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.

Road sign information - RSI*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.149
The speed applicable on an
exit is indicated by means of
an additional sign containing
an arrow. The arrow is dis-
played under the symbol
showing the speed.
Speed signs linked to this type of additional
sign are displayed only if the driver is using the
direction indicator.
Limited distance or time of daySome speeds are applicable
only after a specific distance
or at a certain time of day. The
driver's attention is drawn to
the situation by means of an
empty frame under the sym-
bol showing the speed.
Setting in MY CAR
Options in MY CAR.
The instrument panel’s speed symbol display
can be disabled. To deactivate the RSI func-
tion:
•Uncheck the option in MY CAR Settings
Car settingsRoad Sign
Information and go back by pressing
EXIT, see page 203.
Speed warningThe driver can opt to receive a warning (Speed
Alert) when the applicable speed limit is excee-
ded by 5 km/h or more. This warning is given
by the symbol showing the applicable maxi-
mum speed temporarily flashing when this
speed is exceeded.
To activate speed warning:
•Check speed warning in MY CAR
Settings
Car settingsSpeed alert
and go back by pressing EXIT, see
page 203.
Limitations
The RSI function's camera sensor is limited -
just like the human eye. Find out more about
this on page 178.
Signs which indirectly provide information on a
prevailing speed limit, e.g. name signs for
towns/districts, are not recorded by the RSI
function.Here are several examples of what can disrupt
the function:
•Faded signs
•Signs positioned on bends
•Rotated or damaged signs
•Concealed or poorly positioned signs.
•Signs completely or partly covered with
frost, snow and/or dirt.

temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is re-activated by one
press on
at which the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Temporary deactivation with the
accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be set in standby
mode with the accelerator pedal, e.g. for rap-
idly accelerating the car out of a situation:
–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The display shows the stored maximum
speed in brackets (5) and the driver can
temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is automatically re-
activated after the release of the accel-
erator pedal and the car's speed is
slowed down to below the selected/
stored maximum speed - the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Alarm for speed exceededOn steep roads the engine braking effect may
be inadequate and the selected maximum
speed exceeded. The driver is alerted about
this with an acoustic signal.The signal is active until the driver has slowed
to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds
if the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the last
half minute.
DeactivateTo deactivate the speed limiter:
–
Press the steering wheel button
.
> The display's symbol for the speed lim-
iter and the set speed (5) are cleared.
