ed when it is necessary. Reactivate the ESC
as soon as possible.
— If the ESC is limited, switched off, or mal-
functioning, systems with an automatic
braking intervention function may not be
fully available.
— If malfunctions occur in other systems or
certain driver assist systems are active, the
ESC must be switched on by the system. The
ESC may switch on automatically and can-
not be operated with the button.
