Deactivating ESP
It may be best to deactivate ESP in the following
situations:
If snow chains are being used
In deep snow
On sand or gravel
On rough terrain
When you deactivate ESP:
the engine torque is no longer limited
the drive wheels could spin slightly
You will therefore achieve a cutting action
for better traction.
4-ETS remains active.
