Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Read and observe on page 142 first.
The ESC improves vehicle stability in dynamic driving situations, such as when
the vehicle starts to skid.
The ESC monitors whether the desired direction of the current vehicle motion
is occurring. In case of any deviation (e.g. over steer), the ESC automatically
brakes individual wheels to maintain the desired direction.
During an intervention of the system, the indicator light

Antilock Braking System (ABS)

Read and observe on page 142 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Read and observe on page 142 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces the
drive power transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thus, for
example, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
If your vehicle is fitted with the ESC system, the ASR is integrated into the ESC
system » page 143.

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 ASR can be deactivated via the 

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)

Read and observe on page 142 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
