Caution
Do not repeatedly brake or
accelerate heavily if TC is off. The
vehicle's driveline could be
damaged.
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
electric drive unit output is reduced
and the wheels are braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
ESC is operational as soon as the
control indicator
b
extinguishes.
When ESC is active,
b
flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.

conditions.
