I was fiddling with my ZS EV steering wheel controls and switched off ECS. I cannot now work out how to switch back on! Looked at p182 of manual but it refers to Instruments and controls which in turn refers to p.182!!
Anyway on way around the manual I did discover that if bootlid is not closed due to long load one must be aware of exhaust fumes entering the cabin.
 
Possibly from the dirty diesel car in front of you. These fumes can still be sucked into your vehicle if the tailgate is open.
And the aircon if you don't have recirc selected. I tend to have that on most of the time purely to try to keep the air cleaner in the car!

Do you mean electronic stability control? ESC?
 
.
Yes. It says off after my fiddling.

ESC OFF is the title of the setting on the screen, it doesn't mean it is actually off.

If it is set to off then there will be a yellow warning light on the dash saying ESC off.
This lamp will illuminate if the dynamic stability control/ traction control system is manually switched off.

SCS and TCS are automatically switched to standby when
the vehicle power system placed in ON/READY position.
And they can be switched off when the power system is
ready.

The Stability Control System (SCS)
SCS is designed to assist the driver in control of driving
direction. The SCS is automatically activated after the
power system is started.
When SCS detects that the vehicle is not moving in the
intended direction, it will intervene by applying brake force
to selected wheels or through the power management
system to prevent sliding and assist in bringing the car back
to the right direction.
Stability Control System (SCS) refers to Electronic Stability
Control System (ESC) in this handbook.

Manual deactivation of either the Traction

Control System (TCS) or Stability Control System
(SCS) will inhibit the operation of the Adaptive Cruise

Control (ACC)

So if ACC works SCS/ESC is on. :)
