Manual Description
The ESC system is always activated - it cannot be deactivated. However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding with the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.
If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal, for example, then the ESC system intervenes and stabilises the car. With Sport mode, maximum traction is also obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep snow. Proceed as follows to select Sport mode: Sport mode is selected in the menu system MY CAR.
For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 113).
