cars with automatic gearbox when the
accelerator pedal is depressed and the gear
selector is in position D or R.
Heavy load uphillA heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the
car to roll backward when the parking brake is

HomeLink Ÿ Ÿ *
03
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.137 General
HomeLink Ÿ is a programmable remote control
which can control up to three different devices
(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-
ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so
replace their remote controls. HomeLink
Ÿ is
supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink
Ÿ panel consists of three pro-
grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.
NOTE
HomeLink Ÿ is designed not to work if the car
is locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when switching to
another car).
Delete the button programming when the
car is to be sold.
Metallic sun visors should not be used in
cars fitted with HomeLink
Ÿ. This may have
an adverse effect on its function.
Operation
When HomeLink Ÿ is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Depress the programmed button to activate
the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-
ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
If the ignition is not activated, HomeLink Ÿ
will work for 30 minutes after the driver's
door has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course be
used in parallel with HomeLink Ÿ.
WARNING
If HomeLink Ÿ is used to operate a garage
door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the
vicinity of the door or gate while it is in
motion.
Do not use the HomeLink
Ÿ remote control
for any garage door that does not have
safety stop and safety reverse. The garage
door must react immediately when it
detects that something is preventing its
movement, and stop directly and reverse. A
garage door without these characteristics
could cause personal injury. For further
information - contact the supplier via the
Internet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first timeThe first step erases the memory in
HomeLink Ÿ and must not be carried out when
only one individual button is being reprogram-
med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not
release until the indicator lamp starts to
flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-
ing indicates that HomeLink
Ÿ is set in
"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-
grammed.
2. Position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink
Ÿ. Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.

NOTE
The air quality sensor should always be
engaged in order to obtain the best air in the

Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.
If the insides of the windows start misting
up, disengage the air quality sensor, and the
defroster functions for the windscreen, the

DSTC – Stability and traction control system
04
168* 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 288.
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 than
in 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 144).
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.
