With the ESC Sport Mode subfunction selected, intervention from the system is reduced and the car is allowed to skid more and greater control than normal is thus transferred to the driver.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the function can be considered as deactivated, despite the function continuing to help the driver in many cases.
Note
With ESC Sport Mode selected, Trailer Stability Assist (TSA2) is deactivated.
ESC Sport Mode also provides maximum traction if the car has become bogged down or is driving on a loose surface, such as in sand or deep snow.
The ESC Sport Mode function cannot be selected when one of the following functions is activated:
- Speed limiter
- Cruise control
- Adaptive cruise control*
- Pilot Assist
