Sport mode for electronic stability
control
The ESC
7
system is always activated — it can-
not be switched off. However, the driver can
select
ESC Sport Mode, which allows for a
more active driving experience.
With the ESC Sport Mode subfunction
selected, intervention from ESC is reduced and
the car is allowed to skid more and greater con-
trol than normal is thus transferred to the driver.
When
ESC Sport Mode is selected, ESC can be
considered as deactivated, despite the function
continuing to help the driver in many cases.
NOTE
With the ESC Sport Mode function
selected, Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
8
) is
deactivated.
ESC Sport Mode also provides maximum trac-
tion if the car has become bogged down or is
driving on a loose surface, such as in sand or
deep snow.
