Volvo XC90: Driver support / Electronic Stability Control in sport mode
The stability system (ESC1) is always activated and cannot be switched
off. However, the driver can select ESC Sport Mode, which offers more active
driving characteristics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function selected, intervention from the system
is reduced and more lateral movement is permitted, giving the driver more control
of the vehicle than usual.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the function may seem to be disabled
even though it continues to assist the driver.
NOTE
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the trailer stabilizer (TSA2)
is switched off.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide more traction, even if the vehicle gets
stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snow or loose sand.
