Disabling electronic stability control

You can disable the electronic stability control for a more active driving experience.

Electronic stability control1 can be turned on or off in the centre display. When it is turned off, it is still active to a certain extent for safety reasons. However, turning the function off limits the interactions by ESC. This can give you a more active driving experience as more control is transferred to the driver. ESC will still interfere and help the driver in many scenarios.

Turning ESC off can also be useful if the car is stuck in mud or deep snow.

When ESC is deactivated, the stability system off symbol is shown in the driver display.

The function resets when the car is powered down.

 Note

Disabling ESC will automatically set the power delivery of your car to prioritise performance rather than range. Once ESC is activated again, the power delivery will return to its previous setting. You can read more about this in the manual section about changing performance type.
