Keyless drive*
Keyless drive, only with PCC (p. 153) 2
means
that the car's lock and starting systems can be operated keylessly. The Keyless drive function in the PCC allows the car to be unlocked (p. 161), driven andlocked without the need for a key. You simplyhave to have the PCC with you. The systemmakes it easier and more convenient to openthe car, e.g. when your hands are full. Both of the car's PCCs incorporate the Keyless function. Additional PCCs can beordered, see Remote control key with keyblade (p. 149). The car's electrical system can be set to three different levels - key position 0, I and II
(p. 70) - with the remote control key.

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.

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 (EDC)EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down orengine braking when driving in low gears onslippery road surfaces. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's abil-ity to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control (CTC)*CTC compensates for understeer and allowshigher than normal acceleration in a bendwithout wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. onan arcing motorway entrance road to quicklyreach the prevailing traffic speed.
Trailer Stability Assist 1Trailer stability assist (p. 312) function is tostabilise the car and trailer combination if itbegins to snake. For more information, seeDriving with a trailer (p. 306).
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Stability and traction control system (DSTC) - operation
The stability and traction control system (p. 175) (DSTC - Dynamic Stability & TractionControl), helps the driver to avoid skiddingand improves the car's traction.
Selection of level - Sport modeThe stability and traction control system isalways activated - it cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select the
Sport
mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. In Sport mode the system
detects whether the accelerator pedal, steer-ing wheel movements and cornering are moreactive than in normal driving and then allowscontrolled skidding with the rear section up toa certain level before it intervenes and stabil-ises the car. If the driver interrupts a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the sta-bility and traction control system intervenesand 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 ordeep snow. Sport mode is selected in the menu system
MY CAR. For a description of the menu sys- tem, see MY CAR (p. 103).

–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The combined instrument panel shows
the stored maximum speed with a col- oured mark (5) and the driver can tem-porarily exceed the set maximumspeed - the mark (5) changes colourduring this time from GREEN toWHITE. The speed limiter is automatically reac- tivated after the release of the acceler-ator pedal and the car's speed isslowed down to below the selected/stored maximum speed - the display'smark (5) changes colour from WHITEto GREEN and the car's maximumspeed is again limited.

Speed limiter* - alarm for speed exceeded
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding apre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. On a steep downhill gradient the speed limit- er's engine braking effect may be inadequateand the selected maximum speed is excee-ded. The driver is alerted about this with anacoustic 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 least3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the
last half minute.

Speed limiter* - deactivation
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. To deactivate the speed limiter:
–Press the steering wheel button .
> The combined instrument panel's sym- bol for the speed limiter (6) and the mark for the set speed (5) are extin-guished. The selected and storedspeed are thus deleted from the mem-ory and cannot be resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator pedal to choose a speed without limi-tation.
