Electronic Stability Control Sport mode
The ESC1 system is always activated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select ESC Sport Mode, which offers more active driving characteristics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function selected, intervention from ESC is reduced and more lateral movement is permitted, giving the driver more control of the vehicle than usual.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, ESC may seem to be disabled even though it is often assisting the driver.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide maximum traction if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snow or loose sand.
