Electronic Stability Control in sport mode
The stability system (ESC1) is always activated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select ECS sport mode, which offers more active driving characteristics.
With sport mode selected, intervention from the system is reduced and more lateral movement is permitted, giving the driver more control of the vehicle than usual.
When sport mode is selected, the function may seem to be disabled even though it continues to assist the driver.
Note
With Sport mode activated, the trailer stabilizer function TSA2 is switched off.
Sport mode also helps provide more traction, even if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snow or loose sand.
