Brake assist systems
Connecting and disconnecting the
ESC and TCS
Fig.126 On the lower part of the centre
console: ESC on/o button
The ESC is switched on automatically when the
engine is started, and only works when the en-
gine is running and includes the ABS, EDS and
TCS systems.
The TCS function should only be switched o
in situations in which traction is insuicient.
Depending on the nishes and versions, there
is the possibility of disconnecting only the TCS
or activating the ESC in “Sport” mode.
Disconnecting and connecting the TCS
●
The TCS can be switched on and o by
briey pressing the
button on the centre
console ›››Fig.126.
●
OR:
in the infotainment system, press the
function button > Assistants > Smart Assis-
tants ›››page39.
When the TCS is o, the control lamp lights
up on the instrument cluster.
Disconnecting and connecting the ESC in
“Sport” mode
●
In Sport mode, the ESC can be switched o
and on by briey pressing the button on the
centre console ›››Fig.126.
●
OR: in the infotainment system, press the
function button > Assistants > Smart Assis-
tants ›››page39.
When “Sport” mode is connected, the inter-
ventions of the ESC to stabilise the vehicle,
and the traction control (TCS) interventions
are limited. In vehicles with 4-wheel drive, the
TCS is disconnected completely . In addition,
the control lamp lights up on the instrument
cluster.

ESC in
“Oroad” mode
Select the Oroad prole to switch it on
›››page186. The interventions of the TCS,
as well as of the EDS and the ABS system adapt
to irregular terrain.
In the following exceptional situations it may
make sense to activate the Oroad mode to
allow the wheels to spin:
●
When swinging the vehicle to get it out of
mud/snow.
●
Driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
●
When driving on uneven ground with one or
two wheels in the air (axle articulation).
●
Steep descents while braking on unpaved
terrain.
For your safety we recommend that you turn
o the Oroad mode when it is not absolutely
necessary.
To disconnect the Oroad mode, select a dif-
ferent driving mode.
