These functions are an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions, enabling the
vehicle behaviour to be adapted
to suit the driving conditions.
The functions do not take the
place of the driver. They do not
increase the vehicle's limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances

Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of

Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system

the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
startingtoslip,thesystembrakesau
tomaticallyuntilthedrivesuppliedbe

under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
Operating faults

fault, the message "Check ESC" and
the and warning lights
appear on the instrument panel. In this
case,theESCandtractioncontrolsys
