  • Drive-off assistant
  • Cruise control (calculated in the ICM) with braking function
  • ABS: Antilock braking system
  • EBV: Electronic brake force distribution
  • CBC: Cornering brake control
  • MSR: Engine drag torque control
  • ASC: Automatic Stability Control
  • DSC: Dynamic Stability Control
  • DBC: Dynamic Braking Control
  • HDC: Hill Descent Control

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
