Actual temperature
The temperature you select in the passenger compartment corresponds to the physicalexperience with reference to factors such asair speed, humidity and solar radiation etc. inand around the car. The system includes a sun sensor (p. 116) which detects on which side the sun is shin-ing into the passenger compartment. Thismeans that the temperature can differbetween the right and left-hand air ventsdespite the controls being set for the sametemperature on both sides.

The tailgate is opened via a buttonon the lighting panel or the remotecontrol key, see Locking/unlocking -
tailgate (p. 167).
WARNING
The car’s driving properties change depending on the weight and positioningof the load.
To bear in mind when loading
• Position the load firmly against the rear seat's backrest.
Note that objects must not prevent the func- tion of the WHIPS system for the front seats ifany of the rear seat's backrests is foldeddown, seeWHIPS - seating position (p. 35).
• Centre the load.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads onlowered backrests.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft toavoid damaging the upholstery. •
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-lets with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h,carry the impact of an item weighing1000 kg.
WARNING
The protection provided by the inflatable curtain in the headlining may be compro-mised or eliminated by high loads.
• Never load cargo above the backrest.
WARNING
Always secure the load. During heavy braking the load may otherwise shift, caus-ing injury to the car's occupants. Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with something soft. Switch off the engine and apply the park- ing brake when loading/unloading longitems. Otherwise you may accidentallyknock the gear lever or gear selector withthe load into a drive position - and the carcould then move off.

Active chassis - Four C*
Active chassis "Four-C" (Continously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates thecharacteristics of the shock absorbers so thatthe car's driving characteristics can beadjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,
Sport and Advanced .
ComfortThis setting means that the car is perceivedas being more comfortable on rough anduneven road surfaces. Shock absorption issoft and the movement of the body is smoothand gentle.
SportThis setting means that the car is perceivedas being more sporty and is recommendedfor more active driving. Steering response isfaster than in the Comfort mode. Shockabsorption is harder and the body follows theroad in order to reduce rolling during corner-ing.
AdvancedThis setting is only recommended on veryeven and smooth road surfaces. The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi- mum roadholding and rolling in bends is fur-ther minimised.
Operation
Control buttons.
The required chassis setting is selected using the centre console buttons. The setting usedwhen the engine was switched off is re-acti-vated when the engine is next started. Theexception is Advanced - it is restarted asSport.
Stability and traction control system (DSTC)
The stability and traction control system, DSTC (Dynamic Stability & Traction Control),helps the driver to avoid skidding andimproves the car's traction. The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. Thecar may accelerate slower than expectedwhen the accelerator pedal is depressed. The system consists of the following func- tions: • Active Yaw Control
• Spin Control
• Traction control system
• Engine drag control - EDC
• Corner Traction Control - CTC
• Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA
Active Yaw ControlThe function checks the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order tostabilise the car.
Spin ControlThe function prevents the driving wheels fromspinning against the road surface duringacceleration.

Road Sign Information (RSI)*
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed.
Examples of readable speed related signs 2
.
The RSI function gives information on current speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is star-ting/ending and when overtaking is prohibi-ted. If both a sign for motorway/road for motor- ised traffic and a sign showing the maximumpermitted speed are passed, RSI decides toshow the sign symbol for maximum permittedspeed.
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 drivensafely and that applicable road traffic rulesand regulations are followed.

Recorded speed information 3
.
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an imposed speed, the combined instrumentpanel displays the sign as a symbol.
Together with the symbol forthe current speed limit, asign showing that overtakingis prohibited may also bedisplayed where appropriate.

End of restriction or motorwayA corresponding road sign is shown in the combined instrument panel forapprox. 10 seconds in situations where RSIdetects a sign that involves the end of aspeed limit - or other speed-related informa-tion, e.g. end of a motorway. Examples of such signs are:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway. Following which, the sign information is hid- den until the next speed-related sign isdetected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs3
.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos- ted for the same road - an additional signthen indicates the circumstances under whichthe different speeds apply. The road sectionmay be particularly susceptible to accidentsin rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on anexit is indicated in certainmarkets by means of anadditional sign containing anarrow. Speed signs linked to this
type of additional sign are displayed only if the driver is using the direction indicator.
Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a specific distance or at a certain time of day.The driver's attention is drawn to the situationby means of a symbol for an additional signunder the symbol showing speed.
Display of additional information
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frame under the combined instrumentpanel's speed symbol means that the RSI hasdetected an additional sign with supplemen-tary information for the current speed limit.
Setting in MY CARThere are options for RSI in the MY CAR
menu system; see MY CAR (p. 103).
