in the cluster extinguishes when
ESC and traction control system are
reactivated. ESC and traction control
system are also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system,
the control indicator
illuminates
continuously and a message appears
on the cluster. The system is not
operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by
a workshop.
Selective ride 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 on the cluster to
confirm the chosen mode.
ESC off mode
The ESC and traction control are
deactivated in this mode.
ESC and traction control are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph or if the
ignition is switched on.
Standard mode
This mode is calibrated for a low level of
wheel spin, based on the different types
of grip generally encountered in normal
day to day driving.
Every time the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to this
mode.
Snow mode
This mode adapts to the grip conditions
encountered by each wheel when
starting.
When advancing, the system optimises
wheel spin to guarantee the best
acceleration based on the available
traction. Recommended in cases of deep
snow and steep inclines.
This mode is active up to a speed of 31
mph.
Mud mode
This mode allows considerable wheel
spin at start-up for the wheel with the
least grip, this removes mud and re-
establishes traction.
Simultaneously, the wheel with the most
grip is provided with the most torque
possible.
This mode is active up to a speed of 50
mph.
Sand mode
This mode allows a small amount of
simultaneous wheel spin on the two drive
wheels, enabling the vehicle to advance
and reduce the risk of sinking.
This mode is active up to a speed of 75
mph.
CAUTION
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
