Calibration
G029737
Calibrating the compass.The compass may need to be calibrated if, for
example, the vehicle is driven into a new mag-
netic zone. The character
C is shown in the
mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely
out of traffic and away from steel structures
and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
For best results from calibration, switch off
all electrical equipment in the vehicle (cli-
mate system, windshield wipers, audio sys-
tem, etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and
hold the button on the rear side of mirror
until
C is shown again in the mirror(after
approx. 6 seconds).
4.
Drive as usual.
C disappears from the dis-
play when calibration is complete.
Alternative calibration method:
Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until
C disap-
pears from the display when calibration is
complete.

04 Comfort and driving pleasureStability system
04154
IntroductionThe Dynamic Stability and Traction Control
system (DSTC) consists of a number of func-
tions designed help reduce wheel spin, coun-
teract skidding, and to generally help improve
directional stability.
CAUTION
A pulsating sound will be audible when the
system is actively operating and is normal.Traction control (TC)This function is designed to help reduce wheel
spin by transferring power from a drive wheel
that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the
opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
TC is most active at low speeds.
This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and
cannot be switched off.Active Yaw Control (AYC)This function helps maintain directional stabil-
ity, for example when cornering, by braking
one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows
a tendency to skid or slide laterally.
This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and
cannot be switched off.
Spin control (SC)The spin control function is designed to help
prevent the drive wheels from spinning while
the vehicle is accelerating.
Under certain circumstances, such as when
driving with snow chains, or driving in deep
snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to
temporarily switch off this function for maxi-
mum tractive force.
WARNING
The car's handling and stability characteris-
tics will be altered if the spin control function
has been disabled.Operation

04 Comfort and driving pleasureCollision warning with Auto-brake (option)
04162
WARNING
•
The camera has the same limitations as
the human eye. In other words, its
“vision is impaired” by adverse weather
conditions such as heavy snowfall,
dense fog, etc. These conditions may
reduce the function of systems that
depend on the camera or cause these
systems to temporarily stop function-
ing.
•
Never place any objects, decals, etc.,
on the windshield in front of the camera.
This could reduce or block the camera’s
function, and could cause one or more
of the systems that utilize the camera to
stop functioning.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the
road surface, ice or snow covering the
road, a dirty road surface, or unclear
lane marker lines may drastically reduce
the camera’s capacity to detect the side
of a lane or another vehicle.
Fault tracing and actionsIf the message
Windshield sensors
blocked
is displayed, this means that the cam-
era is obscured and cannot detect vehicle or
road marker lines in front of the vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Lane Departure Warning, and
Driver Alert Control will not have full function-
ality.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
Cause
Action
The surface of the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or covered
with ice or snow.
Clean or clear the section of the windshield in front of the camera.
Fog, heavy rain or snow is interfering with the function of the camera.
No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the
camera.

04 Comfort and driving pleasureAdaptive Cruise Control–ACC (option)
04166
WARNING
•
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver is always
responsible for applying the brakes if
the system does not detect another
vehicle.
•
Adaptive cruise control does not react
to slow moving or stationary vehicles.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same
lane) is measured by a radar sensor. Your vehi-
cle's speed is regulated by acceleration and
braking. The brakes may emit a sound when
they are being modulated by the adaptive
cruise control system. This is normal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive
cruise control system modulates the
brakes. Do not rest your foot under the
brake pedal.The adaptive cruise control system is designed
to follow the vehicle ahead of you in the same
lane, at a set time interval.
If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle
ahead, the system will then attempt to maintain
the set speed. This is also the case if the speedof the vehicle ahead exceeds the speed that
you have set.
The adaptive cruise control system is designed
to smoothly regulate speed. However, the
driver must apply the brakes in situations that
require immediate braking. This applies when
there are great differences in speed between
vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes sud-
denly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, brak-
ing may occur unexpectedly or not at all,
see page 168.Adaptive cruise control can only be activated
at speeds above 20mph (30 km/h). If speed
falls below 20 mph (30 km/h) or if engine speed
(rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control
disengages and will no longer modulate the
brakes. In situations when adaptive cruise con-
trol cannot be activated
Cruise Control
Unavailable
is shown in the display, see
page 170.
WARNING
When adaptive cruise control disengages,
the brakes will not be modulated automati-
cally. The driver must assume full control
over the vehicle.Warning light-driver braking requiredAdaptive cruise control has a braking capacity
that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the
vehicle's total braking capacity. In situations
requiring more brake force than ACC can pro-
vide, if the driver does not apply the brakes, an
audible signal will sound and a red warning
light will illuminate in the windshield to alert the
driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may
make the visual warning signal in the wind-
shield difficult to see.
WARNING
Cruise control only warns of vehicles
detected by the radar sensor, see
page 168. In some cases there may be no
warning or the warning may be delayed. The
driver should always apply the brakes when
necessary.
