Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driversupport systems that can provide the driver withactive or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
maintain a set speed
maintain a set time interval to the vehicleahead
help prevent a collision by warning the driverand applying the brakes
park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and others areoptions. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheelresistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases thesteering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. Whenparking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
NOTE
In rare situations, the power steer-ing may become too hot andrequire temporary cooling – duringsuch time the power steering willwork at reduced output and the steeringwheel may feel more difficult to move.
When steering assistance is temporarilyreduced, the message Power steeringAssistance temporarily reduced and thissymbol will appear on the driver display.
While the power steering is working atreduced power, the driver support functionsand systems with steering assistance are notavailable.

Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC1) functionhelps the driver avoid skidding and improves thevehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed inthe instrument panel when thesystem is intervening.
When the system has inter-vened to apply the brakes, apulsing sound may be heardand the vehicle may accelerate more slowly thanexpected when the accelerator pedal isdepressed.
The system consists of the following sub-func-tions:
Stability control2
Spin control and active yaw control
Engine drag control
Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion.
Driver support functions are not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.
Stability control 2
This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
1Electronic Stability Control2Also called traction control.

Spin control and active yaw control
This function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning.
This function also helps prevent the wheels fromspinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC3) helps prevent inad-vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impairthe driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist * 4
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA5) is designed to helpstabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if thevehicle and trailer have begun to sway.
NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if ESCSport Mode is activated.

Electronic Stability Control in sportmode
The stability system (ESC6) is always activatedand cannot be switched off. However, the drivercan select ESC Sport Mode, which offers moreactive driving characteristics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-functionselected, intervention from the system is reducedand more lateral movement is permitted, givingthe driver more control of the vehicle than usual.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-tion may seem to be disabled even though it con-tinues to assist the driver.
NOTE
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the
trailer stabilizer (TSA7) is switched off.

Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applyingthe brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes bedesirable to roll a bit faster and let speed bereduced instead by engine braking alone. Thedriver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-trol braking function.
