system is not operational.
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 30
mph.

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.
● sand mode
An LED illuminates and a status
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre to confirm the chosen
mode
Mud mode
This mode allows considerable wheel
spin at start-up for the wheel with
the least grip, this removes mud and
reestablishes 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.
ESC off mode
The ESC and Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR)
are deactivated in this mode.
ESC and Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR) are
reactivated automatically from 30 mph or
if the ignition is switched on.
Do not cross waters.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden motion
and manoeuvres can cause a collision
or losing control.
Sand mode
Standard 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 calibrated for a low level of
wheel spin, based on the different types
of grip generally encountered in normal
day to day driving.
Selective ride control is designed to
optimise traction in low-grip conditions
(snow, mud and sand).
