a correspondingly qualified workshop immediately.
WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be reduced considerably if other components and systems which affect driving
dynamics are not serviced properly or are not functioning properly. This applies in particular to modifications made
to the suspension and the use of non-approved wheel and tyre combinations.
● Have repairs and modifications to your vehicle carried out only by a suitably qualified workshop.
● Always use suitable tyres. The driving stability depends on the tyre grip.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC
control intervention to reduce the risk of skidding and improve driving stability →
The indicator lamp flashes yellow.
.
Traction control system (TCS)
TCS
control intervention to prevent the wheels from spinning. The indicator lamp flashes yellow.
The TCS reduces the drive output if wheelspin occurs and adapts the output to suit road surface conditions. The TCS
makes it easier to pull away, accelerate and drive up hills →
.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS
prevents the wheels from locking during braking so that the vehicle can still be steered →
.
Brake assist system (BAS)
BAS
can help to reduce the stopping distance. The brake assist system reinforces the braking force when the driver
depresses the brake pedal quickly in an emergency situation.
If you reduce the pressure on the brake pedal, the brake assist system will switch off the brake servo function.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
EDL
brakes a spinning wheel automatically and distributes the drive force to the other drive wheels.
The EDL switches off automatically under unusually heavy loads to prevent the brake from overheating. The EDL
switches back on again automatically as soon as the brake has cooled down.
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
In the event of a collision, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System can help the driver to reduce the risk of
skidding, and the danger of secondary collisions, through automatic braking.
The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System functions only for collisions that are detected as a collision by the
airbag control unit.
