Warning
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner's Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Stability control2
This function helps control the driving and braking force of each individual wheel in an attempt to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw control
This function is active at low speeds and brakes the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional power from wheels that are not spinning.
This function can also help prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC3) can help prevent inadvertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting or using engine braking when driving at low speeds on a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist*4
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA5) is designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway.
