HomeLinkŸŸ *
03
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.141 General
HomeLinkŸ1 is a programmable remote control
which can remotely control up to three different
devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-
tem, outdoor lighting and indoor lighting etc.)
and in doing so replace their remote controls.
For more information on HomeLink
Ÿ, visit:
www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number, +49 6838 907 277).
WARNING
•If HomeLinkŸ is used to operate a
garage door or gate, make sure that
there is no-one in the vicinity of the door
or gate while it is moving.
•The car should remain outside the
garage while a garage door opener is
being programmed.
•Do not use HomeLinkŸ for any garage
door that does not have safety stop and
safety reverse.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when changing to another
car or for use in another vehicle). It is also rec-
ommended that the programming for the but-
tons is deleted when the car is sold. See the
section "Resetting the HomeLink® buttons" on
page 142.
Programming HomeLinkŸ
NOTE
In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink
Ÿ can be programmed or
used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink
Ÿ for faster programming and
improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink
Ÿ buttons should be reset
before programming. When this has been
done HomeLink
Ÿ is set in "learn mode" and
ready for programming.
1. Aim the original remote control towards the
HomeLinkŸ button to be programmed and
hold it 5-14 cm from the button. Do not
obstruct the indicator lamp on
HomeLink
Ÿ.
2. Depress the button on the original remote
control and the button to be programmed
on HomeLink
Ÿ simultaneously. Do not
release the buttons until the indicator lamp
has changed over from slow to rapid flash-
ing. Both the buttons must be released
when the indicator lamp flashes quickly.

3.
Depress the HomeLinkŸ button being
programmed, hold it depressed for
5 seconds and then release it. Repeat if
necessary until the garage door is acti-
vated. If the door is not activated, press the
programmed HomeLink
Ÿ button and hold
it depressed and check the indicator lamp.
>
Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu-
minates with a constant glow when the
button is kept depressed, this indicates
that the programming is complete.
The garage door, gate or similar should
now be activated when the pro-
grammed HomeLink
Ÿ button is
depressed.
Glow not constant: The indicator lamp
flashes quickly for approx. 2 seconds
and then changes over to a constant
glow. In which case, continue with the
programming steps 4-6 in order to com-
plete the programming of a device with
rolling code (usually a garage door
opener).
4.
Locate the "programming button
2" on the
receiver for the garage door for example,
normally located close to the antenna's
bracket on the receiver.5. Depress and release the receiver's "pro-
gramming button". The button flashes for
approx. 30 seconds and the next step must
be carried out within this period.
6. While the receiver's "programming button"
is still flashing, press the button on
HomeLink
Ÿ being programmed and hold it
depressed for approx. 2 seconds and then
release it. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence up to 3 times to conclude the
programming.
Operation
When HomeLinkŸ is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Press the programmed button and hold it
depressed until the garage door, alarm system,
etc. is activated (may take several seconds).
Naturally the original remote controls can still
be used in parallel with HomeLink
Ÿ if required.
NOTE
If the ignition is switched off, HomeLinkŸ will
work for 30 minutes after the driver's door
has been opened.
If programming problems persist, contact
HomeLinkŸ on: www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number +49 6838 907 277).
Resetting the HomeLinkŸ buttons
It is only possible to reset all of the
HomeLinkŸ buttons at the same time, not each
button individually. However, individual but-
tons can be reprogrammed, see the following
section "Programming individual buttons".
1. Depress the two outer buttons on
HomeLink
Ÿ and do not release until the
indicator lamp starts to flash.
2. Release the buttons.
>
HomeLink
Ÿ is now set in so-called
"learn mode" and is ready to be reprog-
rammed, see section "Programming
HomeLink®" on page 141.

DSTC – Stability and traction control system
04
146* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on DSTC
The stability and traction control system, DSTC
(Dynamic Stability & 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 303.
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 V60
DSTC. (For
information on the menu system, see
page 202).
2. Uncheck the box and back out of the menu
system with EXIT.
> 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.

Road sign information - RSI*
04
148* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on RSI
Examples of readable speed signs1.
The Road sign information function (RSI – Road
Sign Information) helps the driver to remember
which road signs the car has passed through
information on - among other things - the cur-
rent speed, the start/end of a motorway or
road, and when overtaking is prohibited.
If a sign for both a motorway/road for motor-
ised traffic and a sign showing the maximum
permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to
show the sign symbol for maximum permitted
speed.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable road traffic rules
and regulations are followed.
Operation
Recorded speed information.
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an
imposed speed, the sign is displayed as a sym-
bol on the instrument panel.Together with the symbol for
the current speed limit, a sign
showing that overtaking is
prohibited may also be dis-
played where appropriate.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs1.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos-
ted for the same road - an additional sign then
indicates the circumstances under which the
different speeds apply. The road section may
be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain
and/or fog, for example.
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
1Road signs which are displayed in the instrument panel are dependent on the market - the illustration only shows a few examples.
