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 center display. When it is turned off, it is still active to a certain extent for safety reasons. However, turning the function off limits interactions from ESC. This can give you a more active driving experience, as more control is transferred to the driver. ESC will still step in and help the driver in many scenarios.

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

When ESC is deactivated, the stability system off symbol is shown on the instrument panel.

The function resets when the vehicle is powered down.

 Note

Disabling ESC will automatically set the power delivery of your vehicle to prioritize 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.
