operational. Driving should be
adjusted accordingly.
Resetting
If b comes on and stays on, reset the
system as follows:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Switch the ignition off and wait for
15 seconds.
3. Switch the ignition on.
If b still comes on and stays on, seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Caution
Do not repeatedly brake or
accelerate heavily when TC is off.
The vehicle's driveline could be
damaged.

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 drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
electric drive unit 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.
