Selective ride control
Caution
The vehicle is designed to drive
principally on-road, but it also enables
driving off-road occasionally.
However, do not drive on terrain where
the vehicle could be damaged due
to obstacles, such as stones among
others and on terrain with steep inclines
and poor grip.
Do not cross waters.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden motion
and manoeuvres can cause a collision
or losing control.
Selective ride control is designed to
optimise traction in low-grip conditions
(snow, mud and sand).
It adapts to the terrain by acting on the
front wheels. In doing so this saves the
weight normally associated with a more
conventional four wheel drive system.
Selective ride control allows to choose
between five driving modes by turning
the control:
● ESC off mode
● standard mode
● snow mode
● mud mode
● sand mode
An LED illuminates and a status
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre to confirm the chosen
mode
