178 Driving and operating
Selective ride control allows to
choose between five driving modes
by the toggle switch:
● ESC off mode 9
● standard mode 2
● snow mode 3
● mud mode 4
● sand mode 1
A status message appears in the
Driver Information Centre to confirm
the chosen mode.
ESC off mode 9
The ESC and Traction Control are
deactivated in this mode.
ESC and Traction Control are
reactivated automatically from
50 km/h or everytime the ignition is
switched on.
Standard mode 2
This mode is calibrated for a low level
of wheel spin, based on the different
types of grip generally encountered in
normal day to day driving.
Everytime the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to
this mode.
Snow mode 3
This mode adapts to the grip
conditions encountered by each
wheel when starting.
When advancing, the system
optimises wheel spin to guarantee the
best acceleration based on the
available traction. Recommended in
cases of deep snow and steep
inclines.
This mode is active up to a speed of
50 km/h.
Mud mode 4
This mode allows considerable wheel
spin at start-up for the wheel with the
least grip, this removes mud and re-
establishes traction.
Simultaneously, the wheel with the
most grip is provided with the most
torque possible.
This mode is active up to a speed of
80 km/h.
Sand mode 1
This mode allows a small amount of
simultaneous wheel spin on the two
drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to
advance and reduce the risk of
sinking.
This mode is active up to a speed of
120 km/h.
Caution
Do not use the other modes on
sand as the vehicle may become
stuck.
