04 Comfort and driving pleasure
DSTC – Stability and traction control system
04
164* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on DSTC
The stability and traction control system, DSTC
(Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) helps
the driver to avoid skidding and improves the
car's traction.
The activation of the system during braking
may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car
may accelerate slower than expected when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
Active Yaw ControlThe function limits the driving and brake force
of the wheels individually in order to stabilise
the car.
Spin ControlThe function prevents the driving wheels from
spinning against the road surface during accel-
eration.
Traction control systemThe function is active at low speed and trans-
fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-
ning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control - EDCEDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-
tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or
engine braking when driving in low gears on
slippery road surfaces.Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,
amongst other things, impair the driver's ability
to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control – CTCCTC compensates for understeer and allows
higher than normal acceleration in a bend with-
out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an
arcing motorway entrance road to quickly
reach the prevailing traffic speed.
Trailer Stability Assist* - TSAThe function serves to stabilise the car and
trailer combination if it begins to snake, see
page 283.
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver
selects Sport mode.
Operation
Selection of level - Sport modeThe DSTC system is always activated - it can-
not be deactivated.
However, the driver can select the Sport mode,
which allows for a more active driving experi-
ence. In Sport mode the system detects
whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel
movements and cornering are more active thanin normal driving and then allows controlled
skidding with the rear section up to a certain
level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.
If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing
the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system
intervenes and stabilises the car.
With Sport mode, maximum traction is
obtained if the car has become stuck, or when
driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep
snow.
Proceed as follows to select Sport mode:
1.
Press the centre console button MY CAR
and search in the display screen's menu
system and locate My S60
DSTC. (For
information on the menu system, see
page 142).
2. Uncheck the symbol and back out of the
menu system.
> The system then allows a more sporty
driving style.
The Sport mode is active until the driver dese-
lects it or until the engine is switched off - after
the engine is started the next time the DSTC
system is back in its normal mode again.
Messages in the information display
DSTC Temporarily OFF means that the sys-
tem has been temporarily reduced due to
excessive temperature in the brake discs.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure
Adapting driving characteristics
04
166* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Active chassis (Four-C)*
Active chassis, Four-C (Continously Controlled
Chassis Concept), regulates the characteris-
tics of the shock absorbers so that the car's
driving characteristics can be adjusted. There
are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
ComfortThis setting means that the car is perceived as
being more comfortable on rough and uneven
road surfaces. Shock absorption is soft and the
movement of the body is smooth and gentle.
SportThis setting means that the car is perceived as
being more sporty and is recommended for
more active driving. Steering response is faster
than in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption is
harder and the body follows the road in order
to reduce rolling during cornering.
AdvancedThis setting is only recommended on very even
and smooth road surfaces.
The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi-
mum roadholding and rolling in bends is further
minimised.
Operation
Chassis settings.
Use the buttons in the centre console to
change setting. The setting in use when the
engine is switched off is activated next time the
engine is started.
Speed related power steering*
Steering force increases with the speed of the
car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. The
steering is firmer and more immediate on
motorways. Steering is light and requires no
extra effort when parking and at low speed.
The driver can choose between three different
levels of steering force for road responsiveness
or steering sensitivity. Go to the menu system
MY CAR and locate Settings
Car settings
Steering wheel force and select Low,
Medium or High.
For a description of the menu system, see
page 142. This menu cannot be accessed
while the car is in motion.

05 Infotainment system
External audio source via AUX/USB* input

236* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
AUX, USB1 and external audio source
General
Connection points for external audio sources.
An external audio source, e.g. an iPodŸ or MP3
player, can be connected to the audio system
via any of the connections in the centre con-
sole. An audio source connected to the USB
input can then be handled
2 with the car's audio
controls. A device connected via the AUX input
cannot be controlled via the car.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a steering wheel
keypad* and/or remote control* then in
many cases these can be used instead of
the buttons in the centre console. For a
description of the buttons in the steering
wheel, see page 220. For a description of
the remote control, see page 245.
An iPodŸ or MP3 player with rechargeable bat-
teries is recharged (when the ignition is on or
the engine is running) if the device is plugged
into the USB connection.
To connect the audio source:
1.
Repeatedly press on MEDIA to reach the
desired audio source
USB, iPod or AUX,
release and wait a second or press OK/
MENU.
>
If USB is selected then
Connect USB is
shown in the TV screen.
2. Connect your audio source to one of the
connections in the centre console's stor-
age compartment (see previous illustra-
tion).
The text
Reading USB is shown in the TV
screen when the system is loading the storagemedia's file structure. Depending on the file
structure and number of files there may be
some delay before loading is finished.
NOTE
The system supports most iPodŸ models
produced in 2005 or later.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the USB connection,
this is shut off if the USB connection is
short-circuited or if a connected USB unit is
taking too much power (this may happen if
the unit connected does not meet the USB
standard). The USB connection is reactiva-
ted automatically the next time the ignition
is turned on, unless the fault persists.
MenusThe menus inMEDIA are controlled from the
centre console and the steering wheel key-
pad*. For general information on menu naviga-
tion and menu structures, see page 259.
Playback and navigation3
Turn TUNE to access the playlist/folder struc-
ture and navigate in the list/structure. Use OK/
MENU to either confirm selection of subfolder

list or go up (back) in the folder structure.
Audio/video files can also be changed by
pressing

takes place automatically when all the files in
the current folder have been played back. The
system automatically detects and changes
setting when a device containing only audio
files or only video files is connected to the USB
port and then it plays back these files. How-
ever, the system does not change setting if a
device containing a mixture of audio and video
files is connected to the USB port, but instead
the player continues to play back the previous
file type.

Audio sources
USB memory
To facilitate the use of a USB memory stick,
only store music files on it. It takes a lot longer
for the system to load storage media that con-
tains anything other than compatible music
files.
NOTE
The system supports mobile media compli-
ant with USB 2.0 and the FAT32 file system
and can handle 1000 folders with a maxi-
mum of 254 subfolders/files in every folder.
The top level, which can handle up to 1000
subfolders/files, is an exception to this.
NOTE
When using a longer model USB memory
stick the use of the enclosed USB adapter
cable is recommended. This is to avoid
mechanical wear to the USB input and the
connected USB memory stick.
USB hubIt is possible to connect a USB hub to the USB
connection and thereby connect multiple USB
devices simultaneously. Selection of USB
device is made in
USB mode under USB menu
Select USB device.
MP3 playerMany MP3 players have their own file systems
that are not supported by the audio system. For
use in the system, an MP3 player must be set
in
USB Removable device/Mass Storage
Device mode.
iPodŸ
An iPodŸ is charged and supplied with power
by the USB connection* via the player's con-
nection cable.
