Brake assist systems
WARNING
You should only activate the Oroad Mode
or disable the TCS if the experience of the
driver and traic conditions allow it. Danger
of skidding!
●
With the Oroad mode activated, the trac-
tion control is limited. The drive wheels can
slip and the vehicle may skid, especially if the
road surface is smooth and slippery.
Note
●
If the TCS or ESC is switched o or “Sport”
mode is selected, the cruise control system
switches o.
●
In ESC OFF mode, ESC will temporarily re-
activate to assist the driver during braking,
and will switch back to passive mode when
the brake pedal is released (depending on
the model version).
Troubleshooting
The electromechanical brake servo is
not working
Stop driving
The warning lamp lights up red.
A message is displayed as appropriate. Depress
the brake pedal hard because the braking dis-
tance will increase due to the lack of brake as-
sist from the brake servo.
●
You should obtain professional assistance
immediately.
There is a fault in the electromechanical
brake servo
The control lamp switches on yellow.
A message is displayed for a few seconds.
Depressing the brake pedal may cause vibra-
tions. The brake pedal has to be pressed
harder because the braking distance increases
due to the reduced brake servo assistance.
●
Contact a specialised workshop.
The ABS does not work properly or does
not work at all
The control lamp switches on yellow.
●
Contact a specialised workshop. The vehi-
cle’s brakes still work without the ABS.
The ESC or TCS is regulating
The control lamp ashes yellow.
ESC fault
The control lamp switches on yellow. The ESC
has been switched o.
There is a fault or defect.
●
Turn
o the ignition and turn it on again.
●
If possible, drive for a short distance at 15-20
km/h (9-12 mph).
●
If the control lamp is still on, go to a speci-
alised workshop.
The brake assist systems make noises
When the described brake assist systems inter-
vene, you may hear noises.
WARNING
●
When the ignition is switched on, the sta-
tus of the brake system and the brake as-
sist functions are automatically checked. The
control lamps on the instrument cluster light
up briey and then go out. Any indicator
lamp that remains on indicates a fault. Seek
qualied technical assistance immediately.
●
If the brake system warning light comes
on together with the control lamp, the ABS
regulation function may not work and the
rear wheels may lock relatively quickly when
braking. This can lead to loss of control of
the vehicle! If possible, slow down and drive
slowly and carefully to the nearest specialist
workshop to have the brake system inspec-
ted. During this journey, avoid heavy braking
and any sudden manoeuvres.
●
If the indicator lamp does not go out,
or comes on while driving, it means that the
ABS function cannot work properly, is not
