During an intervention of the system, the TCS warning light
strument cluster.
The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example.
›
When driving with snow chains.
›
When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
›
When it is necessary to "rock" a car free when it has become stuck.
The TCS can be deactivated in the Infotainment or with the symbol button
» Fig. 128 » Infotainment manual, chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button).

The warning light lights up in the instrument cluster when the TCR is deactiva-

ted.
Ensure the TCS is activated again afterwards.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 137.
EDL
If one of the wheels starts to spin, the EDL system brakes the spinning wheel and
transfers the driving force to the other wheels. This ensures the stability of the
vehicle and a quick journey.
The EDL switches itself off automatically, in order to avoid excessive heat genera-
tion in the disc brake of the wheel being braked. The vehicle can continue to be
driven and has the same characteristics as a vehicle not fitted with EDL. The EDL
switches on again automatically as soon as the brake has cooled down.
XDS
XDL is an extension to the electronic differential lock. XDL does not respond to
traction, but to the load relief of the inner front wheel of the driving axle during
fast cornering.
The automatic brake intervention on the brake of the wheel with reduced load
prevents the wheel from spinning. Thus, the traction is improved and the vehicle
can continue to follow the desired track.

Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)

The DSR indicates to the driver in critical situations a steering recommendation in
order to stabilise the vehicle. The DSR is activated, for example, on the right and
left vehicle side when braking sharply on different road surfaces.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)


HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.
The HBA is activated by the very quick operation of the brake pedal. To achieve
the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be applied firmly un-
til the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
The HBA is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is released.
The ABS is activated faster and more effectively with the intervention of the HBA.
Hill Hold Control (HHC)

HHC allows you, when driving on slopes, to move your foot from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake
pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The brake pressure drops gradually the more you operate the accelerator pedal. If
the vehicle does not start off within 2 seconds, it starts to roll back.

The HHC is active from a 5% slope if the driver's door is closed. HHC is always ac-
tive on slopes when in forward or reverse start off. When driving downhill, it is in-
active.
